Hansie Flick is yet to lose or draw in the Champions League knockout game as Bayern Munich in charge, while a 2–1 second leg win over Lucio drew a seven-match streak on Wednesday that left the club in the final-eight delivered.
Despite a late consolation finish from the visitors, the tie was never in doubt after Robert Lewandowski was converted by chance in the 33rd minute and Eric Maxim Choupo-Motting converted the Bavarians’ lead midway through the second half.
Flick is off to a unique start in Europe, and based on Bayern Munich’s comfort in outscoring their Italian foes 6–2 on the elite, their perfect knockout record is a fair chance to continue in the quarter-finals.
What history has Bayern made?
There are several first Bayern Munich that are being destroyed through Lazio.
They have now qualified for the quarter-finals 19 times – more than any other team in Champions League history. Flick, meanwhile, is the first manager to win each of his first seven knockout stage games in the competition.
The Bavarians have also tied their best unbeaten Champions League streak including group stage matches, saving them from defeat in 19 straight matches.
