These two days were the first leg of the 23-24 Champions League 1/8 finals, and among the five major league teams, Real Madrid, Manchester City and Paris all won, and only one team suffered a miserable upset: Bayern, the 11th Bundesliga champion, lost 0-1 away to Lazio.
With 17 shots and 0 shots on target in a single game, Tuchel led the team to play a humiliating battle, and Bayern, whose attack was so bad as scattered sand, has not been seen for more than ten years!
At 4 o'clock on February 15, Beijing time, Paris won Real Sociedad 2-0 at the same time, and Bayern, the second in the Bundesliga, challenged Lazio, which ranked 7th in Serie A with only one win in four previous games, and finally lost 0-1, breaking out the Champions League upset.
The Blue Eagles use a 433 formation, with Immobile, Felipe Anderson and Ithakarsen forming an attacking trident. Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel used a 4231 formation, with Kane pushing forward with a single arrow, followed by Musiala, Muller and Leroy Sane.
In recent years, Serie A teams have proved their strength in Europe with good European performances. In this game, the Blue Eagles also prioritized maintaining an Italian defense, with 39% possession of the ball, seeking victory on the premise of defending.
In this first half, Bayern were scoreless in the face of a dense frontal defense composed of Lazio multi-player, with 7 shots on goal and 0 on target, not only did they lack some great chances, but they were not very fluent in terms of attacking coordination. After half-time, the score was 0-0.
In the second half, the two teams fought again, and in the 67th minute, Lazio launched an attack, Felipe Anderson rushed to send a diagonal pass, because of Mobile's flash and continuous passing, Isaksen's low shot was trampled and fouled by Yu Parmecano!
The referee gave a red dot, and Bayern responded with 10 men!
On paper, Bayern's entire team is worth 976 million euros, far exceeding Lazio's 242 million euros, but the Bundesliga hegemons in this game do not seem to show the unity and fighting spirit that they should have in the Champions League, which is in stark contrast to the Lazio players who are struggling to defend and attack and strive for victory.
Bayern then struggled to find a good opportunity, with Leroy Sane and Musiala behind Kane not working well and being frequently blocked by their opponents.
As the referee blew the whistle, the game ended, and finally Lazio, who is currently 7th in Serie A, defeated the Bundesliga hegemon Bayern Munich 1-0 at home and successfully took the first leg first!
In this game, Bayern almost replicated the same problem as the 0-3 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen in the last round of the Bundesliga, with empty possession but a lack of effective offensive coordination, resulting in loopholes in the team's attack and defense, and it is clear that the players have not yet come out of the last defeat.
It was also after this crucial title game that Muller publicly criticised the team for not playing well, Kane was disappointed with the team's performance, and Tuchel felt that the players did not play well, and there is a lot of controversy in the Bayern team at the moment.
The poor morale and personal condition of the whole team made Bayern suffer two consecutive defeats in all competitions, and lost the only important matches on the two fronts of the Bundesliga and Champions League in four consecutive days......
Judging from the 90-minute performance of this game, Bayern really did not deserve to win, with 17 shots on goal but 0 shots on target, while Lazio had 11 shots on goal and 4 shots on target.
Looking at Bayern's recent games, the most strange thing is that this team seems to be in a separate situation when attacking, and I don't know if it is the arrangement of manager Tuchel to let the players play individually on the field.
In short, as soon as the team gets the ball and attacks, it doesn't seem to have those skillful routines. Musiala, Sane, Muller and others took the ball as if possessed by the king of the ball, trying to break the opponent's defense with their own strength, only Kane in front always waited for the cooperation of his teammates.
At first, who would have thought that Kane would encounter such an embarrassing predicament for the team in his first season at Bayern, and it may be that he will not be crowned this season and the end of 11 consecutive Bundesliga titles.
However, with Bayern's strong team, if the follow-up can be adjusted in time, there is still hope for the Bundesliga and the Champions League!
