Bayern Munich and Thomas Tuchel are risking their future now. The club and coach have an obligation to overcome the 1-0 defeat against Lazio in the first leg in Rome to get out of the rapid crisis as a result of the poor results in the Bundesliga, led by Bayer Leverkusen with a 10-point advantage.
The elimination It could mean an immediate sacking of a Tuchel who, as agreed by the board, will leave office at the end of the season. Lazio, on the other hand, face a historic opportunity to advance to the round of 16 of the Champions League under the current format. To do this, it must be profitable the only penalty goal scored by Ciro Immobile at the Olympic stadium.
“I didn’t expect this to be my last game”
“For my part, I didn’t expect this to be my last game, but I can’t speak for the rest of the club,” Tuchel said yesterday. “I am sticking to the agreement. “Everyone can be sure that no one has more ambition to win the fight.”
If Bayern has won just one of its last four games in the Bundesliga and just drew on Friday with its visit to Freiburg (2-2), things will not be better for Lazio in Serie A.
The group of Maurizio Sarri They are ninth, eleven points from the Champions League positions after two consecutive defeats, the second on Friday at home against Milan (0-1) in an eventful and controversial match in which they suffered three expulsion.
Without the sanctioned Upamecano but with Kane
Bayern are out by the sanction of the central Dayot Upamecano, sent off in the first leg in penalty action, while Boey, Mazraoui, Sarr and Coman were injured, but cling to Harry Kane’s goals, top scorer in the Bundesliga with 27.
Sarri is missing Patric and Rovella, but Lazio have nothing to lose and everything to gain. All the pressure is on Bayern and at the feet of Immobile and Luis Alberto achieved a historic passage to the quarterfinals and revenge on the Bavarians, who in 2021 eliminated them in the round of 16.
