Bayern Munich 7-1 Salzburg Highlights: Champions League – Bayern reach the quarterfinals after trashing Salzburg 8-2 on aggregate with Lewandowski once again proving why he is the mostly deadliest striker in the world. After a lively start, Bayern took control of the match inside 13 first-half minutes. Two clumsy challenges from Wober handed Bayern two spot-kicks, which were dispatched by Lewandowski. The Pole then made it 3-0 when he raced onto Muller’s pass for his hat-trick. Nagelsmann’s men had time for a fourth before half-time, with Gnabry converting Coman’s pass.

Bayern Munich 7-1 Salzburg Highlights: Bayern score seven goals to reach the Champions League quarterfinals
After a disappointing display in the first leg, Bayern showcased their skills in a magnificent performance in front of their home fans. It sounds sarcastic to suggest that Nagelsmann’s side needs to tighten up at the back, but Salzburg did find space occasionally, and better teams will punish the German giants. For now, they will focus on the quarter-finals of the Champions League, while Salzburg will hope to learn their lessons after a memorable campaign in Europe.
Bayern Munich eased any concerns about their recent form by putting seven past Salzburg to emphatically book their place in the Champions League quarter-finals with an 8-2 aggregate win.
They took the lead when hat-trick hero Robert Lewandowski was fouled in the centre of the area and despite some attempts at gamesmanship to put him off, he calmly sent Köhn the wrong way from the spot and then did the same nine minutes later after he was brought down again.

Moments later, he completed a stunning 11-minute hat-trick when a big defensive mix-up saw him block a clearance onto the post before following up to tap in the rebound to move past Sébastien Haller as the season’s top scorer in the competition with 12.
Serge Gnabry got in on the act shortly after the half-hour mark with Bayern’s fourth, beating Köhn too easily with a central low effort and Thomas Müller made it five after the break with a precise low left-footed finish to see him surpass Thierry Henry for seventh in the competition’s all-time scorer rankings.
However, Salzburg did at least spoil Manuel Neuer’s return to the team with 20 minutes remaining when Maurits Kjaergaard blasted past the goalkeeper with a well-taken effort before Müller began his assault on the Champions League’s top six scorers with a close range finish. Leroy Sané then added a seventh by finishing off a free-flowing move with a sweet strike.
