INTER-FEYENOORD 2-1 (total 4-1)
Another victory and official passage to the quarterfinals. Inter continues its march, defeating Feyenoord again thanks to goals from Thuram and Calhanoglu (in the middle, Moder's equalizer from the penalty spot), and now hosts Bayern Munich in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, a team that also won against Leverkusen.
Inter secured a place in the Champions League quarter-finals by defeating Feyenoord 2-1 in the second leg of the round of 16, confirming their first victory in Rotterdam. Coach Inzaghi's team took the lead in the 8th minute with a powerful shot by Thuram at the crossbar, while they were very close to a second goal with Taremi. Before the break, Van Persie's team equalized through Moder, who won and converted a penalty. But, at the beginning of the second half, Inter regained the lead from the penalty spot with Calhanoglu. Now, the neroli prepare for the double challenge against Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals.
BAYER LEVERKUSEN-BAYERN MONACO 0-2 (total 0-5)
There was no history at the BayArena, where Leverkusen failed to turn the tables: Bayern won 2-0 and secured a place in the quarter-finals. The Aspirins, who were playing without Florian Wirtz, needed a miracle to overturn the result. Xabi Alonso and his team tried, but were helpless for most of the game and even took risks: Hradecky saved Kane's goal, while Oliseh twice shot wide with a narrow margin.
Leverkusen lost Hermoso to a shoulder injury and had their best chance in the 42nd minute, when Schick was close to a goal that would have brought him back into the game. However, in the second half, Bayern proved more dangerous and scored the goal that sealed qualification: the scorer was, of course, Harry Kane in the 52nd minute. The Bavarians continued to threaten and came close to a second goal through Coman, who was then forced off due to injury, making way for Gnabry for the final half hour of the game.
Leverkusen tried with Frimpong and Boniface, but Urbig denied them the goal. On the other hand, Bayern was ruthless in counterattacks. Thus came the second goal in the 71st minute, with a fantastic assist from Harry Kane, while Davies made no mistake in front of the goal. In the last minutes, Musiala hit the post twice, while Urbig made a great save from Palacios, but the game was already over. Bayern Munich triumphed 2-0 and now prepares for the duel against Inter in the quarterfinals.
