The drummers in the Südkurve beat a regular rhythm. Out on the pitch, the Cheap Bayern Munich football shirts kids players unleashed wave after wave of wild attacks, and the crowd at the Allianz Arena rocked and screamed along with them. And if you closed your eyes and tried not to think too much, it was possible to imagine that these were different times, better times. That everything would be fine in the end.

Of course, it is not. Cheap Bayer Leverkusen football shirts Leading the Bundesliga, coach Thomas Tuchel is leaving in the summer and there are good reasons to take a third of his underperforming squad with him. But still, the stolen glance of a mutilated dream that dares to return its gaze. Bayern are still in the Champions League. They still have unfinished business and a front four that you would wade through thick snow to watch. And they still have Harry Kane.

What an irony it would be if it was Kane - a man who has never won a trophy in his life - who dragged this bunch of serial medallists and hereditary champions across the finish line. It was his 32nd and 33rd goals of the season that took them to the quarter-finals here, along with another consummate European performance by Thomas Müller, and the more Bayern asserted themselves the more Lazio began to look like the ninth best team in Serie A.

And if Bayern manage to make it through the next three rounds and climb up to Wembley's royal box, they may be thinking about the two minutes that turned this draw upside down. Barely had Ciro Immobile missed a glorious free-kick from six metres that would have put Lazio 2-0 up on aggregate, before Kane nodded Bayern into the lead after Raphaël Guerreiro's failed shot. These are the margins, these are the moments. And Bayern know better than anyone that when it comes to this stage of the season, you take your little lucky breaks where you can get them.

Müller scored a second goal just before half-time when he headed in Matthijs de Ligt's screaming volley, Kane finished off a quick counter-attack by poking in Leroy Sané's parried shot, and Bayern could have scored a fourth or fifth goal. But more important was the rediscovery of what might as well be called their old arrogance: the swagger and poise and sense of security that have been so conspicuously absent of late. The great Bayern teams killed without thinking. Everyone knew their jobs. Everyone knew how it would end.

"We managed to be focused and disciplined for 90 minutes," said Tuchel, who limped slightly after kicking a box during his pre-match team talk and breaking his toe. "We didn't do any crazy things either, we waited for the gaps to open up and had a better understanding of when to accelerate and when to take risks. In the end, it looked easier than it was."

Likewise, let's be honest: Lazio were a big disappointment here. Maurizio Sarri's game plan had gently taken them through 130 minutes of this match, and it went well enough: defend in numbers, counter through the speedy Felipe Anderson and the lively Immobile. But once they had to run, they seemed to vanish into the night. Anderson was a one-man whirlwind on the right and Luis Alberto was probably the most industrious of their three midfielders, but they finished the night without a single shot on target.

In desperation, Sarri made a triple substitution after an hour, replacing captain Immobile (206 goals for Lazio in 329 games) with Argentine striker Taty Castellanos (two goals in 25 games). And really, this was a revelation of sorts, reminiscent of how Lazio have struggled to gear up this season, to find different ways to win. No team in Serie A this season has taken fewer points from losing positions.

But as Lazio tried to open up the game, press the fullbacks higher and try to play more ambitiously through the midfield, something just felt wrong. The spread was all wrong, the relationships were all wrong, and suddenly Bayern were back in their comfort zone: winning the ball high and uninhibitedly feasting on the open spaces.

For Cheap Bayern Munich football shirts ladies there are undoubtedly tougher tests ahead. Too many of their big players - Joshua Kimmich and Manuel Neuer come to mind - are still stumbling around and barely performing. Defence pair De Ligt and Eric Dier look vulnerable against teams that run at them with speed. But while it is still bright, there is still hope.

"Nights like this can really change the season," said Kane. And for Bayern Munich, this was a night for healing, for turning the page, for dreaming fleetingly of being kings again.
