The goals came via a Harry Kane brace and a goal by Jamal Musiala.

The emphatic scoreline has put the Bavarians in the driving seat, but manager Vincent Kompany has warned his side that the job is far from finished.

Kompany, who finally tasted victory against Leverkusen after four attempts, kept his feet firmly on the ground post-match. "We've only played one half of this tie," he said.

"The second half awaits us next week in Leverkusen, and we'll need to be just as sharp to secure our place in the quarter-finals."

The former Manchester City captain highlighted the fine margins in these encounters, adding, "We've faced Leverkusen four times now, and it's always come down to the small details, even if the scoreline tonight suggests otherwise."

The night wasn't without concern for Bayern, as legendary goalkeeper Manuel Neuer limped off in the second half, replaced by youngster Jonas Urbig.

Kompany provided a brief update on his captain's condition, saying, "Right now, I don't have much on Manuel's injury. It seems he hurt his calf while celebrating, but we'll know more soon."

Neuer's potential absence could be a blow, with Bayern fans anxiously awaiting further news.

Adding to the story, Bayern's official X account posted after the game: "A big night at the Allianz Arena, 3-0 and a clean sheet! The tie's not over yet, but we're ready for the fight in Leverkusen."

Meanwhile, Leverkusen boss Xabi Alonso took to X, admitting, "Bayern were clinical tonight. We've got work to do at home." Kompany's focus, though, remains unwavering as Bayern prepare for a crucial second leg.

For now, the Munich faithful are buzzing, but their seasoned manager knows the Champions League demands perfection over two legs, and they're only halfway there.
