FC Bayern Munich has one leg in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. In the round of 16 first leg, the record champion was particularly convincing in the second half and won 3-0 (0-0) at Chelsea.

Müller: “The knockout games are the salt in the soup”
Serge Gnabry was satisfied after the game on pay-TV channel “Sky”: “I think we put a lot of pressure and made good use of our switching moments. The Champions League seems to be something special for me,” said the winger already scored four goals in the 7-2 success in London at Tottenham Hotspurs.
Thomas Müller also praised the appearance of his team: “The knockout games are the salt in the soup. We made an excellent away game,” said the offensive player at “Sky”. “It was an intense game, the adrenaline is still there. But it is an absolutely deserved 3-0. The team performance was pretty good and I am glad that we were able to convert it into goals in the second half.”
With the clear victory, Munich now have an excellent starting position for the second leg on March 18 in the Allianz Arena. At the weekend the Munich go to TSG Hoffenheim on Saturday (3.30 p.m.).
