Bordeaux are also through. Even if Bayern manage to finish level on points with them, Bordeaux hold the tie-breaker (head-to-head results between the two teams). But at this rate, Bayern aren't going through...
And i'm still trying to figure out what was wrong with Pato's goal :-)[Reply]
The ref in the Milan/Madrid game was horrendous both ways. Kaka again tried to do too much in this fixture and ended up hurting the team more than he helped it. Higuan was also non existent after a brilliant performance against Getafe.

Its shaping up to be a really good last couple of match days. With a lot of top clubs on the verge of not making the knockout stages.
Arsenal clinched there spot in the knockout stages. Really good performance by the Gunners today. Especially from Arshavin, Nasri, and Cesc.

If I did the math right, a win by Fiorentina on Match Day 5 will eliminate Liverpool from the competition, As Lyon has the tiebreaker edge(head to head record) over Liverpool.

Yup - Lyon are already through.
And if Fiorentina only draw against Lyon in Week 5, then Liverpool need to beat Fiorentina by 3 goals in the last round (assuming 'Pool beat Debreceni in Hungary...but thats a given right?)

So is Bayern screwed from here as far as advancing goes or do they still have a chance to go through?

Bayern still have a chance, but they have to beat Maccabi Haifi at home next time out AND need Bordeaux to get at least a draw against Juventus. Then Bayern must beat Juve away from home in the final match.
But if Juve win at Bordeaux in round 5, then Bayern are out (but will go into the Europa League if they finish third in the group).
