Last-eight berth delights Ribery

Franck Ribery believes Bayern Munich’s dramatic progression to the Champions League quarter-finals at the expense of Fiorentina last night underlines the unity in the ranks at the Bundesliga club.

Bayern’s Dutch connection secured the aggregate win, with goals Mark van Bommel and Arjen Robben not enough to avert a 3-2 loss on the night but sufficient to see the Germans progress on away goals at the Stadio Artemio Franchi.
