Bayern Munich have advanced to the quarter-finals of the Champions League after beating Chelsea on Saturday. Bayern Munich won the second leg, 4-1, with Robert Lewandowski scoring twice. The Bundesliga winners entered the second leg with a 3-0 advantage, ending up with a 7-1 aggregate edge over their Premier League opponent.
The German side were able to capitalize early on in their first leg moment when Lewandowski, the leading scorer of the competition, earned a penalty kick in the 10th minute and converted the attempt. Bayern added goals through with Ivan Perisic scoring in the 24th minute, and Corentin Tolisso adding to the bench’s scoreline fresh off the bench in the 76th minute. Lewandowski scored the 13th goal from home in the 84th minute at home.
Bayern will face Barcelona in the quarter-finals.
Chelsea were without several starters for this match, including star striker Christian Pulisic and suspended players Marcos Alonso and César Azpilicueta, and had to manage an already large goal deficit.
Manager Frank Lampard was able to use N’Golo Kante and made the dubious choice to keep him in the dry. Lampard made just one sub in the entire 81st minute, which came in the 81st minute when Olivier Giroud came on for the English side’s only goal scorer, Tammy Abraham.
