In a match that felt more like a Bayern Munich highlight reel than a competitive Champions League tie, the Bavarians sealed a 2-0 win (5-0 aggregate) over Bayer Leverkusen to march into the quarterfinals. Harry Kane’s poacher instincts and Alphonso Davies’ ”I’m faster than your Wi-Fi” goal left Leverkusen wondering, “Why did we even show up?” Let’s break it down!
Harry Kane: The Man Who Can’t Stop Scoring
Harry Kane’s season motto? “Why score one when you can score all?” The English striker pounced on a Joshua Kimmich free-kick in the 52nd minute, slotting it home like he was playing FIFA on Amateur mode. With 5 goals in 2 games against Leverkusen, Kane’s now the Bundesliga’s boogeyman.
Leverkusen’s defense tried to mark him, but Kane’s like a ghost—always there when you least expect him. Even Leverkusen’s captain Hradecky could only sigh as the ball hit the net.
Alphonso Davies: Speed Demon with a Killer Finish
If Kane’s the brains, Davies is the jet engine. In the 71st minute, the Canadian left-back turned into a right-winger, cutting inside and curling a beauty into the top corner. Leverkusen’s defenders? Still catching their breath.
Davies’ goal wasn’t just a highlight—it was a mic drop. Leverkusen’s hopes of a comeback? Officially buried.
Leverkusen’s Wirtz-less Woes
Without Florian Wirtz (injured), Leverkusen looked like a band missing its lead singer. Patrik Schick tried his best, but Bayern’s defense treated him like an uninvited guest at a party.
Leverkusen’s only real chances came from Frimpong and Schick, but Bayern’s backup keeper Urbig (filling in for Neuer) was having none of it. Two crucial saves kept Leverkusen’s tally at zero.
Bayern’s Finale dahoam Dream Lives On
With this win, Bayern are one step closer to their dream: the Champions League final in Munich (Finale dahoam). Their dominance over two legs (5-0 aggregate) sends a clear message: Don’t mess with the Bavarians.
Musiala hit the post twice, proving even Bayern’s near-misses are dangerous. Leverkusen? They’re left licking their wounds and wondering if they’ll ever beat Bayern again.
FAQs: Because You’re Wondering…
No Wirtz, no party. Plus, Bayern’s defense was tighter than a jar of pickles.

Back to the Bundesliga, where they’ll try to forget this Bayern nightmare.
Conclusion: Bayern’s Masterclass & Leverkusen’s Reality Check
Bayern Munich didn’t just beat Leverkusen—they humiliated them. Kane’s clinical finishing, Davies’ speed, and Musiala’s creativity proved why Bayern are Germany’s undisputed kings.
For Leverkusen, it’s back to the drawing board. For Bayern? The Finale dahoam dream is alive and kicking. Next stop: the quarterfinals. Leverkusen who? 🔴⚪
