Bayern Munich‘s aspirations for Champions League glory suffered a severe setback as they were defeated 1-0 by Lazio in the first leg of their last 16 tie.
The Bundesliga giants, aiming for European success, faced a strong Lazio side in Rome, but failed to deliver.
The match saw Danish forward Gustav Isaksen missing crucial chances for Bayern, while former West Ham winger Felipe Anderson, often overlooked, made a decisive impact.
Anderson’s relentless attacking forced a penalty after a clash with Dayot Upamecano, who was subsequently sent off.
Ciro Immobile converted the penalty, securing a crucial lead for Lazio.
The defeat comes on the heels of Bayern’s 3-0 loss to Bayer Leverkusen, marking a downward spiral for the club.
With these recent results, Bayern’s grip on the Bundesliga lead has weakened, raising concerns about their trophy prospects this season.
For Harry Kane, Bayern’s star striker, the pursuit of his first major trophy faces mounting challenges.
Kane’s move to Bayern was seen as a potential path to silverware, but with defeats in the Super Cup, Pokal, and now the Champions League, the dream of ending his trophy drought hangs in the balance.
