Former Arsenal player Serge Gnabry put in yet another brilliant performance in London as he scored a brace against former Champions League winners Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. In what was expected to be a closer tie, the defending Bundesliga champions destroyed the Blues at their home and cruised to a 0-3 victory which should be enough to see them through to the next round.

Frank Lampard and his team held their own in the first half but were completely outmatched by Bayern in the remaining 45 minutes as they scored three without reply. Hans-Dieter Flick has done a stellar job since his appointment as the Bayern boss, and this performance was a message to the other teams in the competition - the German giants are to be feared and respected.

Bayern has won all seven of their CL games this season, and their place in the quarter-finals of the competition is all but assured. The only reason they do not rank first on this list is due to the victory of the first-placed team in our rankings.
