Ciro Immobile led Lazio to a 1-0 victory over Bayern Munich in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16.
Immobile, the Italian forward, secured the win with a penalty in the 69th minute.
This victory puts Lazio on the path to their first quarter-final appearance in the Champions League in 24 years, igniting hope among their passionate home crowd.
The match took a dramatic turn when Gustav Isaksen was fouled by Dayot Upamecano, resulting in a red card for the Bayern defender.
With a man down for the last 20 minutes, Bayern struggled to regain control of the game.
Immobile’s goal further compounded Bayern’s troubles, leaving them in a precarious position for the second leg.
Lazio last reached the quarter-finals in 2000 when they unfortunately lost to Valencia.
To replicate that success, Maurizio Sarri’s side will need to hold their ground in Bavaria next month.
However, Bayern’s recent slump and toothless display in Rome have raised concerns for coach Thomas Tuchel.
Tuchel, despite denying any concerns about his future, acknowledged the team’s poor performance.
Bayern’s hopes for a trophy this season now hang in the balance.
Star striker Harry Kane acknowledged that Bayern is going through a tough spell but remains optimistic.
He believes that with determination and a spark of brilliance, they can turn their fortunes around.
