Lazio surprises Bayern and takes a slight advantage in the round of 16 first leg

It’s still far from being won for Lazio, it’s even more true when the opponent is Bayern Munich, and the return match will be played at the Allianz Arena. But the Italians took a very small lead over the Germans on Wednesday February 14, winning 1 goal to 0 (on a penalty) in the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League. Thomas Tuchel’s men finished the match at 10 after a nasty mistake from Dayot Upamecano on Gustav Isaksen in the 67th minute.

It is an understatement to say that the meeting was closed. Maurizio Sarri’s players, disciplined, were very solid in defense, facing the uninspired Germans (no shots on target). The Munich residents never found the solution against this well-organized Lazio team, which sometimes knew how to project itself quickly and be dangerous, without ever realizing its opportunities to make the break (four shots on target).

Already criticized for the latest results of his team, and in particular the heavy defeat against Bayer Leverkusen (3-0), Bayern’s direct competitor in the Bundesliga, Thomas Tuchel will be under a little more pressure after the unconvincing performance of his team .
