Kane바카라�s 32nd and 33rd goals this season for Bayern ensured the Bavarian powerhouse recovered from losing the first leg of the last 16 tie 1-0 in Rome to win 3-1 on aggregate over two legs. 바카라�A perfect night for us,바카라� said Kane, the man of the match.

The win will ease the pressure on Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel, whose premature departure at the end of the season was announced by Bayern after the team바카라�s three-game losing run 바카라� including the defeat in Rome. Bayern바카라�s new sporting director Max Eberl said before Tuesday바카라�s game that Tuchel would remain in charge afterward even if the team lost, but there had been a feeling defeat would bring forward the coach바카라�s exit.

Bayern, which is 10 points behind Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga, was facing the prospect of just its second elimination in 12 appearances at this stage of the Champions League. 바카라�If we had been eliminated today, it would have been more than unfortunate,바카라� Bayern president Herbert Hainer said.

Kane broke the deadlock in the 38th minute after Ciro Immobile had gone close for Lazio at the other end. Thomas Müller headed Aleksandar Pavlović바카라�s cross back for Raphaël Guerreiro to mis-hit it, and Kane threw himself at the ball to just head it past Ivan Provedel in the Lazio goal.

There was still time before the break for Müller to score in first-half stoppage time with a glancing header to Matthijs de Ligt바카라�s shot after a corner. Kane sealed the result in the 66th by firing in the rebound after Leroy Sané drew a save from Provedel. It was the England captain바카라�s sixth Champions League goal this season.

The 19-year-old Pavlović kept Bayern ticking from midfield with probing passes and measured play, while Joshua Kimmich dropped back to right back to help ease the team바카라�s injury-hit defense. Sané had recovered enough to start after a knee problem kept him from playing in the 2-2 draw with Freiburg over the weekend.

Bayern forward Serge Gnabry entered in the last minute for his first appearance since December as he made his comeback from a thigh injury. Bayern바카라�s Club No. 12 fan group organized an impressive choreography before the game to show Munich바카라�s heraldic figure over a banner saying 바카라�In the name of the city.바카라�

One Italian supporter among around 100 Lazio fans who sang fascist songs in the beer hall where Adolf Hitler founded the Nazi party was arrested for giving a Hitler salute the night before.
