The first match of the 1/8 finals of the Champions League between Bayern Munich and Bayern Munich had a surprising course. The hosts were leading 1-0 after Junior Adam’s goal for most of the game. It was only in the 90th minute that Kingsley Coman scored the weight of the away draw.
Salah chases after Lewandowski
did not record a good performance. The captain of the Polish national team did not fire a single shot in this match, which obviously did not make it easier for him to improve his shooting achievements in the current edition. What’s more, the 33-year-old did not enter the list of shooters in the second consecutive match in this competition. Previously, it was in a 3-0 win against FC Barcelona.
A zero goal score in the match against Salzburg meant that Lewandowski, with nine goals on his account, is still second in the Champions League scorer’s classification. Sebastien Haller from Ajax Amsterdam scored one more goal. The Dutch team will not play their first match in the 1/8 final until next week.
The star must be on his guard because the rivals that are chasing him are not going to give up in the fight for the title of the king of shooters. In the second game on Wednesday he won away 2-0 against Inter Milan and scored one of the goals. For the Egyptian, it was the eighth hit in this year’s competition.
