Matthijs de Ligt and Thomas Muller combined to give Bayern Munich a crucial lead before Thomas Tuchel’s squad emerged victorious from Tuesday’s last-16 clash against Lazio with a 3-0 win.

Trailing 1-0 after the first leg, Harry Kane brought Bayern level early in the first half before De Ligt’s volley on target was headed in by Muller from close range right before halftime.

Bellingham set up the 65th-minute goal after finding Vinicius with a perfect through ball into the Leipzig box, teeing up the Brazilian for an uncontested strike into the top corner.

Willi Orban scored for Leipzig three minutes later to make things interesting, but Carlo Ancelotti’s men held on to progress despite struggling against an inspired opponent.

“We played badly, with little intensity, with worries … the psychological aspect conditioned our game a lot,” Ancelotti said.

“We played against an opponent with quality, who had nothing to lose, and we had the brakes on from start to finish – we suffered, but the important thing was to get to the quarterfinals.”

It’s the fourth season in a row that Madrid have reached the quarterfinals.

Last season, they beat Chelsea in the quarters before getting knocked out in the semifinals by eventual winners Manchester City, who also sealed a quarterfinal berth Wednesday.

There was no chance of Luis Enrique substituting Kylian Mbappe at halftime of Tuesday’s Champions League encounter.

Mbappe extinguished Real Sociedad’s hopes of a second-leg comeback in the round of 16 with two excellent goals in northern Spain, leading Paris Saint-Germain to a 2-1 win and 4-1 victory across the two fixtures. The forward appeared unburdened by reported tension with his head coach since his minutes were slashed ahead of an expected summer switch to Real Madrid.

After an aggressive and daring start from the hosts, Mbappe put PSG in full control after he sprinted after a pass, eked open space with some speedy footwork, and forced repairs to the net after firing in from an acute angle.

For his second goal, Mbappe hung off the last man to stay onside before latching on to Lee Kang-in’s lofted pass. He ran with the ball and shaped his body to pick out the far corner before slotting home at Alex Remiro’s near post.

“I don’t have any message in particular. I just always want to play in the Champions League. It is a very important competition,” Mbappe told Canal Plus post-match.

“I try to always perform. Sometimes that happens and sometimes it doesn’t, but I will never be a player who hides.”

Mikel Merino scored a late consolation for Real Sociedad.

Overall, it was a straightforward progression to the quarterfinals for Paris Saint-Germain – not something you’d usually associate with the serial Ligue 1 winners. And perhaps most promising of all, PSG advanced with the youngest starting XI (23 years and 361 days) that they’d ever fielded in the competition.
