Bayern, Atlético win big, Liverpool lose, Barca draw

AP: Bayern Munich and Atlético Madrid took giant strides toward the Champions League quarterfinals with big wins yesterday. Liverpool and Barcelona still have work to do. Bayern thrashed Atalanta 6-1 without top scorer Harry Kane in the starting line-up. And Atletico made under-pressure Tottenham coach Igor Tudor pay for his bold call to drop first-choice goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario by racing to a 3-0 lead inside 15 minutes. The Spanish giants eventually won 5-2.
