BERLIN (Reuters) - Bayern Munich reached the Champions League knockout stage with two games to spare and a record-equalling win but last season's treble winners know they will need to shake off their recent sleepy starts to repeat the success.

The Bavarians took a long time to get going against Viktoria Plzen in their 1-0 win on Tuesday and had to wait for more than an hour for Mario Mandzukic's winner against a team they had crushed 5-0 in Munich last month.
