Harry Kane, the leading scorer for Bayern Munich, netted twice to guide the German team to a 3-0 victory over Italy's Lazio on Tuesday, securing a spot in the Champions League quarter-finals with a 3-1 aggregate win.
His goals came in the 38th and 66th minutes, equalizing Lazio's first-leg advantage and sealing the victory respectively, after Thomas Müller's first-half stoppage-time goal had put Bayern 2-0 ahead.
This triumph offers immediate relief for coach Thomas Tuchel and his squad, who had only managed one win in their last five matches across all competitions prior to this game, and are currently trailing by 10 points in the Bundesliga.
Reflecting on the match, Kane expressed satisfaction, highlighting the significance of the comeback and praising the team's performance, emphasizing the potential momentum it could bring to their season.
Despite Lazio's efforts to counterattack, Bayern dominated the game, with Kane capitalizing on opportunities and sealing the victory. With his goals, Kane's tally in the Champions League now stands at 27, just three shy of Wayne Rooney's record for the most goals by an Englishman in the competition.
The result maintains Bayern's strong record in the Champions League, as they have now reached at least the quarter-finals in 12 of the last 13 seasons.
