Bayern Munich suffered an unexpected defeat in the last sixteen of the Champions League. They lost 1-0 to Lazio in the first leg. Throughout the match the German giants were in a state not seen in the recent past. At one point they had to play with a team of 10 people.
In the 69th minute, Lazio’s goal came courtesy of a penalty. In the 67th minute, Bayern defender Dayot Upamecano made a bad challenge on Gustav Isaken, and the French star saw a straight red card. Cero Immobile made no mistake in shaking the net from the spot kick.
Bayern was without a nail in the whole match. They were so cornered that for the first time since 2019, they failed to put a shot on target in a competitive match. But Bayern was the clear favorite of this match. After a 3-0 demolition by Leverkusen in the Bundesliga, they were expected to bounce back in this match. But the second consecutive loss has increased the pressure. They did not score in both matches.
