Barca cruised to a comfortable 4-0 victory as Bayern beat Athletico by 1-0

Arda Turan scored a second-half hat-trick as Barcelona cruised to a comfortable 4-0 Champions League victory over Borussia Monchengladbach at the Nou Camp.

Barcelona were already guaranteed top spot in Group C heading into Tuesday night's game, while Monchengladbach couldn't finish anywhere but third, but that didn't stop Luis Enrique's side putting on a fine display.

Lionel Messi slotted home early on, and Turkish midfielder Turan added three more after the break as they brought an end to their run of three straight draws in all competitions.

The result will help ease the pressure on boss Luis Enrique, who has seen his side fall six points behind bitter rivals Real Madrid in La Liga.

Barcelona began the game in typically dominant fashion as they looked to improve upon their recent run of poor form, and it took just 16 minutes to get themselves into the lead as Messi played a one-two into the box with Turan, before finishing coolly past Yann Sommer.

Without Neymar and Luis Suarez, who started on the bench, Barca somewhat lacked a cutting edge up front and Enrique's side couldn't turn their possession into any more goals in the first half.

But the home side took complete charge early in the second half as Turan struck twice, first after 50 minutes when he headed home from Denis Suarez's deflected cross, then slotting smartly into the bottom corner after Aleix Vidal had pulled the ball back to him on the edge of the area.

And after 67 minutes, the Turkish midfielder completed his hat-trick, again having the simplest of finishes at the far post after Paco Alcacer had played the ball across the six-yard box into his path.

Barcelona continued to control the final quarter of the game as they eventually attempted a total of 993 passes throughout the game, the most in a single Champions League match since the 2003/04 campaign. They'll be in the hat for the last-16 draw of the Champions League next Monday, while Monchengladbach drop into the Europa League.

Bayern Munich deprived Atletico Madrid of a perfect record in the Champions League group stages with a 1-0 win thanks to Robert Lewandowski's delightful free-kick.

Lewandowski's curled effort from 20 yards out came after Yannick Carrasco spurned two great opportunities for the visitors to take the lead.

The German side claimed their 15th consecutive Champions League win at the Allianz in what was ultimately a dead rubber, with Atletico having already confirmed first ahead of Bayern in Group D.

Bayern will therefore go into Monday's draw as the second-placed side teams will want to avoid in the last 16.

Despite the hosts enjoying the majority of possession in the first half, it was Atletico who carved out two great chances to break the deadlock.

Both fell to Carrasco, but the Belgian twice fired straight at Manuel Neuer - firstly after being played in by Antoine Griezmann, the second coming from a delightful Lucas cross.

Bayern's first chance fell to Douglas Costa after 20 minutes, but the Brazilian shot straight at Jan Oblak from a narrow angle.

It was just eight minutes later when Bayern took the lead, with Lewandowski bending in a delightful effort from 20 yards out after Carrasco brought down Juan Bernat.

Atletico rarely stretched Bayern after the break and the hosts looked comfortable as they looked to defend their lead.

Bayern could have had a second through Costa, but his volley 10 minutes into the second half was straight at Oblak.

On the hour mark, Robben had appeals for a penalty turned down, with the Dutchman going down under the faintest of touches from Stefan Savic.

With 12 minutes to go, a brilliant move from Bayern saw Costa cross it in for Thiago Alcantara six yards out, but the Spaniard scooped it over.

That was as close as Bayern came to scoring a second, and the German outfit saw out the remainder of the game to extend their fine record at home in Europe.
