Bayern demolishes Arsenal while Madrid cruise through

Hello Dassyb's blog readers and football fans. Hope you are all good? two matches kicked off the second leg of round of 16 UEFA champions league matches with a repetition of first leg results being recorded.

Bayern Munich and Real Madrid took care of business on Tuesday, becoming the first two teams to qualify for the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League with wins over Arsenal and Napoli, respectively.

Both teams struggled in the first half but turned up the jets after the break, replicating the scorelines from the first legs. For Bayern, that meant a monstrous 10-2 aggregate win over the Gunners, while Real had to settle for a 6-2 aggregate score.

Here's a look at Tuesday's results:

Arsenal 1-5 Bayern Munich (agg 2-10)

Napoli 1-3 Real Madrid (agg 2-6)

Devastated gunners

A debated decision in the 53rd minute shattered any hopes of the Gunners becoming the first side in Champions League history to overturn a four-goal deficit, having also lost the first leg in Germany 5-1.
They led through Theo Walcott's stunning 20th-minute goal, before Bayern were awarded a penalty that also resulted in the sending off of defender Laurent Koscielny. The France centre-back was initially shown a yellow card by referee Anastasios Sidiropoulos for his foul on Robert Lewandowski inside the area - but it was upgraded to a red once he decided Koscielny made no attempt to win the ball.
Lewandowski placed his spot-kick beyond the reach of David Ospina to give Bayern a 6-2 aggregate lead and effectively kill off the tie. The home side then folded as Bayern scored four goals in 17 minutes. Arjen Robben robbed Alexis Sanchez of the ball and beat Ospina, before Douglas Costa made it 3-1 with a stunning solo goal. Fellow midfielder Arturo Vidal grabbed a late double, first with an impudent chip before slotting in from Costa's square pass.

 

Bayern Munich celebrates scoring one of their goals

Real Madrid’s captain fantastic Sergio Ramos headed Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals with two goals in six second half minutes. Madrid were given a first-half scare by Napoli who dominated and took the lead through Dries Mertens but the second period was a very different story.

 

Zinedine Zidane’s team had forced only one corner in the first half but they won two at the start of the second 45 minutes and Ramos rose to head home both Toni Kroos kicks, the second via a huge deflection off Dries Mertens that was given by UEFA as an away goal.
