Harry Kane will miss Bayern Munich's final game of the season with a back injury - less than a week before Gareth Southgate announces his
Lazio ground out a 1-0 win over Bayern Munich in an attritional affair at the Stadio Olimpico in the last 16 of the Champions League.
Bayern were unable to find the breakthrough they expected against a resolute Lazio side, who were well organised by Maurizio Sarri.
It was a frustrating night for Harry Kane and the pressure is piling on Thomas Tuchel after another abject performance and result.
Leroy Sane showed promise on the right wing for Bayern but they have a lot to improve on before the second leg in Germany in March.
Here are Mail Sport’s player ratings from the clash.
Manuel Neuer – 6
Smothered an Isaksen chance well early in the second half after rushing off his line but conceded the penalty. Hardly involved otherwise as Lazio only hit the target four times.
Noussair Mazraoui – 6.5
Provided welcome width in a compact contest and linked up well with Sane on the right. Regularly threatened on the overlap but lacked end product.
Dayot Upamecano – 4
Gave away a penalty for stepping on Isaksen and was duly sent off after 67 minutes. Had gifted a chance earlier in the half when dispossessed by Luis Alberto. Was generally assured but a night to forget for wild moments
Lazio ratings
Ivan Provedel 6.5; Adam Marusic 6, Mario Gila 6.5, Alessio Romagnoli 6, Elseid Hysaj 7; Matteo Guendouzi 7.5, Danilo Cataldi 7, Romero Luis Alberto 6.5; Gustav Isaksen 6.5; Ciro Immobile 7.5; Felipe Anderson 7.5
Kim Min-jae – 6.5
Kept his head in an intense atmosphere and looked unflustered on the ball. Produced a vital late block to deny Felipe Anderson.
Raphael Guerreiro – 6
Defended well when Lazio tried to overload him down the left flank and was wary against counter-attacks. Didn’t offer as much going forward as Mazraoui.
Leon Goretzka – 5
Looked sluggish on and off the ball despite his efforts. Seemed a step behind – clumsily brought down Isaksen early on. Hooked in the second half.
Joshua Kimmich – 6
Was Lazio’s favourite plaything to foul, but that is testament to his attempts to get on the ball. Not enough cutting edge but confident enough.
Leroy Sane – 6.5
The only shining light for Bayern on a yawn-worthy night. Had ideas when Lazio sat deep and blistering pace on the counter. Whistled a free-kick past the post.
Thomas Muller – 5
Went missing for periods of the game. Had flashes of a connection with Kane but looked off the pace.
Jamal Musiala – 5.5
Wasn’t afforded the space to exploit his speed. Showed some good trickery floating inside and had a good first-half chance blocked.
Harry Kane – 5
A frustrating night against an obdurate defence. Snapped at an early chance, skying it first-time, and didn’t get much of a sniff besides a header over the bar. Slipped at a late free-kick and hit the wall. Thomas Tuchel’s words about Bayern needing to supply him better were prescient – and not carried out.
Subs:
De Ligt (Goretzka, 73′) – 6
Shored things up at a moment when Bayern could have been shaky after Upamecano’s dismissal.
Choupo-Moting on for Muller (81′) – 6
Tel on for Sane (81′) – 5
