Bayern Munich's Harry Kane scored one goal and set up another as his side beat hosts Bayer Leverkusen 2-0 in the UEFA Champions League last-16 second leg on Tuesday (Mar 11) to advance with a 5-0 aggregate win to the last eight where they face Inter Milan next month. Kane, who netted twice in last week's 3-0 first leg win, tapped home from close range in the 52nd minute for a 10th Champions League goal that made him the first English player to score 10 times in a single European Cup season.
Harry Kane made history as Bayern Munich confirmed their place in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals with victory against Bayer Leverkusen. The striker's close-range finish in the 52nd minute was his 10th in Europe this season, more than any other English player has scored in a single campaign in the competition's history.
Bayern came into the second-leg tie with a 3-0 lead following a commanding performance at home last week, and were again the better side in Leverkusen.
Vincent Kompany's side posed the greater threat in the first half, with Michael Olise and Kingsley Coman both firing narrowly wide.
Leverkusen needed to come out and attack after the break, but it was Bayern who put the tie beyond doubt when Patrik Schick's attempted clearance of a Joshua Kimmich free-kick fell straight at the feet of Kane who bundled home from a few yards out.
With their star man Florian Wirtz ruled out with an ankle ligament injury, the hosts lacked invention and impact in the attacking third.
Xabi Alonso's side were looking to become only the fifth side in Champions League history to overturn a three-goal first leg deficit, yet it took them 65 minutes to register a shot on target.
Jeremie Frimpong forced Bayern goalkeeper Jonas Urbig into a smart low stop, before Schick headed straight at the visiting stopper moments later.
Leverkusen's desperation left more space for Bayern to exploit and Alphonso Davies took full advantage by converting Kane's cross from close range in the 71st minute.
The England captain then spurned a good chance to add a third when he placed wide under little pressure, before he rattled the crossbar with a snap-shot on the turn. Jamal Musiala also struck the post from a tight angle with 10 minutes left after being sent away by Serge Gnabry's pass.
Bayern will face Inter Milan in the quarter-finals after the Serie A champions defeated Feyenoord. The first leg will take place on 7/8 April with the second leg a week later.
