Bayern Munich vs Lazio: Storylines
While they continue ruling in the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich are once again on the hunt for European’s biggest prize. The German teamhaven’t lost in this campaign so far, and even though the only title-contender they faced up to now was Atlético de Madrid, they still look as powerful as they were last year.
Hansi Flick’s side not only got the win in the first leg of this series but they also claimed a remarkable advantage ahead of the rematch at home. Bayern Munich seem to be the same unstoppable team from last season. Is there a team capable ofprovingthat wrongin this Champions League?
That side probably won’t be Lazio, though. Unless they suddenly pull off a surprising display from themselves, the Italians’campaign may be over soon. They would need to have a perfect night to turn around thehurtful 1-4 disadvantage from the first game in the Stadio Olimpico. Resisting Bayern’s force and scoring so many goals against Manuel Neuerdoesn’t seem likely, even though soccer has surprises.
