Tuchel’s team came from a hard blow in the Bundesliga against Bayer Leverkusen and He once again showed that he is not having a good time.

One minute into the game, the Bavarians warned with a shot from Joshua Kimmich, which passed quite close, but they were unable to impose that depth in the rest of the first half.

With a lot of possession and circulation, Bayern managed the times, but without generating much danger. At half an hour there was a free kick taken by Leroy Sané that was close to becoming the first.

The locals counted on the arrival of Luis Alberto, who finished powerfully from outside the area, but without any major danger.

At 39 the clearest one arrived for the visit. Several touches in succession inside the area ended with Musiala in front of the goal and his shot was faulty.

At the start of the snap, there was a bit of a role reversal. Bayern started slowly and from a mistake came a clear lead for Lazio, at the feet of Gustav Isaksen, covered by Manuel Neuer.

But this was a mirage and as the minutes passed, the tenuous dominance and slow possession of the German team returned.

When little was happening in the game, a pivotal play arrived. Lazio came out against Felipe Anderson, Immobile entered the area and set up Isaksen, who was brought down by Upamecano. The referee marked the penalty and the red for the defender. The scorer Immobile changed the foul for 1-0, with great solvency.

After the disadvantage, Bayern went out in search of an equalizer but without precision or depth. Lazio, with a lot of order and pressure, managed to limit the attempts of Tuchel’s men and even had a few chances to stretch the difference.

Bayern will have to shake off this blow and come back at home, with the positive point of being just one goal behind. The second leg will be played on March 5 in Germany.
