The tie had effectively been decided after Bayern's emphatic first-leg performance, yet the hosts still controlled proceedings from the outset, enjoying prolonged spells of possession and repeatedly testing Atalanta goalkeeper Marco Sportiello.

The breakthrough arrived in the 25th minute when Harry Kane converted a retaken penalty after his initial effort had been saved, with Sportiello adjudged to have moved too early off his line.

Atalanta adopted a deeper defensive approach than in the first leg, limiting space inside the box, but Bayern continued to threaten from distance while rarely being troubled at the other end, with Jonas Urbig only called into action once before the interval.

Bayern increased the tempo after the restart and doubled their lead in the 54th minute when Kane produced a precise finish into the top corner after working space inside the area.

Moments later Lennart Karl extended the advantage, finishing clinically into the far corner following good work from debutant Deniz Ofli, before Luis Diaz added another by lifting the ball over the advancing Sportiello.
