"Harry Kane has now scored 50 goals in 66 UEFA Champions League appearances - only Erling Haaland (49) and Ruud van Nistelrooy (62) have ever reached 50 goals in fewer games. Kane accounted for 1 of Bayern's 3.61 expected goals (xG), which they produced."
"After a penalty was awarded against Giorgio Scalvini for handball, Sportiello initially saved Kane's spot kick. However, the Atalanta goalkeeper was off his line before Kane's attempt from 12 yards, and the former Tottenham man made no mistake with his retake."
"That goal in the 54th minute seemed to open the floodgates, and Karl curled past Sportiello from Diaz's lay-off soon after, before the teenager returned the favour by playing the Colombian through on goal in the 70th minute for a dinked finish."
Bayern Munich secured a dominant 4-1 victory over Atalanta in the Champions League last 16 second leg, achieving a 10-2 aggregate triumph. Harry Kane, captaining Bayern, reached his 50th Champions League goal with a brace, joining an elite group of strikers to achieve this milestone in fewer than 62 appearances. Kane's first goal came from a retaken penalty after Atalanta goalkeeper Marco Sportiello was off his line. Lennart Karl and Luis Diaz added further goals to seal Bayern's progression. Atalanta's Lazar Samardzic scored a consolation goal. Bayern will face Real Madrid in the quarter-finals.
