Bundesliga champions, Bayern Munich blazed through Chelsea in the UEFA Champions league to enter the quarterfinals after beating Frank Lampard's men 4-1 on Saturday night, to put an end to the London club's UEFA misery.

 

 

Bayern had already won Chelsea 3-0 in the first leg before the Coronavirus lockdown and just had little to do in order to qualify.

 

In the first 20 minutes of the game Chelsea hardly had a kick as Bayern toyed with them and by the 24th minute it was already 2-0 in Bayern's favor.

 

 

At the 44th minute, Bayern goalkeeper, Manuel Neuer parried away an Emerson low cross very poorly which allowed Tammy Abraham to tap in from close range to end the first half 2-1.

 

Lampard couldn't do much coaching with his team who were already decimated by a raft of injuries caused by a gruelling premier league finale.

By the 90th minute, he watched his beloved team ship in two more goals to end the match 4-1.

 

Bayern have now qualified for the next stage of the competition. Full score ; Bayern 4-1 Chelsea (7-1 aggregate)
