Harry Kane netted two goals to propel Bayern Munich past Lazio, overturning a first-leg deficit and securing a spot in the Champions League quarter-finals.
Trailing 1-0 after the initial leg in Rome, Bayern initially faced a challenging night until Kane’s header equalized the aggregate score. Thomas Muller, a stalwart in the team, extended the lead with another well-timed header after powerful shot by De Light at the brink of half time.
Kane further solidified Bayern’s position, making it 3-1 on aggregate with a close-range finish after Leroy Sane’s shot was deflected into his path.
This victory showcases a remarkable comeback for Bayern, who have encountered significant disappointments in domestic competitions this season. The win also preserves Thomas Tuchel’s aspirations of guiding Bayern to a seventh European title before his departure at the season’s end, preventing a potential first season without a major trophy since 2011-12 for the club.
