A Kane double and Thomas Muller's header helped Bayern overturn a first-leg deficit and advance to the last eight of the Champions League following a 3-0 win over Lazio on Tuesday night.

He said in an Instagram video: "Hi everyone, big win tonight in front of our fans in our stadium, coming from behind. An amazing, amazing atmosphere, amazing game, top, top performance from everyone – front to back. A really important fixture in our season. We've been going through a difficult spell, so to turn it around and put in a performance like we did today shows credit to the boys. We've got to use this, try and build on this, build the momentum, see who we get in the next round, and go from there. I appreciate the support as always, keep it up, keep it going, and let's see if we can finish the season strong."

Bayern have struggled under manager Thomas Tuchel this season, with the former Chelsea boss set to step down at the end of the campaign. The German giants are facing a first season without a major trophy since 2011/12. They are 10 points behind Bayer Leverkusen and while the Bundesliga is a long shot, the Champions League is very much up for grabs.
WHAT NEXT?
Bayern will find out their quarter-final opponents on March 15 but before then they host Mainz in the Bundesliga on Saturday. The day after the Champions League draw they face Darmstadt in the German top-flight.
