Lazio defeat in a stunning match Tuchel's Bayern Munich, in what became a story of drama and emotions. No surprises were expected yesterday at this Champions League game match as our X and instagram polls gave the upper hand by 80% to Bayern.
Bayern Munich are now in danger of exiting Champions League as they suffered a 1-0 defeat by Lazio. Thomas Tuchel's status was already under scrutiny after Saturday's humbling 3-0 loss to Bayer Leverkusen, which left them five points behind in the Bundesliga title race.
With Joshua Kimmich and Thomas Muller back in the starting lineup, Tuchel's team might redeem themselves. But that didn't help Bayern, who were suffering under the German coach.
Kane, Sane, and Musiala all wasted half-chances to put the visitors in front as the two sides were tied at halftime.
Luis Alberto lofted the ball over the top to Isaksen, but Neuer saved. Lazio squandered a fantastic opportunity to go up minutes after the break.
Dayot Upamecano was sent off in the 67' for a strong foul on Isaksen, catching him on the ankle inside the penalty area. Lazio received a penalty. Ciro Immobile took charge and scored, giving the hosts a crucial lead and a man advantage.
Bayern substituted Eric Maxim Choupo Moting and Mathys Tel for Muller and Sane late on to find an equalizer, but with a man down and Harry Kane quiet, it was in vain. Bayern must improve greatly at the Allianz Arena to win the second leg or they can see themselves exiting the Champions League.
This Match puts in grave danger the position of Thomas Tuchel. With recent events can see Bayern end this season trophy less. A loss from Leverkusen and a first leg defeat sure have put his name under pressure. He is a name to have focus on for the next events at the German's locker room.
