Ukraine: Bayern Munich's Xabi Alonso was sent off on his 100th Champions League appearance as the German side were held to a scoreless draw by Shakthar Donetsk in the last 16 first leg clash on Tuesday.

Alonso picked up his second booking after 65 minutes but Bayern comfortably held on to secure a positive result in a first leg played out in sub-zero temperatures in Lviv. The Bundesliga champions will be confident they can complete the job in three weeks' time in Munich but Pep Guardiola will be relieved that they survived an ill-tempered encounter in Ukraine.
