Jose m:

Lazio 0-3 Bayern in the first 45 min 😂

Siddharth Dave:

The current Bayern form shows just how important Thomas Muller is to us.

Young Heartthrob:

They miss Mueller badly ... very badly.

Jonas:

If the Champions League comes Bayern is there

robert drowny:

Muller's brain and connecting ability is rare in world football. He is big miss.

Tim Filipiuk:

As long as Sule doesn’t play out wide, Bayern got this easy. 4-2 on aggregate

David Smith:

That marcotti guy never has anything good to say about bayern for years now.

Ryan S:

Gabs hates Bayern so bad, I dont even take what he says about them seriously. He has a point here but he has never talked well about them and never will.

traveler daksh:

Hold on a second bayern will win it champions league is a different motivation

Claude Makelele:

Bayern haven't lost in the UCL in over a year. Their last lost was to Liverpool I think. They will beat Lazio easily.

Falcon Ranger311:

People don't realise, Müller is indispensable and too important for the team. And Boateng/Alaba combo has been utter trash but Flick keep on preferring over Süle/Lucas. Upset is really on the card.

Crockett and Tubbs:

They are the favorites. But if they play like they did against Frankfurt, Lazio has got a shot of winning the first leg. They will desperately need Savic to be at the top of his game.

nicholas gakuu:

this shadow of themselves team just smashed lazio...what will happen to teams if they are in form?.

Angie Wiedenkeller:

Would hardly say Bayern are a shadow of their former selves ...

Charles Klepac:

There is a reason Müller is called Raumdeuter. The attacking brain was missing. I’ll take the w though. Pack mas❤️💙🤍

lucky luke:

apocalipsa lazio:)

Jordan Edwards:

3-0 first half🥶

RollsReus:

I'm genuinely scared of this matchup. But, it seems that Bayern can have stark differences in form, comparing bundesliga to UCL.

Der Kaiser:

i’m not saying we’re gonna win this match but every match is different
the last match is irrelevant because if you watched watched the frankfurt game, bayern created so many chances but just weren’t clinical
it’s fine margins at this level of football and people don’t understand that whoever shows up on the night is who’s gonna win, not necessarily the better team

Critic one:

Turtle boteang n sule .. disaster

Andy S:

if the defense plays well they should be fine but if they leak an early goal Lazio is disgusting on the counter and defend well as a team

Denton Speid:

Bayern frankfurt was just a bait up for champion league....you will see the difference tomorrow

Wanjoplang Motivation:

This year 2021 is a chance for Juventus & Ronaldo😍😍

habshabsrule:

Going for the shock upset. Immobile with both goals 2-1

Senate Shakya:

The currently most important outfield player at Bayern isn’t RL9 (which most might think.)
Its one Thomas Muller. It doesn’t seem like it but he is the one who dictates Bayern’s gameplay.

Robert Alarcon:

Not to disrespect Byern or anything but I can see Byern ending like Liverpool and Barcelona like winning everything and then slowly declining but hope that Byern can fix there problems quick to get back on track to winning ways especially for the champions coming up

TheOne777:

I have noticed Bayern play with inverted wingers now , which isn't as good when they had old fashioned wingers running in behind the defense in coman and gnabry. Sane on the right is ineffective because of how he makes his runs, his body feint style dribbing and speed, same with gnabry on the left and coman on the right. This is why they are struggling scoring goals as well, the way they played with wingers last season is similar to 17/18 season man city with sane and sterling, which will get you more goals then relying on cutting inside and curling a shot...

Sascha _GER:

Gab and stevie xd. Bayern wins end of discussion

2 1:

Bayern will win once their defense is on point

deutschland München:

the last visite in Rome is 7_1 Mia san Mia

Shiv Sai:

They will beat them 10 -0 or something guys

Zuko FNM:

If they play like UCL Bayern they will prob win 5-2 or something but if they play like Bundesliga Bayern they will get ROLLED by savic, immobile, lazzari. correa., and alberto

Albert Cardenas:

Müeller the space interpreter

The Wumpus:

This will be tough for Bayern since Muller and Gnabry are out, but I think this Bayern will win 2-1.

Sledge Dog:

The biggest mistake people like Gab Marcotti do is by judging Bayern on their Bundesliga form😆, before Tottenham and Chelsea matches they struggled against Paderborn and Gladbach too. Bayern takes Ucl very seriously and is a different beast there, even though Lazio got a chance.

Kiril Mihaylov:

This guy is a Lazio fan .

Piotr Marcinkiewicz:

Lazi got whooped and these so called experts thought Bayern would have a problem. Bayern will be champions again!!!!

B Ceesay:

Manchester City should capitalise on winning the champions league this season because all other big teams are shambles this season including Bayern. Bayern are no where near as good as they were last season in terms squad depth

Fuerte Farmer:

My lineup for Bayern
Gnabry Lewa
Coman Musiala Kimich Sane
Davis Alaba Boateng Pavard
Neuer

Vedant Panse:

We will lose 2 1 and we will win 3 0 at allianz
Lol omg 4-1

Hayden Gutierrez:

lazio goes through 2-0 win at home then 1-1 draw at bayern's turf

jayant 19:

Miss Thomas

wOaH:

lol

xtraclass football analyst:

Its funny how clueless Marcotti is, when it comes to Bayern. Has no clue at all. They got the best player in the world. Its not Messi...

Nipan vlog:

Lazio is long were for playing chances champion league that's is more important game very difficult 😂😂😂😂

Sledge Dog:

Came back here to laugh at clowns like Gab Marcotti, a notorious Bayern haters. Haters keep hating, doubters keep doubting, Bayern keeps thrashing🤫.

Perfect Champions:

Lazio will win. Knock us out as well.

Mat J:

Bayern in disarray, might be tough for them

Ahmed the Infidel:

Im worried about our defense.

AlphA RitviK:

imo lazio can actually beat bayern. if immobile turns up then lazio might actually win

WhySoSrs?:

Lazio and atalanta are both going through.

chistitan:

Penalty merchant lewandowski vs penalty merchant imobile

Huitribe Wang:

Lazio 1-3 Bayern

Neymar the golden boy:

Bayern might lose the first leg but will go through on aggregate after big home win.

Cristiano Goatnaldo:

Bayern is winning Imao

Geovani Mejia Jr:

No Muller no party

V C:

I feel like Bayern will barely beat Lazio and then go out in the QF if they face a top team.

Mat Teo:

The best team in the world and you fans are whining and crying about one player missing. Pathetic. Lazio are the underdogs and miss two defenders, which is their weakest spot.

Dodi Aguswandi:

Two different competition, yes anything can happen but even the best team at serie A not even play at UCL

Christiano Pulinaldo:

Lazio will 100% win the 2nd leg

KIhairil Amirul Imran:

Lazio 3-1 Bayern
Bayern 0-4 Lazio

Suffer the Italian defensive counterattack.

Hello My Friend:

In my opinion bayern will lose against Lazio in the first leg and they will recover in the second leg.

Penis Man:

No one cares about farmers league fc

Rohit Rawat:

Lazio will beat Bayern in first leg, still Bayern will bounce back in 2nd leg and will go through.

Bernardinho 50:

I love watching Bayern München getting defeated. It's my daily medicine, my weekly energy, my monthly inspiration and my yearly motivation. Bayern München getting defeated 2-1 by Eintracht Frankfurt is the only reason why I still get satisfaction from my life. I was born to love and enjoy every failure that Bayern München achieves.
