Harry Kane's clinical performance propelled Bayern

Harry Kane's clinical performance propelled Bayern Munich to a resounding 3-0 victory over Lazio, securing their spot in the Champions League quarter-finals with a 3-1 aggregate triumph. Bayern showcased their resilience after initially trailing, with Kane's brace leading the charge against the Italian side.

In a tense encounter, Lazio threatened early on but squandered opportunities ultimately proved costly. Ciro Immobile's missed header paved the way for Kane's first goal, a well-timed header that levelled the tie. Thomas Muller extended Bayern's lead before halftime, redirecting Matthijs de Ligt's powerful volley into the net.

Kane sealed the win in the second half with a composed finish, extinguishing any hopes of a Lazio comeback. The victory not only sees Bayern extend their impressive record of reaching the Champions League quarter-finals but also alleviates pressure on manager Thomas Tuchel amid rumours of his imminent departure.

While Bayern's triumph showcased individual brilliance, notably from Kane and Muller, it also underscored the team's enduring quality. Despite recent setbacks, Bayern's performance serves as a stark reminder of their formidable presence in European football.

As Bayern progresses to the next stage of the competition, they reaffirm their status as a force to be reckoned with, dispelling any doubts about their ability to compete at the highest level.
