Bayern Munich stormed into the Champions League quarter-finals, securing a 5-0 aggregate victory over Bayer Leverkusen after a 2-0 win in the second leg at the BayArena.
Leverkusen, missing their playmaker Florian Wirtz, struggled for creativity despite showing more energy than in the first leg. They held firm defensively early on, but their hopes faded as halftime approached.
The second half began disastrously for Xabi Alonso’s men, as Harry Kane capitalized on a defensive mix-up to open the scoring from a set-piece. Any hopes of a comeback were dashed when Alphonso Davies sealed the win with a well-worked team goal, further exposing Leverkusen’s frail defense.
Across both legs, Leverkusen’s downfall was their own mistakes, with nearly every Bayern goal stemming from individual errors. Bayern now march into the quarter-finals, keeping their European ambitions alive.
