In the last 12 seasons, Bayern Munich made it to the round of 16 in the Champions League 11 times.
One of them was in 2021, when they beat Lazio 2:6 in the aggregate of the two games and continued to the next stage.
Tonight (Wednesday, 22:00), three years after winning 1:4 at the Olimpico, the German champion returns to Rome for another meeting against the Blues in the first game of the round of 16.
The Bavarians come to the match in a bad mood after they were defeated 3:0 by Leverkusen in the season's game on Saturday, and now they are five points away from the exciting leader.
Leroy Sane has been training partially in recent days, but to the joy of Thomas Tuchel, he is fit to start in the lineup, and this is important news in light of the absences of Kingsley Coman and Serge Gnabry.
Thomas Muller, Jamal Musiale and Harry Kane are also up front, while Rafael Guerrero replaces Sasha Bowie on the left side of defence.
Nussier Mazrawi, who returned to training only in the final training session, is also fit to start.
Daniel Peretz who is known to be injured is not in the squad.
On the other hand, Lazio, which is in a mediocre season, knows that it needs a good result to reach the Allianz Arena with any chance of creating a sensation in the conclusion of the double encounter.
The Biancocelesti hope to avoid a first home loss in 2024, and for that they continued with the front part that started 1:3 against Cagliari at the weekend - Ciro Immobila in the center, Felipe Anderson and Gustav Isaksen on the wings.
He didn't start in Leverkusen, he did start in Rome.
