Bayern Munich remain in the hunt for a treble after Harry Kane and Luis Diaz inspired them to a 2-0 win at Bayer Leverkusen in the DFB-Pokal semi-finals.

Vincent Kompany’s men were once again confirmed as the Bundesliga champions last weekend with a 4-2 win over Stuttgart.

And they will now face either defending Pokal champions Stuttgart or Freiburg in the final in Berlin next month after claiming a deserved win at the BayArena.

Kane put Bayern in front after a dominant start, the England captain lashing home after Diaz had dummied Jamal Musiala’s right-wing cross into his path.

It looked as if that would be the only goal of the tie despite Bayern continuing to create chances, but Diaz lofted over Mark Flekken in the third and final minute of injury time after being played through by Leon Goretzka.

The linesman flagged for offside, but Diaz’s strike was allowed to stand following a VAR review.

Bayern, who face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League semi-finals next week, will contest the Pokal final for the first time since 2020, when they beat Leverkusen 4-2.

Nice set up Lens final

The line-up of the Coupe de France final is set after Nice booked a meeting with Lens at the Stade de France with a 2-0 win at Strasbourg.

Three-time winners of the Coupe de France, Nice took the lead in the 51st minute when Elye Wahi turned home Jonathan Clauss’ right-wing cross.

And Wahi put the game to bed eight minutes from the end of normal time as he converted from the penalty spot.

Nice will have the chance to atone for their loss to Nantes in the final in 2022, while Strasbourg’s primary focus will be on their Conference League semi-final with Rayo Vallecano, with the first leg in Spain next week.

Motta the shootout hero for Lazio

Lazio will face Inter Milan in the Coppa Italia final at the their Stadio Olimpico home after beating Atalanta on penalties.

With the tie level at 2-2 from the first leg in Rome, Atalanta looked to have taken the lead just after the hour mark through Ederson, but that was chalked off for a foul on Lazio goalkeeper Edoardo Motta. VAR ruled Motta already had both hands on the ball when it was kicked away from him for Ederson to tap in.

Alessio Romagnoli then put Lazio in front when he turned home from a corner, only for Mario Pasalic to immediately respond with a cool finish from the edge of the area.

There was more frustration for Atalanta in extra time as Giacomo Raspadori had a goal ruled out for offside following a VAR check, and it would ultimately prove not to be the hosts’ evening.

Raspadori scored the first penalty of the shootout, but Motta incredibly saved the next four Atalanta spot-kicks to send Lazio through despite Maurizio Sarri’s men missing their first two penalties.

The heroics of Motta and successful spot-kicks from Gustav Isaksen and Kenneth Taylor mean Lazio can win the Coppa Italia for an eighth time next month, though they will be underdogs against Serie A champions-elect Inter.

Atletico undone by Elche

Elche gave their hopes of LaLiga survival an unexpected boost as they stunned Atletico Madrid 3-2.

Atletico, coming off a penalty shootout loss to Real Sociedad in the Copa del Rey final, took the lead in the 10th minute as Nicolas Gonzalez converted after a superb one-two with Rodri Mendoza.

But David Affengruber levelled just eight minutes later for Elche after Atletico failed to clear a corner, and things got worse for Diego Simeone’s men when Affengruber harried Thiago Almada into losing possession in his own half and was then held back by the Argentinian in the box.

Almada was shown a straight red card after the referee pointed to the spot, and Andre Silva made no mistake from 12 yards.

A stunning piece of individual play from Gonzalez levelled matters once more as he nodded over the line after displaying tremendous control to keep the ball in play while running down the right byline.

Yet it would be Elche who would have the final say as Silva slammed home his second from the excellent Affengruber’s pull back.

Elche move out of the relegation zone, two points clear of the bottom three. Atletico missed the chance to cut the gap to third-placed Villarreal but are all but certain of Champions League qualification.

Atletico’s conquerors in the Copa del Rey also suffered defeat as Sociedad slipped to a 1-0 home loss to Getafe.

Brais Mendez hit the post with a 14th-minute penalty for Sociedad, who then fell behind when Jon Gorrotxategi headed into his own net. Getafe held on to prevail despite failing to register a shot on target, and leapfrog both Sociedad and Celta Vigo, who lost 1-0 to leaders Barcelona, into sixth place. They and Celta are five points behind Real Betis, who occupy LaLiga’s potential fifth Champions League qualification spot.
