Robert Lewandowski was on the scoresheet again as defending champions, Bayern Munich cruised into the quarter-finals of the Champions League with a 2-1 win over Lazio.

The striker coolly slotted home a first-half penalty after Leon Goretzka was pushed by Francesco Acerbi.

Substitute Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting made it 2-0 in the second half with a chipped finish from close range.

His goal - a 13th from the spot in the Champions League - meant Lewandowski has been directly involved in more goals in the competition than any other player - with 20 goals and five assists - since the start of last season.

Bayern is now unbeaten in their past 31 home matches in all competitions and will find out their quarter-final opponents in Friday's draw.

Meanwhile, Chelsea moved into the quarter-finals for the first time in seven years with a 2-0 win over Atletico Madrid.

Chelsea remains unbeaten in 13 games since Thomas Tuchel took charge.

The Blues join fellow English clubs Liverpool and Manchester City in the draw for the quarter and semi-finals on Saturday.
