Thus, he became the first-ever English player to score 10 goals in a single European Cup/UEFA Champions League campaign.
Also, he is the second Englishman with 50+ goals and assists combined in Champions League history (39 goals, 11 assists), along with David Beckham (16 goals, 36 assists).
Vincent Kompany’s men won the first leg 3-0 at the Allianz Arena, and with their two-goal lead in Leverkusen, they have effectively secured a spot in the competition’s quarter-finals.
Since their 3-0 defeat to Feyenoord in January, Bayern Munich have remained unbeaten in their last five matches, with four wins and one draw.
