FC Bayern can plan for the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

The Munich team won their round of 16 first leg at Lazio Rom with 4: 1 (3: 0) After only one point from two games in the Bundesliga, Hansi Flick's team convinced in all respects.

Against completely overwhelmed Romans, Bayern decided the game after half an hour.

The second leg in Munich on March 17th is only a matter of form.

Flick had to do without Thomas Müller, Serge Gnabry and Corentin Tolisso.

Bayern traveled to Italy with the last contingent.

But Flick could again rely on Leon Goretzka, who had survived his corona infection.

The national player took over the game and became the best player of the evening.

But he did not experience much resistance from Lazio - what the Romans offered was not worthy of a round of 16 participant in the Champions League.

Defender Mateo Musacchio made a serious mistake after just nine minutes.

The Argentine put the ball on for Rober Lewandowski, who easily pushed him into the early Bayern lead.

In the 24th minute, Jamal Musiala was allowed to lay the ball undisturbed in the Italian penalty area and carefully shoot it flat into the corner to make it 2-0.

This made the 17-year-old the youngest goalscorer in Bayern's Champions League history.

Lazio was also involved in Munich's third goal.

After the Italian lost the ball in midfield, Kingsley Coemann made the game fast and hung up for Leroy Sané.

The national player had no trouble making it 3-0 from close range (42nd).

The half-time whistle must have felt like a relief to Rome.

But things didn't get any better for the hosts in the second half either.

Francesco Acerbi steered a Sané cross to 4-0 into his own goal (46th).

The 1: 4 by Joaquin Correa was no more than a cosmetic result (49th).

Bayern demonstrated their strength in the second half by keeping their opponents at a distance and not doing more than necessary.
