Lazio striker Ciro Immobile, who made it 1-0 in the first meeting, wasted a great chance at 0-0 after 36 minutes. After that, it was mostly about the German team, who came into the game with one win in their last five games.
The weak results have already had consequences. Recently it became clear that coach Thomas Tuchel is leaving the club after the season. There are ten points up to league leader Leverkusen in the domestic series, and in the cup Bayern Munich is eliminated.
The Bayern team will probably not win their 12th straight league gold in Germany, but the hope of a new triumph in the Champions League is alive and well.
