Lazio vs Bayern Munich – LIVE!
Bayern Munich are back in Champions League action tonight as Thomas Tuchel looks for a huge turnaround. For the first time in well over a decade, the German giants are seeing their stranglehold of Bundesliga weaken, despite all the excellence of one Harry Kane. As such, Tuchel is under pressure ahead of tonight’s trip to Rome.
While the former Chelsea boss does have previous in this competition, few can argue his team have dropped off this season. That may not matter if Tuchel does deliver the ultimate prize come the end of the season but, on this kind of form, Bayern don’t exactly strike fear into the hearts of their opposition.
Lazio, meanwhile, are struggling compared to last season too. Maurizio Sarri took them to a second placed finish last time out but sees them sitting eighth as things stand. Follow all the action LIVE with Standard Sport’s dedicated match blog!
