Bayern 4-1 Atalanta (agg 10-2): Kane reaches 50 UCL goals with double

Harry Kane reached a half-century of Champions League goals as Bayern Munich beat Atalanta to progress to the quarter-finals.

Match Report

The England captain started the game on 48 but a first-half penalty and a brilliant second-half strike moved him on to 50.

Kane reached the landmark in 66 games – the same number it took Lionel Messi and 25 fewer than Cristiano Ronaldo.

Manchester City's Erling Haaland holds the record for reaching 50 the quickest, having got there in 49 games.

Bayern were as good as already through before Wednesday's second leg after winning 6-1 in Italy, but they once again recorded a high-scoring win as they set up a last-eight clash with Real Madrid.

The opener came in the 25th minute when Bayern were awarded a penalty following a review by the video assistant referee, with Giorgio Scalvini blocking Kane's shot with his arm.

The Bayern striker stepped up and, although his effort was saved, the referee ordered a retake after goalkeeper Marco Sportiello came off his line early.

Kane made no mistake at the second time of asking, hammering home emphatically as Sportiello dived the wrong way.

That was the 14th penalty Kane had scored this season in all competitions and took his overall tally to 46 goals this season.

Kane then got his second of the night and 50th in the competition with a brilliant strike, somehow arrowing a brilliant effort into the roof of the net.

Kane was already the highest-scoring Englishman in the competition's history.

Bayern then scored a third goal on the night through teenager Lennart Karl when the 18-year-old fired in from Luis Diaz's pass.

Diaz then rounded off the scoring for Bayern when he clipped the ball over the goalkeeper after a quick break, before Lazar Samardzic nodded in a late consolation for the visitors.
