Bayern Munich Brush Off Lazio

Bayern Munich have pressed Serie A alongside Lazio to qualify for the UEFA Champions League finals. After a 4-1 victory in Italy, the Rekordmeister defeated Lazio at home 2-1 thanks to goals from Robert Lewandowski and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, Marco Parolo scored a goal for the Italians.

It was an impossible mission for the Italians from the very beginning, who had to score four unanswered goals to reach the Champions League finals. Although Bayern have been leaking goals all season, this seemed to be at a high level from the very beginning. Then in the 33rd minute, it became an impossible mission when Vedat Muriqi brought down Leon Goretzka inside the box. Robert Lewandowski stopped from the spot.

Bayern were now sailing with Lazio never offering any kind of complaint. With that in mind, head coach Hansi Flick began to turn his side. Alphonso Davies, who was initially restless, was substituted for Leon Goretzka in the 64th, and then seven minutes later, Choupo-Moting replaced Lewandowski, and Jamal Musiala came on for Thomas Müller.

Just two minutes later, Bayern doubled the lead. In the 73rd minute, Joshua Kimmich saw a Choupo-Moting run, the forward then put forward the gamekeeper José Manuel Reina with a stunning finish. Bayern would not be in Bayern if they conceded at least one goal, and in the 82nd minute, Marco Parolo defeated Alexander Nübel – Bayern’s number two got off to a rare start to give him some rest. Manuel Neuer – following a corner.

The opposition goal is almost mandatory for Bayern Munich this season. The Rekordmeister has struggled with defensive issues all season, and while he has not injured Bayern in the Champions League up to this point, there is a feeling that a better challenge could be in front. Bayern have lost out on Champions League finals twice in the last decade and are now in what people around the club call the end – of – season business.

“It was important to me that we won the game,” Bayern head coach Hansi Flick said after the game. “Lazio defended well, but I think the win was well deserved. It’s a pity we surrendered again.”

Bayern head coach Hansi Flick, who was in contention with sports director Hasan Salihamidzic, is set to reach a new level this week, now facing his first real weight test since running the Champions League this summer. last year. “We went together and we’ve spoken out,” Flick said when asked about Salihamidzic. “It was a short conversation, but we took action for the good of the club.”

A quick look at the clubs still in the competition offering some really tough and potentially upside down. First and foremost, Pep Guardiola has Manchester City; the designated Premier League

title winners are probably Bayern ‘s biggest hurdle when it comes to defending the title.

They’re not the same banana peel, though. Liverpool under Jürgen Klopp must win the title to qualify for the Champions League next season. Paris Saint-Germain are finally to win their first UCL title, followed by Chelsea.

The Blues have been impressive under new head coach Thomas Tuchel. Since Tuchel took over, Chelsea have won eight games and drawn four with an average points per game of 2.33, with a goal difference of 13: 2. Chelsea’s defense, in particular, has been impressive, and could their offensive style with fast promoters is the kind of tactical poison that Bayern have struggled with all seasons against teams from the Bundesliga.

“Our attack is so strong, and we’re playing a high-risk game,” Flick said. “It’s important that we keep playing like this and defend from the front to put pressure on our opponents. Yes, now and then, the opponent gets opportunities, but that’s how I want us to play. “
