Liverpool drowned Bayern to enter the quarterfinals of the Champions League
Sports 247 – On a day when both offense and defense played explosively, Liverpool had a convincing victory over Bayern Munich to advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
The 0-0 result in the first leg caused Bayern and Liverpool to play very cautiously in the first half at Alianz Arena.
In the 26th minute, Van Dijk passed long across the line, eliminating the Bayern defense, allowing Mane to escape.
The match was unremarkable, but Bayern suddenly scored an equalizer in the 39th minute. From the right wing escape, Gnabry eliminated Robertson and then crossed inside and the ball accidentally hit Matip’s foot and changed direction.
Entering the second half, the game had almost no changes compared to the first 45 minutes.
Right now, Bayern is forced to push their team higher to score at least 2 more goals to have a chance to advance.
