Bayern Scale Through To Quarter-Final Despite Juventus Early Lead


Bayern Munich are through to the quarter-final of the UEFA Champions league after defeating Juventus 4-2 in a match that was played for 120 minutes.

Paul Pogba and Juan Cuadrado put Juventus in the lead by two goals  in the first half, putting the host under serious pressure to turn the game around before home crowd.

Robert Lewandowski's header gave Bayern hope in the second half and brought life back to the stadium, Juve relaxed, and felt the game would probably end 1-2 until in their favour, Muller's 91 minutes header took the game into extra time.

Thiago Alcantara and Kingley Coman were introduced in the second half and both players made the difference by scoring the two goals of the extra time making Bayern to win 4-2 after extra time, and 6-4 on aggregate.

This is the first time Juventus will concede four goals in a single match since 2013 when it happened against Fiorentina.
