Franck Ribéry, Thomas Müller and Arjen Robben all struck with City goalkeeper Joe Hart culpable for all three goals as his poor form worsens.
Alvaro Negredo hit an excellent consolation but just like two years ago the Bavarians were too good for City. CSKA Moscow beat Viktoria Plzeň 3-2 in the other group game.
