The Bavarians dominated Xabi Alonso’s men in the first leg.
Bayer Leverkusen are all set to battle Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League 2024-25 round of 16 second leg at home. Vincent Kompany’s men took a 3-0 lead in the first leg and defeated Xabi Alonso’s men after a long time. Bayern attacked early which helped them take the lead.
Bayer Leverkusen will be at home but making a comeback from here is going to be a big mountain to climb. They are down by three goals as they had a loose defence. Xabi Alonso’s men had a poor attacking rate as they only went on for three attempts and none of them went in. Leverkusen will be under so much pressure here
Bayern Munich will be away from home but they will be confident enough as they have a three-goal cushion and need to defend it here. Leverkusen have not won any of their last two games which Bayern can use to their advantage and go on to win in the second leg as well. Vincent Kompany’s men had a good attack rate with a tight defence.

Players to Watch
Harry Kane (Bayern Munich)
The English striker was on fire for Bayern Munich in the last UEFA Champions League match. Harry Kane went on to score a brace against Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen and helped his side to take the advantage. The Englishman will be the main man in the attacking front for Bayern this time as well. Kane is the goal scorer for Bayern in both Bundesliga and Champions League.
Alejandro Grimaldo (Bayer Leverkusen)
The Spaniard will have a major role to play. Many important players will not be a part of Levekusen’s squad due to injuries and Alejandro Grimaldo will have to step up to help his team stand a chance against Vincent Kompany’s Bayern Munich. Xabi Alonso’s men are already three-goal down and Grimaldo might help them make a comeback here.
