Bayern look to quarters
Bayern Munich will be able to sit back and relax as they wait to see who they will face in the quarter finals.
With some of the final places still to be decided Nagelsmann can turn his attentions back to the Bundesliga.
The next stage of the UEFA Champions League may pose more of a challenge for his side.
Plenty to work on
Julian Nagelsmann will realise there is much he can take from this win.
They dominated possession with 72% over the course of the game and will feel they turned that into goals with the scoreline.
To concede when in such a dominant position will worry him and be something he looks to address immediately.
Contract killer
The man, the myth, the legend.
Robert Lewandowski take a bow.
The Bayern striker was on fire tonight, linking up play and finding pockets of space to operate in.
When he is on this kind of form it is difficult for anyone to stop him.
The magnificent seven
Bayern although expected to progress here tonight have absolutely smashed Julian Nagelsmann’s Salzburg.
Mistakes by the visitors gifted the hosts their lead and things only got worse from that point for the Austrians.
An easy day at the office for Bayern.

Bayern 5-1 Salzburg
79. The state of the game is summed up by the silence in the ground now as the teams pass the ball around.
If anyone knows the German for ‘is this a library’ feel free to begin.
Salzburg come forward but are unable to break the Bayern lines.
Bayern 5-1 Salzburg
77. Aside from the defeat tonight, since Salzburg have brought some of their younger players on, they have impressed.
The club which nurtured Haaland seem to have some gems on the production line.
This can be something they learn from tonight.
Bayern 5-1 Salzburg
75. Beating Salzburg won’t striker fear into the big teams in this competition but the way Lewandowski got his hat-trick will raise a few ears.
There will be tougher tests than this but the win here at the Allianz Arena will be good for squad morale.
Bayern press for another goal.

Bayern 5-0 Salzburg
69. It seems like damage limitation may be the tactic for Salzburg now.
They conceded six goals the last time they were in Munich.
Bayern 5-0 Salzburg
67. Bayern make the changes and rest a few players.
Nianzou, Roca and Choupo-Moting all come on.
Possession football right now.
Bayern 5-0 Salzburg
64. Lewandowski unselfishly looks for Muller instead of going for goal.
The ball is blocked for a Bayern corner.
Sadly Thomas Muller is good in the air or it would be fantastic to see him as the regular set-piece specialist.
Time for a Muller corner.
Bayern 5-0 Salzburg
62. The Austrians have a rare break into German territory.
They get the ball into the box and calls for a penalty as the Bayern defender bundles into the back of the Salzburg player.
Referee is not interested.

Some lazy tackles went in on the Bayern winger.
Lewandowski fancies this one.

57. It will be hard for Salzburg to not crumble in the final 30 minutes.
The danger is the match turns into a training game.
Bayern press again and win another corner.
