Two stunning fixtures saw British sides on opposite sides of fortune as Chelsea were thrashed at home by Bayern Munich but Manchester City won at the Bernebeu on two nights of drama in the Champions League Round of 16.
Chelsea 0-3 Bayern Munich
A humbling experience at Stamford Bridge saw The Blues well beaten on the night by Bayern Munich as Serge Gnabry and Robert Lewandowski ran riot in Chelsea’s own backyard.
The first half was more of a tense affair that the second half would be, with both sides spurning chances to take the lead, Olivier Giroud and Thomas Muller coming close but failing to break the deadlock. After the break, however, the Germans run amok. Serge Gnabry’s opener after 51 minutes saw Chelsea cut through at the back, and his second, just three minutes later, was the death knell on the night. When Robert Lewandowski tapped in at the far post for a third, the tie had gone the same way, Chelsea now playing for pride in the second leg in Munich next time these sides meet.
