00:00Here they come.
00:09So familiar to us and to each other.
00:13But played only the dying embers of the first leg in Munich.
00:20Where Bayern totally dominated a Leverkusen side which many believed had Bayern's measure.
00:26And last week those people were wrong.
00:30Leverkusen will have to be the dominant force in this game, otherwise their Champions League
00:35adventure will be over.
00:37Both these sides, by the way, lost in the Bundesliga at the weekend.
00:41That doesn't happen very often.
00:46As Stuart, it's hard to make a case for Bayern Leverkusen unless they score first in this
00:55tie.
00:56It doesn't matter if it's the first half, it could be maybe an hour in, but they have
00:59to score first.
01:00Well, they have to play as they did here four weeks ago when they played in the Bundesliga.
01:04It was a nil-nil draw, but they totally dominated the game.
01:07They pressed the ball high up the field, they're going to have to do the same again here.
01:14So off we go in the second leg of this round of 16 Champions League tie in the Bayern Arena
01:20with home side Bayern Leverkusen kicking from left to right.
01:25Weimer back to Ulise, Musiala's made a little run and Ulise found a way to get it to him.
01:30Lovely feet from Jamal Musiala.
01:32This is dangerous, Kane is sniffing and it's just pushed out by Hrodetsky.
01:39Might suit Grimaldo, but Alex Garcia's also interested in this.
01:43It is Grimaldo on his left foot, it did, but much too late.
01:49Kampier with the throw in, it's worked away to Yonatan Tarr.
01:55And that's a nice ball, Artur, into the box and just mishit.
02:00So at times they will play with a back three, in the main it's a back four.
02:05And that's Crossfield, ball by Granit Xhaka is cut out and Harry Kane advances here for Bayern Munich.
02:11It's a good save, Ulise to the loose ball, clipped back into the area, doesn't find Musiala.
02:17Here's the chance again, that ball you were talking about from Granit Xhaka wasn't a good one.
02:25Could he have laid it into Gretzky?
02:30Here is Kane.
02:34Ulise, Leimer overlapping, Ulise using that to cut inside and get a shot away.
02:39Which is a metre or more wide of...
02:44...Kimmich.
02:46A bit deeper from Kimmich, headed away by Granit Xhaka this time, back in by Davies.
02:50Koeman on the turn, it's wide.
02:52Just a bit off, but not sure.
02:56The ball was played back and he was on the side.
02:58It was a good turn as well, just couldn't wrap his foot round it.
03:04Just hit it quite nicely, but never actually hit his heel of his standing foot.
03:10That's what made it more difficult for him.
03:12Davies to get a foot in.
03:15Ulise on, and Mosso, Granit Xhaka's curling ball was a good one.
03:19Patrik Szyg was stretching forward for McCarnough with it.
03:22Brilliant delivery, Granit Xhaka.
03:24Good movement as well from Szyg, just pulls off the back of McCarnough.
03:30He just can't get it back across, jumps early.
03:32It's a good effort, I would say.
03:37Certainly beats of McCarnough in the air.
03:39Capier.
03:41Alex Garcia with the corner kick.
03:44Near post, flicks, Agnetting.
03:46Throw in.
03:50Disappointingly from their point of view, straight on to the head of Davies
03:53and the referee blows his whistle and says that'll do for half-time.
03:57No, the Spanish side lost.
04:01So the second half is underway with Bayer Leverkusen kicking from McCarnough.
04:07So the second half is underway with Bayer Leverkusen kicking from right to left.
04:11Bayern Munich have made a change at half-time, Konrad Leimer.
04:17Well done, Ulise, who has kept it in.
04:20Ulise, cutting inside, deflected, corner.
04:26Free kick again to Bayern Munich.
04:28You just feel at the moment that they're exerting an element of control on this game
04:32as it goes around the back, and it's in the back of the net.
04:35It's Harry Kane who bundles it in
04:39and surely wins the tie for Bayern Munich.
04:44It's some terribly ill-judged defending
04:48because the ball possibly was creeping to safety
04:52and an outstretched boot, possibly that of Granit Xhaka, kept it in play.
05:00Kimmich and Koeman wasn't picked up
05:05and saved at the near post by Hrodenski.
05:08Good composure, good skill, trying to get that cross in earlier.
05:11He's already limping at this point.
05:13Yeah, actually, yeah.
05:15When the ball comes to him, he does really well.
05:17It's a threat to shoot.
05:18Shove it onto his left.
05:20Palacios, Frimpong.
05:27Frimpong, shot!
05:29Pushed around by Jonas Erving at the post.
05:31First attempt on target for Bayer Leverkusen in the game.
05:35It's going in at that near post.
05:37Good effort from Frimpong.
05:39Decent save by Erving.
05:42He's had his weight on the other side to start with, but got a cross well.
05:46Grimaldo, I don't think it was on target.
05:48It really should have been.
05:49It was blocked anyway.
05:50It's a big chance that.
05:55Frimpong's ball in and Erving somehow keeps it out.
05:59That's blocked it.
06:00Well, this is better from Bayer Leverkusen.
06:02A couple of good crosses into the box.
06:05It's a fairly free header for him.
06:09Should hit the corner, really.
06:11It's a decent save.
06:12He just about gets down in time.
06:15It's been a frustrating night for Bayer Leverkusen,
06:20who are facing here losing three consecutive matches.
06:26First leg of this one.
06:27Werder Bremen at home in the weekend.
06:29Cane Square.
06:30And they've certainly lost it now.
06:31They've certainly lost it now,
06:34because Alfonso Davies makes it 2-0 and 5-0 on aggregate.
06:42And Bayern Munich are heading into the quarterfinals
06:46of a Champions League competition.
06:51Campeo twice unable to really deal with that.
06:54Knabby plays a little one-two.
06:55That's beautifully played.
06:56Mousiala.
06:57Oh, and he's hit the woodwork.
06:59Grimaldo did well, slowed it down.
07:01Here's the move again.
07:02Good play.
07:03Gnabry.
07:04You can see he's onside.
07:06Slows down.
07:07Gunnarsson-Tarp.
07:09Hits it with real power.
07:10In at the near post.
07:12So unlucky.
07:13Andrik.
07:14Taking this quickly, Bayern.
07:16And they might be in here.
07:17Mousiala.
07:19Cuts inside.
07:20Still Mousiala.
07:21Hits the woodwork again.
07:23Can you believe it?
07:26Here's the chance again.
07:28Comes inside.
07:29The two challenges.
07:30A bit of room for himself.
07:31There's a bit of bend on the ball.
07:33But not quite enough.
07:37Here is Robert Andrik.
07:39Shooting chance.
07:40Palacios.
07:41Hits it well.
07:42Oh, what a very good save by Irving.
07:45Brilliant save.
07:46Good shot as well from Palacios.
07:49If he only goes with one hand,
07:50that would be good quality all around the field.
07:53Got two centre-halves at the moment
07:54are in really good form.
07:58Kimmich has run games
07:59on numerous occasions.
08:01They're a good side.
