UEFA Champions League: Lazio Take 1st Leg Lead Against Bayern Munich As Pressure Mounts On Thomas Tuchel

High and wide. Headers and half-volleys. Free kicks and more. No matter what Bayern Munich tried, the German club simply couldn바카라�t find the goal. None of Bayern바카라�s 16 shots were on target Wednesday in a 1-0 loss at Lazio in the first leg of the Champions League바카라�s round of 16. (More Football News)

Four days after a damaging loss in the Bundesliga, Bayern again didn바카라�t meet expectations.

Lazio captain Ciro Immobile converted a penalty kick when Bayern was reduced to 10 men midway through the second half after the German club failed to capitalize on a series of chances.

바카라�It바카라�s been a tough week,바카라� Bayern striker Harry Kane said. 바카라�We started well and had some clear chances. I had one, Jamal (Musiala) had one, Josh (Kimmich) had one from the edge of the box. In these games, those are big moments which we weren바카라�t able to take.바카라�

Kane was set up by Thomas Müller directly in front of the goal seven minutes in but missed high with a half-volley.

바카라�They바카라�re the ones you want and I just leaned back,바카라� Kane said. 바카라�That바카라�s football and part of being a striker: you바카라�re going to miss them now and again. The main thing for me and the team is to focus on the next challenge. We바카라�re in a difficult spell, there바카라�s no hiding that. We바카라�re not out of it and we바카라�ll never give up. One spark can change a lot and we need to try to find that.바카라�

Together with the 3-0 defeat at Bayer Leverkusen, the result puts pressure on Bayern and coach Thomas Tuchel ahead of the return leg March 5.

바카라�From my perspective, we produced a reaction (to the Leverkusen loss) in the first half,바카라� Bayern바카라�s Thomas Müller said. 바카라�We should definitely have taken the lead in the first half. If we바카라�re talking about a reaction, you can바카라�t always discuss the result 바카라� which is of course a nice end product for a reaction 바카라� but first and foremost, we바카라�re talking about our approach.바카라�

Bayern, a six-time European champion, has reached the quarterfinals or better in 11 of its last 12 Champions League campaigns 바카라� the exception being a last-16 elimination by Liverpool five years ago.

Lazio, which sits seventh in Serie A, lost to Bayern in its only other round-of-16 appearance three years ago. But Maurizio Sarri바카라�s team, which finished second behind runaway Italian champion Napoli last season, has been in solid form lately, winning five of its last seven league matches.

Bayern defender Dayot Upamecano was sent off for a foul on Gustav Isaksen and Immobile sent goalkeeper Manuel Neuer the wrong way with the ensuing spot kick. The Italy forward has now scored Lazio바카라�s last four goals in the competition, having reached the 200-goal mark in Serie A over the weekend.

바카라�Playing matches like this gives you so many emotions and sharing it with these fans is what we dream of as children,바카라� Immobile said.

Paris Saint-Germain beat Real Sociedad 2-0 in the night바카라�s other match.

Having already seen its chances of extending a run of 11 straight Bundesliga titles placed in jeopardy after falling five points behind Leverkusen, Bayern now faces an uphill struggle in Europe, too.

바카라�Our quality and our expectations as a club is that in moments like these, we stick together,바카라� Müller said. 바카라�We will give everything we have in every competition until the very last second. ... We know we have it in us, even if we didn바카라�t show it tonight. And who바카라�s to say things won바카라�t look a lot different in three weeks바카라� time.바카라�

Bayern controlled the game but couldn바카라�t quite find the target early on.Leroy Sané also missed a free kick narrowly wide after the half-hour mark.

After the break, Neuer did well to smother a close-range effort from Isaksen, who had only the goalkeeper to beat after receiving a ball over the top from Luis Alberto.

Then Kane missed again with a header.

Before kickoff, Bayern fans launched flares onto the field and filled the visitors바카라� section with fire and smoke.

After the final whistle, Lazio fans danced in the stands as techno music blasted through the stadium speakers. It was only Lazio바카라�s second ever win in the knockout phase, after beating Valencia in 2000.
