Argentine steers Barca past Napoli as Spanish set up quarterfinal clash
Barcelona, Sunday
Robert Lewandowski scored a brace as Bayern Munich hammered Chelsea 4-1 at home on Saturday to progress to the Champions League last eight 7-1 on aggregate.
The German champions, who have won 18 straight games since February and haven’t lost since December, will face Spanish giants Barcelona, who defeated Napoli 3-1 in Saturday’s other game to advance 4-2 on aggregate.
Bayern went into the game with a 3-0 lead from the first leg at Stamford Bridge back in February.
The Polish striker quickly made it 5-0 as he converted a penalty in the 10th minute and then set up Ivan Perisic’s second in the 24th.
It was Lewandowski’s 12th goal in the Champions League in this disrupted season, and he didn’t wait too long for his 13th.
The goal machine headed home in the closing period of the game to finalize it 4-1.
The 31-year-old lethal striker, who has scored 53 goals in 44 appearances in all competitions this season, now has a good chance to challenge Cristiano Ronaldo’s Champions League record of 17 goals in a single season.
“We wanted to win the game and show we were picking up where we left off,” Bayern coach Hansi Flick told Sky after the match.
“As with any opponent, we have the requisite respect, and we’re going to prepare well,” the German coach said when talking about quarterfinals rivals Barcelona.
