Bayern's Harry Kane ends 4-game scoring drought with 2 goals vs Leverkusen

Harry Kane ended his four-game scoring drought on Wednesday as he helped Bayern Munich to a comfortable 3-0 win over German rival Bayer Leverkusen in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie. "We knew the hype around the game and we stayed calm and I stayed calm," Kane said. "Of course it was nice to score quite early in the game and then to get the second was, yeah, there to top it off. As always we look forward to the next one." Kane rewarded Bayern's good start with a header inside the left post in the ninth minute, beating Nordi Mukiele to reach Michael Olise's cross Kane showed his value by working hard, at one stage regaining possession in his own half after he'd lost the ball and launching a counterattack for Olise. He got his second goal from the penalty spot in the 75th. Edmond Tapsoba conceded the spot kick for holding Kane with both arms, and the England forward duly scored with his 30th successfully taken penalty in a row. Tapsoba had gone on as a substitut

Halftime screamer: PSG's Luis Campos rages at match referee in tunnel

Italian referee Davide Massa was screamed at by Paris Saint-Germain soccer adviser Luis Campos for not awarding a penalty during PSG's 1-0 defeat to Liverpool in the Champions League. Massa went to a red card check to decide if Ibrahima Konat had pushed PSG forward Bradley Barcola in the back in the 25th minute at Parc des Princes on Wednesday. But no foul was given and Konat stayed on. Match broadcaster Canal Plus showed images of a furious Campos shouting at Massa as he walked down the tunnel at halftime and berated him loudly. "It's a red card or penalty in every part of the world," he screamed at the top of his voice in English, repeating himself three times. Two years ago Campos came down onto the side of the field to complain about the refereeing during a French league game against Lille. PSG midfielder Vitinha did not blame the referee. "It's difficult to tell, I was far away so I couldn't see it," he said. "We're not going to hide behind that." Liverpool coach Arne Slot

Champions League: Liverpool get late win vs PSG; 10-man Barca beat Benfica

Harvey Elliott scored less than a minute after coming on as a late substitute to fire Liverpool to a stunning 1-0 win at Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16. Runaway Premier League leader Liverpool had survived a barrage of attacks at Parc des Princes to keep the score at 0-0 going into the final stages on Wednesday. Elliott was sent on to replace Mohamed Salah in the 86th minute and became an unlikely hero by sweeping a low shot into the corner of the net with his first touch of the match. "To go away with a win over here was probably a bit more than we deserved," Liverpool coach Arne Slot admitted after watching goalkeeper Alisson pull off a string of saves in a match dominated by PSG. Bayern Munich took a big step toward the quarterfinals with a 3-0 win against German champion Bayer Leverkusen and 10-man Barcelona beat Benfica 1-0. Inter Milan won 2-0 at Feyenoord. Alisson to the rescue ============= PSG's players will be left wondering h

Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer injures himself while celebrating a goal

Perhaps Manuel Neuer should stick to stopping goals. The Bayern Munich goalkeeper injured himself while celebrating a goal during his team's 3-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League on Wednesday. It led to the 21-year-old Jonas Urbig, a winter signing from Cologne, going on to make his Bayern debut. Neuer went off with what looked like a right ankle injury in the 58th minute, shortly after celebrating Jamal Musiala's goal Bayern's second on the night with a little jump near the halfway line. "It happens sometimes," Bayern coach Vincent Kompany said. "It's a pity for us, but we've always talked about the squad. that's how we've come so far, in the league and where we are, and that's how it's going to stay. If it's Urbig, it's Urbig and we're not going to worry about it." Urbig had little to do as Bayern maintained its dominance of the game. The visitors had Nordi Mukiele sent off with a second yellow card and Harry Kane made it 3-0 from the penalty spot to score his
