The Munich residents made short work of the Londoners. Bayern Munich crushed Tuesday February 25 Chelsea at Stamford Bridge with the score of 3-0 in the knockout stages of the Champions League.

The Bavarians took the upper hand in the second half. On a center by Robert Lewandowski, Serge Gnabry opened the scoring in the 51st minute. The striker reoffended three minutes later, still served by his Polish teammate, with a left cross strike in the area. It was finally Robert Lewandowski who worsened the score in the 76th minute on a cross from Alphonso Davies. With this wide success, the German club is well on its way to qualify for the quarter-finals.

In the other meeting of the evening, Naples and Barça failed to decide (1-1) at San Paolo. The Neapolitans had taken the match in hand thanks to a goal by Dries Mertens in the 30th minute, but the Barcelonians managed to equalize in the second period in the 57th minute with a goal signed Antoine Griezmann in strength of the right foot. The Catalans ended the game at ten after the expulsion of Arturo Vidal, who will miss the return match.

The Belgian Mertens scored his 121st goal with Naples in all competitions. He became the top scorer in club history, tied with Marek Hamsik.
