UEFA Champions League 2020, Bayern Munich vs Chelsea Highlights: Bayern Munich progressed to the quarter-final stage of the UEFA Champions League after defeating Chelsea 4-1 in the second leg of their tie, winning 7-1 on aggregate, at the Allianz Arena in Munich on Saturday.

Robert Lewandowski started the rout against a weakened Chelsea side in the 9th minute itself from the penalty spot. The Polish talisman then set up Ivan Perisic for Bayern’s second before Tammy Abraham offered the faintest of hope to the visitors with an away goal. In the second half, Chelsea were kept at bay easily as Bayern scored two — Corentin Tolisso with a volley and Lewandowski again, with a towering header.

Bayern, who will face Barcelona in their quarter-final next Friday, became the first team to start a UEFA Champions League campaign with eight consecutive wins in the competition’s current format, scoring 31 goals in the process.
