The Champions League Round of 16 continues with intensity and drama.
The two games that went down on Wednesday, February 15, were as dramatic as possible with the underdogs, Lazio, defeating the Bundesliga-reigning champion Bayern Munich.
Paris Saint-Germain brought their winning run from Ligue 1 to the Champions League with a big win over Real Sociedad.
10-Man Bayern Munich Lost to Lazio in the Champions League Round of 16 First Leg
Ciro Immobile scored from the penalty spot in the 69th minute of the match to give Lazio an advantage over German Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16.
Immobile converted a penalty after Dayot Upamecano unnecessarily brought down Lazio’s attacker, Gustav Isaksen, in the 18-yard box.
After that, the French international was sent off, leaving Bayern Munich to play the rest of the minute with 10 men.
Throughout the match, Bayern Munich's attackers struggled to record a shot on target.
Despite starting well in the game, Harry Kane and Leroy Sane missed beautiful chances to put the ball in the back of the net.
The Italian side, which lost 6-2 to Bayern Munich in 2021, came close to a goal with a Luis Alberto's shot from outside the post.
There was a reduction in energy for Bayern Munich, who waited until the 40th minute to have another attempt at goal with Jamal Musiala's shot.
Earlier in the second half, Lazio attacker Isaken found himself in a one-on-one situation with Manuel Neuer, but the experienced goalkeeper stood his ground to stop the ball from going into the net.
Bayern Munich are expected to qualify for the next round of the Champions League when Lazio travel to Allianz Arena on March 5, 2024.

Kylian Mbappe had the first goal attempt, but it was saved by Real Sociedad goalkeeper Alex Remiro.
Paris Saint-Germain got the breakthrough in the 58th minute of the match through Kylian Mbappe, who was exceptional in the game.
