Lazio 1 \u2013 4 Bayern Munich<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe German champions have one foot in the UEFA Champions League quarter finals after thrashing Lazio away from home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bayern got off to a fast start and took the lead less than 10 minutes into the game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Robert Lewandowski capitalized on an under hit back pass before rounding the keeper and slotting home the first goal of the match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jamal Musiala got himself on the scoresheet after 24 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 17-year-old latched on to a pass from Joaqu\u00edn Correa before driving the ball home from just outside the area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A dream moment for the teenager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the brink of half-time Leroy Sane put the game to bed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The former Manchester City winger pounced after Lazio \u2018keeper Pepe Reina parried a shot directly into his path. Bayern headed into half-time with a massive lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Two minutes into the second half the game and tie appeared to be over. Sane was again involved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The German international crossed in from the left side and the ball was deflected into the net by Lazio defender, Francesco Acerbi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A couple minutes later Lazio got themselves a goal and a potential lifeline. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Joaqu\u00edn Correa scored perhaps the best goal of the game when he dribbled through several Bayern defenders before poking home to make it 1-4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After 49 minutes the goals dried up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lazio now have a mountain to climb when they travel away for the second leg of this UEFA Champion League last 16 tie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bayern will be confident they have done enough to continue their defence of the title they won last season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/HOa4htWyzxo\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
