Champions League results: Harry Kane leads Bayern Munich into the Round of 16; Liverpool, Chelsea, Newcastle all win

Bayern Munich joined Arsenal in the Champions League Round of 16 with a 2-0 victory over Belgian side Union St.-Gilloise.

Harry Kane — who else? — netted a brace in a three-minute span early in the second half and the German side, despite going down to 10 men following Kim Min-Jae’s 63rd-minute dismissal after a second yellow card, cruised to a win and is now 6-0-1 and in second place in the table.

Three points behind Bayern Munich sits Liverpool, which handled Marseille 2-0 at Stade Vélodrome. Dominik Szoboszlai opened the scoring in first-half stoppage time with an under-the-wall free kick before Jeremie Frimpong forced a 72nd-minute own-goal to wrap up the points.

It was a good Wednesday for the Premier League sides as Newcastle and Chelsea joined Liverpool as Matchday 7 winners.

The Magpies dispatched PSV 3-0 with goals from Yoane Wissa, Anthony Gordon and Harvey Barnes. They will now advance to at least the knockout playoff round, but could secure an automatic Round of 16 place if next week’s results go their way.

Chelsea, meanwhile, needed a Moises Caicedo header in the 78th minute to finally breakthrough against Pafos for a 1-0 victory.

It was a tricky first half for Barcelona during their 4-2 win over Slavia Prague. Fermin López is up to five Champions League goals this season after a brace, but a Robert Lewandowski 44th-minute own-goal saw the game even after 45 minutes.

As Barça were just getting over Pedri exiting the match with a hamstring issue, his replacement, Dani Olmo, scored in the 63rd minute to put them up for good.

Lewandowski would put one in the opponent’s net seven minutes later to extend Barcelona’s lead to 4-2. He now has 106 career Champions League goals and trails only Cristiano Ronaldo (140) and Lionel Messi (129) all time.

Elsewhere, Nico Serrano and Robert Navarro scored four minutes in the second half apart to help Athletic Club top Atalanta 3-2; USMNT midfielder Weston McKennie scored for the third straight UCL match as Juventus blanked Benfica 2-0; Camilo Durán and Bahlul Mustafazada scored in the 80th and 94th minutes as Qarabağ beat Entracht Frankfurt 3-2; Galatasaray and Atlético Madrid had to settle for a 1-1 draw after Marcos Llorente’s 20th minute own goal erased Atleti’s early lead.
