FC Bayern easily qualified for the round of 16 of the Champions League.
The Munich team won 4-2 (4-0) against the Czech champions and, after four wins from four games, can no longer be dislodged from one of the first two places in Group C.
In the parallel game, FC Barcelona and Inter Milan played 3: 3 (1: 0).
Bayern lead the table with 12 points, followed by Milan (7), Barcelona (4) and the Czechs, who are still pointless.
Bayern approached the game seriously and quickly led.
Sadio Mané and Leon Goretzka overturned the defense with a simple one-two, Mané executed (10').
It was the expected one-goal game.
After preparatory work by Kingsley Coman, Thomas Müller, who had returned to the squad after his corona infection, made it 2-0 (14th).
The Czech champions were absurdly inferior and couldn't keep up with Bayern's pace.
Goretzka increased to 3:0 (25th).
It was his first brace in the Champions League.
The only fly in the ointment from Bayern's point of view: Müller was hit while preparing the goal and had to leave the field.
A diagnosis was initially pending, but it seemed like a precautionary measure.
Bayern takes the pace out
That didn't detract from Bayern's game.
Leroy Sané served Goretzka, who scored Bayern's fourth goal with a lob (35').
The game was just as one-sided as the first leg about a week ago, when FC Bayern won 5-0 in Munich.
In the second half, Bayern took it easy and weren't as good in the game, which was also due to the numerous changes made by coach Julian Nagelsmann.
Pilsen had a few chances, one of which Adam Vlkanova used to make it 1:4 (62nd).
After that, the record champions acted sleepy and even conceded the 2: 4 through Jan Kliment (75th).
Bayern seemed to have already focused on the top Bundesliga game against Freiburg on Sunday.
Despite the small phase of weakness in the second half, FC Bayern has now been unbeaten in 32 group games in the Champions League.
