Holders Bayern Munich and Manchester United both qualified for the Champions League quarter-finals after a low-key 0-0 draw at Old Trafford tonight.

With Boavista failing to beat Nantes, 1-1, in the other group A game, both teams are assured of a place in the top two with one match left.

Bayern goalkeeper Oliver Kahn saved United's best effort from Dutchman Ruud van Nistelrooy, while Bayern's Claudio Pizarro forced a good save from Fabien Barthez.

The result means the English champions, who beat Bayern in the 1999 final but lost to them in last year's quarter-finals, stay top of the group on nine points, the same as the Germans.
