Champions League winners Bayern Munich ended the group stage by beating Lokomotiv Moscow and taking their unbeaten streak to 17 matches in the competition.
Bayern won all 11 matches en route to lifting the trophy last season and have only drawn one group match this season.
A powerful header from Niklas Sule broke the deadlock and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting scored a goal in the second for the hosts.
Atlético de Madrid sealed second place in Group A with a 2-0 win over Red Bull Salzburg, which enters the Europa League.
Hansi Flick’s Bayern did not have star forward Robert Lewandowski, who was left out with a slight muscle injury, and should have won by a larger margin.
Before scoring in the 63rd minute, center-back Sule saw a header that Lokomotiv goalkeeper Guilherme countered with a header, which also brilliantly made Serge Gnabry’s shot for the first time.
Former Manchester City winger Leroy Sane launched a deflected header, and England’s Jamaal Musiala, 17, came off the bench but was unable to add to his goal against RB Leipzig at the weekend.
Lokomotiv’s best chance fell to Maciej Rybus, but the Polish side’s shot from the angle was comfortable for Bayern keeper Manuel Neuer.
