Bayern Munich head to Bayer Leverkusen tonight with one foot in the Champions League quarter-finals.
The German giants lead their domestic rivals 3-0 on aggregate, following an accomplished first-leg performance in Munich. Harry Kane scored twice in the first meeting, either side of Jamal Musiala’s goal for Bayern.
Vincent Kompany’s side continue to pursue success on two fronts. Currently eight points clear at the top of the Bundesliga, a shock defeat to Vfl Bochum went unpunished as second-placed Leverkusen also lost to Werder Bremen.
However, Kompany will be concerned by how his side surrendered a two-goal lead. Bayern were in control after Raphael Guerreiro’s brace but collapsed to lose 3-2 at the Allianz Arena, with Joao Palhinha sent off before half-time.
The Belgian will be determined to ensure there is no such defensive generosity in Leverkusen this evening.
