Boom-Boom-Bayern shoots Lazio

Bayern Munich are heading to the quarter-finals of the Champions League. The defending champion, who has weakened as a substitute, prevails in the first leg of the first leg against Lazio 4: 1. Chelsea beat Atlético de Madrid 1-0.

Lazio – Bayern 1: 4

The troublesome German teacher was talked about in the run-up to the game. Bayern only got one point in the last two Bundesliga games, in the table the series champion had to let his competitor Leipzig rise to two points. Also, the Munich staff problems. They had traveled to Rome with only 17 players; In addition to Benjamin Pavard and Thomas Müller, who recently contracted the corona virus, the injured Serge Gnabry, Douglas Costa and Corentin Tolisso were also missing.

At the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, the Bavarians performed again in the form in which they broke into the title in the finals of the Lisbon tournament in the summer. With the 3-0 victory shortly before the break, Leroy Sané decided from the beginning the one-sided match.

Lazio shot on a weak day. A pass from the capital back from Mateo Musacchio, who had to give way to Senad Lulic after half an hour, had started the fall of the local team. Robert Lewandowski, the world footballer from Poland’s Bavaria, speculated correctly in the 9th minute, rounded off goalkeeper Pepe Reina and scored to make it 1-0. It was Lewandowski’s 32nd goal in the 31st competitive game of the season.

The 2-0 was reserved for a possible future footballer of the year. Jamal Musiala, the British-German super talent who celebrates his 18th birthday on Friday, reunited after some brilliant preparatory work from Alphonso Davies and Leon Goretzka and gave his boss a gift: Bayern coach Hansi Flick will turn 56 on Wednesday.

Bayern’s 4: 0 immediately after the break represented Lazio’s weak performance. Francesco Acerbi stumbled on a low cross from Sané at his own goal. Ángel Correa’s 1: 4 consolation goal will probably no longer bring anything to Lazio in the final accounts.
