Champions League
Kane pulls the plug
In the Champions League, it looked bad for Bayer Leverkusen after the first leg against Bayern Munich. In the second leg, Bayern didn’t let anything burn.
The Leverkusen miracle without football artist Florian Wirtz has failed to materialize and the world for FC Bayern Munich again in the best order. With the 2-0 (0-0) in the German Champions League bang at Doublesieger Bayer Leverkusen, the Bundesliga leader made the quarter-finals perfect on Tuesday.
The mortgage of the 0: 3 from the first leg and the injury -related failure of her best player Wirtz waved too heavy for the workself from coach Xabi Alonso. Goal scorer Harry Kane (52nd minute) and Alphonso Davies (71st) made the sovereign Bavaria victory perfect.
“We knew we had to be at a top level to beat them. We made two very good games. We have to take that into the other games,” said Bavaria’s international Jamal Musiala at Amazon Prime.
Mortgage from the first leg too big

In April for Bayern on the avenged path to the final Dahoam against Inter Milan. Then there is a reunion with her last master goalkeeper Yann Sommer. “We all want to get to the final, but now we have taken this step. The next step is Inter Milan,” said Musiala.
Bayern Munich wins duel with Bayer Leverkusen
This year’s Saisond duel is thus decided with Leverkusen in favor of Bayern. The team of coach Vincent Kompany was not only surprisingly clear in the German Champions League duel.

These German-German European Cup duels went down in history
1. FC Köln-Borussia Mönchengladbach (UEFA-Cup, 1972/73)
It all started with a Rhein derby in the UEFA Cup: in 1972/73 the 1. FC Köln and Borussia Mönchengladbach met in the round of 16. After a 0-0 Gladbach around the legends Jupp Heynckes and Günter Netzer clearly won the first leg 5: 0. In the next round, the foals met for the next German representative: the 1. FC Kaiserslautern

Without her ankle, Topstar Wirtz injured on the ankle, Leverkusen was missing the fixed point in the game in order to lay the foundation for a catch -up early. Alonso reacted to the landlord by relying on striker Patrik Schick from the start. Most recently, the tactic tinkerer had played twice against Bayern without a center forward.
Alonso relies on Hradecky again
At the 0-0 in the Bundesliga in February, he had – almost – chess matt. The record champion was without a chance like in a Bundesliga game and was not lost with great luck. In the 3-0 of Bayern in the previous week, however, the trick went completely wrong, but the game completely slipped Leverkusen.
Above all, this time, Alonso rely on captain Lukas Hradecky (35) in the Bayer goal. In the first leg he had given Matej Kovar the trust, but the 24 -year -old Czech did not have his nerves under control and failed decisively. Hradecky was much safer.
Intensive duel in the Champions League
“It is not so much about tactics today. It’s about the heart today,” Alonso said before the game at Amazon Prime. “We have nothing to lose, we have everything to win. The pressure is with Bayern.”
Leverkusen started determined and with hardness. The first actions by Jonathan Tah and Aleix Garcia remained unpunished, instead two Munichers saw yellow early: Kingsley Coman and Konrad Laimer had to go to the rest of the fight with this mortgage. And Bayer also got the opportunity for early leadership, but the ball played the beauty of Arthur freely played by EXECIL Palacios at the crucial moment.
No banter
Even if Leverkusen tried to take over the game control, Bayern set more dangerous needles. After a quarter of an hour, Kane checked Hradecky and Michael Olise just a few moments later. The first fragrance brands on both sides were set, there was none.
Intensive and with Bayern advantages, but without large goal area scenes it continued. Already in the 38th minute there was the next setback for Leverkusen. Mario Hermoso had to go down with a shoulder injury, but international Robert Andrich moved into the central defense alongside Tah.
Harry Kane meets after the break
After the change of sides, it was a goalkeeper that finally pulled the plug to the game. The Englishman, who had already hit twice in the first leg the previous week, fell in front of his feet after a free kick and Kane literally pushed it over the line. It was also the captain of the English national team who quickly put the second goal.
Nobody believed in the miracle in the Bayarena fully occupied with 30,210 spectators. In the final phase, the latte and post even prevented a debacle for the workself with two shots from Jamal Musiala.
