Struggles: Bayern could finish the season trophyless (REUTERS)
Bayern Munich have to overturn a first-leg deficit against Lazio to reach the Champions League quarter-finals.
Last month’s first clash hinged on Dayot Upamecano giving away a penalty, and his subsequent red card, before Lazio captain Ciro Immobile slotted home from the spot.
Days later, it was confirmed that Thomas Tuchel will leave the club at the end of the season and Bayern have picked up four points from a possible nine in the league since to throw their Bundesliga title hopes into disarray.
Lazio, meanwhile, warmed up for the second leg with a chaotic loss to AC Milan which saw them handed three red cards.
Date, kick-off time and venue
Bayern Munich vs Lazio is scheduled for an 8pm GMT kick-off on Tuesday, March 5, 2024.
