BERLIN: Robert Lewandowski converted a late penalty as Bayern Munich rebounded from their Champions League defeat to beat Augsburg 1-0 on Saturday and take another step toward a record-extending 10th consecutive title. It was Lewandowski’s 32nd league goal in 29 matches this season and saw Bayern move nine points clear of second-placed Borussia Dortmund. The two teams meet in Munich on April 23.
Bayern Munich needed an 82nd-minute penalty from top scorer Robert Lewandowski to snatch a 1-0 victory over visitors Augsburg on Saturday and protect their nine-point lead with five matches remaining. Lewandowski converted the spot kick awarded for a hand ball, breaking Augsburg's valiant resistance, to keep Bayern comfortably clear of second-placed Borussia Dortmund, winners 2-0 over VfB Stuttgart on Friday, and on course for a record-extending 10th straight league crown. Bayern, who suffered their first Champions League loss of the season in midweek, going down 1-0 to Villarreal in the quarter-final first leg, were toothless for much of the game.
VILLARREAL, Spain : Bayern Munich's disappointment at their Champions League loss to Villarreal was tempered by a sense of relief that they escaped with just a 1-0 defeat in Wednesday's quarter-final first leg.
VILLARREAL, Spain : Bayern Munich's disappointment at their Champions League loss to Villarreal was tempered by a sense of relief that they escaped with just a 1-0 defeat in Wednesday's quarter-final first leg.
Minnows Villarreal face Bayern Munich in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final tie at the Estadio de la Ceramica on Thursday. Having already pulled off an upset against Juventus in the Round of 16, Villarreal will seek another memorable European escape against six-time Champions League winners Bayern Munich, who shrugged off RB Salzburg in the previous round. Interestingly, Bayern will be without three key players for the first leg -- Joshua Kimmich, Alfonso Davies and Corentin Tolisso, who is also likely to miss the second leg after a suffering a muscle tear.
It’s quarter-final time in Europe’s most elite club competition and there really is nothing like it once we reach this point.
