FRANKFURT, Germany -- Bayern Munich warmed up for its Champions League semifinal against Real Madrid with a 5-2 win over Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga on Saturday. Bayern trailed twice but scored three goals in a seven-minute span in the second half to put the match away. Franck Ribery scored and played a role in two other goals as his form finally improved ahead of Tuesdays match against Madrid, which holds a 1-0 lead from the home leg. Claudio Pizarro scored twice for Bayern against his former club. "We conceded two counter goals and we cant let it happen on Tuesday," Pizarro said. "Perhaps its better not to score so many if we give away fewer." Bayer Leverkusen drew 2-2 at home with Borussia Dortmund and failed to consolidate a place in Champions League qualifying. Leverkusen was only one point ahead of Wolfsburg. Dortmund remained second and was sure to play in the Champions League next season. Wolfsburgs mood was dampened by a 2-2 draw against Freiburg at home. Bottom clubs Nuremberg and Eintracht Braunschweig both lost, which means they can avoid relegation only by reaching the playoff spot at the expense of Hamburger SV, which plays on Sunday in Augsburg. There are two rounds left. Hamburg has a match in hand and could escape from the playoff spot. Nuremberg lost 2-0 in Mainz, Braunschweig went down 2-0 at Hertha Berlin, and Hoffenheim and Eintracht Frankfurt drew 0-0. Bayerns players wore black armbands and a minute of silence was observed before kickoff in honour of former Barcelona coach Tito Vilanova, who died on Friday. Bayern also expressed condolences, in German and Catalan, on its website. Before becoming head coach, Vilanova was the assistant of Pep Guardiola, who is now the Bayern coach. "We experienced a lot together. We lost together and won together. This is a very difficult situation," Guardiola said. "The sadness will accompany me forever." Guardiola said he was disappointed with his players for the first time this season after their performance in the first half. "The fans dont deserve to see such a first half. In the second, it was better," he said. "But the win is good for our mood." Guardiola, wearing a dark blue sweater instead of his customary suit, left several regulars on the bench and saw his team get off to a slow start and fall behind after 10 minutes. Cedrick Makiadi led a counterattack and sent a perfect pass to Theodor Gebre Selassie, who slotted past Manuel Neuer. Ribery got the equalizer 10 minutes later. Pizarro got a loose ball and sent a through pass to Ribery, who shot through the legs of Bremen goalkeeper Raphael Wolf. Aaron Hunt made it 2-1 with Bremens second chance. Franco Di Santo crossed long to the opposite side, Hunt easily faked Jerome Boateng, and slotted inside the far post. Bayerns comeback began in the 54th with a corner from Ribery. Thomas Mueller headed down to the far post, where Pizarro sidefooted the ball in. Three minutes later, Ribery gave a no-look pass to David Alaba, whose short feed found Pizarro unchallenged and the striker slid to knock the ball home. In the 61st, Philipp Lahm crossed from the right and Bastian Schweinsteiger rose to send a powerful header into the roof of the net. Arjen Robben scored in the 74th in his first possession after coming off the bench. Robben cut inside from the right in his trademark move and drove home with his left foot, finding the low corner as Bremen fell to its seventh straight Bundesliga defeat to Bayern. Bayern has already clinched the Bundesliga title and is seeking to become the only club to win the Champions League twice in a row. While its attacking game fell into place after the break, Bayerns defence struggled against the fast break. Bayern has conceded eight goals in its last three Bundesliga matches at home. Lars Bender put Leverkusen ahead with a seventh-minute header after Stefan Kiesslings header bounced off the crossbar. Oliver Kirch headed in the equalizer after Marco Reus cross in the 29th, but Dortmund fell behind again in the 35th with Gonzalo Castros header. Only four minutes later, Reus converted a penalty for the final score. Kiessling, Leverkusens top scorer, limped off the field late with a suspected hamstring injury. Air Max 270 Ispa For Sale Uk .

Golden State can do no wrong it seems. They havent lost since a home setback to the defending champion San Antonio Spurs on Nov. 11 and have taken seven in a row as the visitor. The Warriors rank third in scoring and seventh in opponents scoring. On Saturday night, the Warriors faced one of their stiffest challenges to date, but emerged from the United Center with a 112-102 victory over the Chicago Bulls. Stephen Curry continued his shooting struggles at the United Center, but Draymond Green picked up the slack. Green scored a career-high 31 points and stuffed the stat sheet for the Warriors. He made seven 3-pointers, which was a career-best, as part of an 11- for-20 shooting performance while also contributing seven rebounds, four steals and three blocks. Klay Thompson added 24 points and Curry scored 19 for the Warriors. Curry handed out a game-high seven assists but shot just 5-for-14 from the field in his first career win against the Bulls in Chicago. He hit a combined 19-for-55 in four previous losses. All I know is, its great to haave good players, said first-year Warriors head coach Steve Kerr.ddddddddddddIm the luckiest coach in the NBA. The Warriors return to Oracle Arena Wednesday to face the Houston Rockets, then hit the road for three straight through the south. The Warriors own the NBAs best record and will face the team with the worst mark in the Western Conference. The Timberwolves are just 4-15 as theyve been ravaged by injuries. Ricky Rubio, Nikola Pekovic and Kevin Martin have been gone for a good portion of time and wont be back any time soon. On Saturday, the Timberwolves fell to the Spurs, 123-101, in San Antonio. Zach LaVine led Minnesota with 22 points and a career-high 10 assists, while Shabazz Muhammad chipped in 20 points in the clubs fifth straight setback. Thaddeus Young and Anthony Bennett each scored 14 points for the Timberwolves, who have dropped eight of their last nine. I dont think anyone played (well), Timberwolves head coach Flip Saunders said. The Spurs shot 57.3 percent from the field and out-rebounded Minny by 10. On a positive note, the T-wolves committed just eight turnovers, compared to 17 from San Antonio. The Warriors have won eight of the last nine encounters. Golden State has won five in a row and nine of the last 10 in Minnesota. ' ' '
