Harry Kane was the standout performer, scoring in the 52nd minute and assisting Alphonso Davies in the 71st minute. Kane’s strike made him the first English player to score 10 goals in a single European Cup season. Leverkusen, without Florian Wirtz, failed to threaten Bayern, registering their first shot on target after an hour. The German champions will now face Inter Milan in the quarter-finals.
