In the early morning of March 9 (Vietnam time), the second leg of the UEFA Champions League round 1/8 between Bayern Munich and Salzburg did not have any surprises. Although Bayern were held to a 1-1 draw by Salzburg in the first leg, the "Gray Tigers" proved their strength when returning home.
Bayern won 7-1 (a total of 8-2 in both matches) to convincingly qualify for the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals.
Lewandowski was the star of the match. He scored 3 consecutive goals for Bayern in the 12, 21 and 23 minutes, including 2 goals from the 11m mark. The remaining goals of the "Gray Tigers" were scored by Gnabry (31'), Muller (54'), Muller (83') and Sane (85). Salzburg's only goal was scored by Kjaergaard (70).
This was a match in which Lewandowski set a record in the Champions League. It took him just 23 minutes since the match started to score three goals. Lewandowski is the fastest striker to score a hat-trick in the history of the tournament. He broke Marco Simone's record by scoring a hat-trick in the 24-minute Milan game against Rosenborg in 1996.
Lewandowski also rose to the top of the 2021-2022 Champions League scoring list with 12 goals.
The victory helped Bayern enter the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the 20th time. They also sent a challenge to the rest of this tournament.
