Harry Kane brace helps Bayern Munich turn around Lazio tie

xwhatsappmailcopy-link

Harry Kane scored twice as Bayern Munich overcame Lazio to reach the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals.

Bayern Munich 3-0 Lazio (Bayern win 3-1 on agg.)
Goals: 1-0
Kane 38' (assist: Guerreiro), 2-0 Müller 45'+2 (assist: De Ligt), 3-0 Kane 66'

Trailing 1-0 from the first leg, Bayern had to win to have any chance of progressing. There was an early warning shot from Lazio's former Hertha Berlin midfielder Matteo Guendouzi that sailed wide, but otherwise Thomas Tuchel's men asked nearly all the questions in the first half. Jamal Musiala forced the first save of note from Ivan Provedel in the 15th minute, while some gutsy defending prevented Leroy Sané and Raphaël Guerreiro from landing shots on target. Eric Dier and Ciro Immobile flashed headers wide, before Kane broke the deadlock by stealing in to head a scuffed Guerreiro ball home. Musiala went within a whisker of doubling the lead with Bayern's next attack, but poked wide. Thomas Müller went one better in added time, glancing in a Matthijs de Ligt volley to put Bayern ahead in the tie for the first time.

Rather than chase the knockout blow, Bayern sat on their slender advantage in the early part of the second half. Risk-free, patient build-up involving Müller almost produced a third goal with an hour gone, but Guerreiro sent his low drive wide of the far post. Müller was involved again when Bayern did stretch their lead. He combined with Joshua Kimmich and Aleksandar Pavlović to set up Sané for a shot that Provedal could only parry into the path of Kane, who made no mistake from close range. Provedal pushed a Müller strike onto the woodwork and Sané sent a thumping effort wide as Bayern powered through to the last eight of a competition they're more than capable of winning for the seventh time, on this evidence.

  • Bayern's home record against Italian sides in the Champions League is 11 wins, three draws and four defeats.

Home is where the goals are

Bayern boast 39 goals in 12 home Bundesliga matches this season, which is more than any other side in the league has scored on their own ground. They also scored six goals in their three UEFA Champions League group stage matches in Munich.

11 domestic defeats

Bayern's Bundesliga campaign is not going entirely to plan, but they have lost just four of their 24 league matches this season. Lazio, in contrast, have lost 11 out of 27 in Serie A and are ninth in the table currently.

More on those teams

Thomas Tuchel names two changes to the Bayern side that drew 2-2 at Freiburg on Friday. Leroy Sané (pictured) has recovered from a groin issue in time to replace Mathys Tel. Matthijs de Ligt is back after a domestic suspension and partners Eric Dier in central defence, with Minjae Kim on the substitutes' bench. Maurizio Sarri makes three changes to the Lazio starting line-up compared to the first leg, with Pellegrini, Vecino and Zaccagni preferred to Hysaj, Cataldi and Isaksen.

Reasons for hope from Rome

Bayern did not register a shot on target at the Stadio Olimpico but they did have 17 shots in total to Lazio's 11. The Bundesliga champions also bossed possession, with 61%.
camera-photo

A familiar face

Daichi Kamada, who spent six years at Eintracht Frankfurt, could feature again for Lazio tonight after playing the final nine minutes of the first leg in Rome. The Japanese midfielder left the Eagles for Serie A last summer.

Kane's Champions League home comforts

Harry Kane has scored 15 of his 25 UEFA Champions League goals at home (including three of his four in the competition for Bayern so far). He is just five goals short of the leading English goalscorer in Champions League history, Wayne Rooney.

Huge home advantage

In another piece of encouraging news for Bayern fans, their side are unbeaten in their last 13 European home games (W10, D3), while their Champions League record at the Allianz Arena since the start of their treble-winning campaign of 2019/20 reads 18 wins, three draws and only one defeat.

Omens

Bayern have progressed the last two times they lost the first leg of a Champions League last-16 tie. The last occasion saw them beat Basel 7-0 in Munich after a 1-0 loss in Switzerland in 2011/12.

Never say never

Bayern have history when it comes to overturning first-leg deficits, including against Italian opposition. Click here for more on some of the record champions' most famous European comebacks.

Win or bust for Bayern

A goal down in the tie, Bayern have to win on the night if they're to reach the quarter-finals. Victory by two or more goals inside 90 minutes would ensure the six-time winners' safe passage to the next round, but a one-goal winning margin (1-0, 2-1, 3-2 etc.) would send the tie to extra time. A draw or Lazio win, however, would see Bayern eliminated.
camera-photo

De Ligt demands togetherness

"Lazio are very good defensively. The important thing for us is that we get men in the box. We have to ready at all times and not concede a goal. It won't be an easy game. It's always tough to play against Sarri teams because they're always very alert. We need to be strong to win the game. I know we're having a tough spell. The game is very important, also for the whole season. We're in this spell together and have to come out of it together."
camera-photo

Tuchel calls for cool heads

"Patience is required. It's about not getting frustrated, not losing our heads, not completely opening up. Losing our structure against Freiburg meant we faced a lot of counter-attacks. We don't have any time to lose. We have 90 minutes. We can't wait to attack. Time is on Lazio's side. We need a mix of cool heads and emotion. You should be able to see from the start that we want to score goals."

Bayern team news

In comparison, Die Roten have a plethora of injury issues. Sacha Boey, Kingsley Coman, Noussair Mazraoui and Bouna Sarr are all definitely out, while Leroy Sané may have to sit out a second successive match with a knee problem. Serge Gnabry is in contention to feature, at least, but is unlikely to be able to play a significant proportion of the game, while Dayot Upamecano's red card from the first game means he is suspended for this one. However, Tuchel says Alphonso Davies "could play 90 minutes" after returning as a substitute against Freiburg.

Lazio team news

Sarri has close to his best team to chose from, with only right-back Patric and Nicolo Rovella unavailable to him. Immobile has not been at his brilliant best this season, but with 10 goals to his name, he is his side's top goalscorer and remains their danger man, while Luis Alberto is also one for Thomas Tuchel and Co. to keep an eye on.
camera-photo

Lazio form

Since the victory over Bayern, it has been a difficult few weeks for Maurizio Sarri's men. In their first game after, they were defeated 2-1 by Bologna and, while they did then beat Torino 2-0, they were subsequently dispatched by Fiorentina and AC Milan in back-to-back games.

Head-to-head

This is the third meeting between the two sides, with all of their match-ups coming in the Champions League last 16. In 2020/21, Bayern triumphed 6-2 on aggregate, winning 4-1 away and 2-1 at home. If they do progress here, it is unlikely to be by such a comfortable margin.

The story so far

Bayern host the Italian outfit needing to win by two clear goals to progress in normal time. That is because they were defeated 1-0 in the first leg at the Stadio Olimpico, failing to register a shot on target in the process. Ultimately, Ciro Immobile's penalty was the difference between the two teams, although Dayot Upamecano's red card didn't make it easier for the visitors.
