When it rains, it pours. Bayern Munich lose for the second straight game, this time dropping the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16 tie against Italian side SS Lazio. A 1-0 deficit awaits in Munich in March. The pressure mounts on Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel.
Night turned to day for the quality of Bayern's build-up. Joshua Kimmich was back as the No. 6, and two full-backs with technical quality (Raphaël Guerreiro, Noussair Mazraoui) were responsible for wide combinations instead of center-backs. Maurizio Sarri's side also did not press as aggressively as Leverkusen - allowing Bayern to create much more space and get the ball into the opposition third.
