Champions, Bayern-Lazio 2-1: Lewandowski, Choupo-Moting and Parolo

Bayern stamped practice to advance to the Champions League quarterfinals with another success over Lazio. After the 4-1 at the Olimpico, the Flick team won 2-1 with a goal on time. But in the final the Biancocelesti score and chase the tie. Inzaghi’s training will start, which endures against the Bavarians until the 32nd minute when Lewandowski scores a penalty. After conceding the goal, Lazio divested themselves of their best energy. In the second half after a Lewandowski post comes the double of the Germans with Choupo-Moting who, as soon as he enters, makes use of the new shakes of Lazio. But in the final he relaunches, shortens the distance with Parolo and chases even the last one. So he leaves the Allianz with his head held high with a test that in the end is filled with courage and gives morale for the championship.
