Lazio-Bayern 1-0
“If we think it's impossible to beat them, we've already… lost,” the coach said ahead of the match. Lazio Maurizio Sarri and his players in the first half saw him thinking correctly.
At the start of the race Bayern With “good morning” she showed her mentality by having two great chances in the first quarter (Kimich 2', Kane 7'), Lazio tried to find an antidote and won from 20', but not for long.. . The home side gained a few yards up the pitch as Luis Alberto's excellent shot missed the target.
However, in the last quarter, German possession returned to the Olimpico as Sane wasted another good chance in the 32nd minute and Musiala managed to send the ball over the penalty area in the 40th minute, missing the goal. It remained 0-0 at half-time.
Lazio came into the second half in a different mood and missed a big chance of their own with Isakson in the 48th minute when he was beaten into the back of the net by Neuer.
The match was more even with the Italians winning a penalty in the 67th minute and Ubemecanos being sent off. Immobile saw his counter shot go to Isakson, who missed the shot, but Upamecano, who was on his watch, hit his steady leg too badly.

As the draw for the round of 16 was made, all eyes were on…the Paris star who was drawn second. Real Sociedad.
A 2-0 final win by the French at the Parc des Princes might make a non-competitor think the predictions were justified, but the reality was otherwise.
The Basques stood their ground with dignity ParisHowever the individual quality of Enrique's players gave them a clear lead to qualify for the last 8.
After Sociedad threatened Andre Silva in the first seconds and saw the home team's burst halted by Remiro (an impressive tackle in the Mbappe box), they started moving the ball again and were very dangerous.
Paris, on the other hand, tried to exploit the gaps and speed of their attacking midfielders, but luck smiled on them in the 45th minute when Merino grabbed a shot from outside the area and the ball hit the crossbar.
Back from the locker room, the match took on a different picture as Paris were more confident on the field and after wasting a few chances in the 58th minute, it was 1-0. From the corner, Marquinhos took a header and (who else?) Mbappe opened the scoring with a close-range shot.
The Basques trailed 1-0, making a 2-0 save in the 64th minute (Ebappe took a fingertip shot and Remiro sent it onto the post) but it didn't happen in the 70th minute. Barkola set up Traer with a terrific dribble, beating Remiro with a spot kick to make it 2-0…
