Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola has said that his side were dominant in their Champions League thrashing of Shakhtar Donetsk this evening.
The German champions cruised into the quarter-finals of the competition with a 7-0 victory over the Ukrainian side at the Allianz Arena.
Guardiola has conceded that his side's task was made easier after the visitors were reduced to 10 men after just three minutes, when Olexandr Kucher was dismissed for a foul on Mario Gotze inside the penalty area.
"We are very pleased," Goal.com quotes Guardiola as saying. "We deserved the win. The players did fantastically.
"Of course it is a little easier against 10 men. But from the beginning we could see that the team was alert. Congratulations to the team, we dominated the game."
Tonight's game was the second time in this year's competition that Bayern have scored seven goals in a match, following their 7-1 success away at Roma in the group stages back in October.
