Harry Kane scored in each half as Bayern Munich thumped Atalanta 4-1 at home in the Champions League last 16 on Wednesday, winning 10-2 on aggregate to book a quarter-final date with Real Madrid. Captaining Bayern in the Champions League for the first time, Kane converted a penalty with 25 minutes played and added another goal early in the second-half, bringing his career Champions League tally to 50 in 66 games. Lennart Karl and Luis Diaz also got on the scoresheet for the hosts as Bayern again steamrolled the visitors, who picked up a late consolation through Lazar Samardzic. Bayern last faced Real in the semifinals of the 2023-24 competition, crashing out to two Joselu goals in the dying minutes. Bayern have not beaten the Spanish giants since the semifinals of the 2011-12 competition. Few doubted Bayern would progress after their dominant 6-1 win in Bergamo – no team has ever overturned a five-goal deficit – but the Bundesliga leaders were forced to pick a weaker side on Wednesday due to injuries and suspensions.
