Harry Kane’s brace propelled Bayern Munich to overturn a first-leg deficit against Lazio, securing their spot in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
With Bayern trailing 1-0 from the initial leg in Rome, Kane’s header equalized the aggregate score, setting the stage for a tense encounter.
Thomas Muller, a stalwart of the team, extended Bayern’s lead on the night with yet another header, ensuring their progression in the tournament.
Kane further solidified Bayern’s advantage, making it 3-1 on aggregate from close range after Leroy Sane’s shot was parried into his path.
The remarkable turnaround by Bayern was especially noteworthy considering their challenging domestic season.
Thomas Tuchel’s side was on the brink of facing their first season without a major trophy since 2011-12.
Nevertheless, this victory keeps alive Tuchel’s aspirations of securing Bayern’s seventh European title before the departure of the former Chelsea boss at the end of the season.
The draw for the quarter-finals is scheduled for March 15th.
