The evenings that matter are back, those dreamy ones with open eyes, where you can see the stars. However, these are not the ones in the sky, but those drawn on the Champions League ball that is rolling again at the Olimpico on Valentine's night.
At the Foro Italico stadium, Lazio faces Bayern Munich for the first leg of the round of 16. Maurizio Sarri places his hopes in the most important players of the team, those who need to shake off a bit of rust and show their centrality: Ciro Immobile and Felipe Anderson. The two have played below expectations in recent months and, on a night like tomorrow, they need to shine among the stars again.
Lazio continues to do without Mattia Zaccagni, who is not in the best condition and is training alone at Formello. Doubt also in midfield, where Vecino could return as a starter after being used as a reserve in the championship.
Lazio-Bayern Munich takes place tomorrow at 9:00 pm Italian time. The match is available live on all enabled smart TVs that support Amazon Video. The game, in fact, is exclusive to Amazon which broadcasts the images of the Champions League night in streaming.
The refereeing team of Lazio-Bayern is French, with François Letexier leading the match. In his career, he has refereed a total of 295 matches, 152 of which in Ligue 1, 11 in the Champions League and 13 in the Europa League. So far he has waved 1106 yellow cards, just under 4 per game. The penalties awarded, instead, are 103 with an average of one penalty conceded every 3 games (2.8). The assistants are Cyril Mugnier and Mehdi Rahmouni. Stephanie Frappart is the fourth official of the match, while in the Var room there are Herome Brisard and Willy Delajod.
Lazio and Bayern have only met twice in their history. The results are both in favor of the Bavarians who won in the 2020/2021 season 4-1 at the Olimpico and 2-1 in Germany. Six goals in total conceded by the biancocelesti who have two active against Muller and company.
