Lazio will be back on the field against Bayern Munich in just over two weeks for the return match of the Champions League round of 16. The situation seems to favor the Biancocelesti, given the recent results of the Bavarian club. After the slip-up against Immobile and his teammates, who won 1-0 at the Stadio Olimpico, the Germans were defeated in the Bundesliga, allowing Bayer Leverkusen to extend their lead at the top of the table. Against Bochum, in fact, they suffered a 3-2 defeat, with Upamecano causing, yet again, a penalty kick and also receiving a red card.

At Odds with the Dressing Room

The tense situation has not only affected the results, but also the happiness of the dressing room. As reported by Patrick Strasser, a journalist for Abendzeitung, Joshua Kimmich had a face-to-face confrontation with a member of Tuchel's technical staff. The midfielder, in fact, did not appreciate being substituted at the 63' and for this reason, he had a dispute with Zslot Löw.

Tuchel Stays

Many have speculated about Thomas Tuchel's departure from the bench, but this rumor has been denied. According to Sky Sport Deutschland, Bayern Munich has no intention of dismissing the former Chelsea coach. He, for his part, does not want to resign and wants to continue on the Bavarian club's bench in the coming weeks. The German coach, in fact, believes he can turn things around and therefore wants to remain in charge of the club.
