Bayern shines with a big win: 3-0 against Leverkusen in the CL duel!
On Tuesday evening, football fans trembled in the Allianz Arena as FC Bayern Munich hosted the Werkself from Leverkusen in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16. In front of 75,000 enthusiastic spectators, Bayern started the game brilliantly: after just nine minutes, star striker Harry Kane headed the score 1-0 after a precise cross from Michael Olise. But Leverkusen, who were unbeaten in their last matches against Bayern, were unable to stabilize and showed weaknesses in defense. In the 54th minute, Jamal Musiala took advantage of a Kimmich cross that bounced off goalkeeper Matej Kovar in front of him, increasing Bayern's lead to 2-0.
However, the game was also marked by a bitter blow of fate for Bayern: captain Manuel Neuer had to leave the field injured, and 21-year-old Jonas Urbig celebrated his debut in the Champions League. Leverkusen, led by coach Xabi Alonso, struggled after this decision. After a repeated foul by Nordi Mukiele, he was shown a yellow-red card. Finally, a handball by Edmond Tapsoba in the penalty area finally put the game in Bayern's favor when Harry Kane converted the penalty to make it 3-0. This result will be crucial for the second leg on March 11th as Bayern can travel to the Rhine with a comfortable lead bayer04.de reported.
