Bayern Munich resume their Champions League campaign in Rome on Wednesday as they take on a Lazio side while looking to make amends.
A heavy 3-0 loss at Bundesliga leader Bayer Leverkusen was the worst possible preparation for Harry Kane & Co., though they know that another defeat on the road would be disastrous.
Lazio, meanwhile, welcome the Bavarian to Italy off the back of a victory and ready for only their third ever Champions League knockout tie.
