MUNICH
Ends the adventure of all the Italian teams in the Champions League which also promotes Chelsea who overturned (2-0) the defeat of Madrid with Atletico. The adventure of Lazio ends, eliminated in the round of 16 by Bayern Munich after the 2-1 in the second leg in Bavaria, thanks to Lewandowski’s goal from a penalty in the first half, and the doubling of Choupo-Moting in the second, goal of the flag in the final thanks to Parolo.
On the other hand, the fate of the Biancocelesti was marked by the first leg played at the Olimpico two weeks ago, when the Germans had mortgaged the qualification with a wide 4-1 that left no way out. Inzaghi’s team arrived in Germany already beaten and with the head of the championship, where it will have to work hard to reach the goal of returning to play the Champions League again next year (on Sunday against Udinese with the doubts Fares and Lazzari, yesterday released due to injury). Immobile remains at rest on the bench, not showing up for the appointment with Lewandowski, who may have lost the challenge for the golden shoe with the Neapolitan but has retaliated against Lazio.
In the first leg the Pole had opened the scoring, in the return he was repeated by signing the 1-0 in the 33rd minute on a penalty kick, granted by the Romanian referee Kovacs for the embrace of Muriqi to Goretzka in the area. However, the biancocelesti had not started the game badly, on the contrary they had become dangerous with the chances of Correa and Milinkovic-Savic. In the second half, Lewandowski takes the chair again. Great chance at the opening of the second half, with a conclusion saved by Reina. Then the striker goes a step away from the brace twenty minutes from the end, but hits an incredible post that saves Lazio. Bayern’s doubling came in the 28th minute and was scored by Choupo-Moting, who took over from Lewandowski for two minutes. The meager consolation in the final, with the goal in the 37th minute of the veteran Parolo to greet the Biancocelesti’s adventure in the Champions League. Bayern, on the other hand, are expected in the draws for the quarter-finals on Friday. –
