If Lazio had a chance to sink their teeth into Bayern, it was now at the Olympic stadium. So it is. The Bavarians remain favorites in the Champions League round of 16 tie but have to return to the Allianz Arena (1-0) as a result of a penalty goal from Ciro Immobile caused by Dayot Upemacano. The Frenchman reassigned his team and the questionable Thomas Tuchel on another unfortunate night in Europe.
Bayern came out strong, ready to wash away the disastrous image they showed on Saturday against Bayer Leverkusen in the summit match of the Bundesliga (3-0) and dominated from start to finish. a Lazio very far from ‘Sarriball’, his coach’s seal to make his team the star of the matches, although this time it worked.
Bayern were forgiving in the first half
Lazio were forced to drop back and try to close gaps and passing lanes. He managed it once but Bayern, who is the coach Thomas Tuchel was not surprised this time with his approachhad three clear chances to score in the first half.
Harry Kane He managed to open the scoring in the 6th minute with a through ball from Thomas Müller, but his shot soon went too high. Half an hour later, Leroy Sané miraculously did not score with a superbly executed indirect free kick that missed the post by millimeters.
The best game play
Moments before the break, Bayern put together that great collective play He left Jamal Musiala alone against Ivan Provedelwho was relieved to see how the German player’s shot went over the crossbar.
Lazio hardly played in attack and only projected when Luis Alberto offered flashes of his great class. His was the only chance, albeit a spectacular one, for Sarri’s team in the first half when he received a pass on the edge of the area and his shot went very close to the top corner (21′).
Penalty and red card to Upamecano and goal from Immobile
As soon as the match resumed, Luis Alberto stole the ball in the middle from Dayot Upamecano and quickly threw long, Kim Min-jae missed the cut and Manuel Neuer gets frustrated with Gustav Isaksen in heads-up play.
Lazio’s hopeful start was a mirage. Bayern continued to dominate, although without creating danger, until Upemacano once again left them in a compromising situation. The French central defender made trouble again, as his two mistakes in City-Bayern (3-0) from the last Champions League, when he saw a straight red card for stepping on Isaksen in his attempt to avoid his shot.
A Bayern with no response with ten
Ciro Immobile converts the shot (67′) and on the downside, Bayern have shown themselves powerless to trouble Lazio’s defense despite the fact that Thomas Tuchel, who sacrificed Leon Goretzka to bring in Matthijs de Ligt After Upamecano’s red card, he ordered two offensive changes in search of a tie.
No reaction, Kane didn’t show, 2-0 closer two occasions of Felipe Anderson and Pedro, and Tuchel’s continuity is somewhat compromised.
