ROME, Feb 15, (AP): High and wide. Headers and half-volleys. Free kicks and more.
No matter what Bayern Munich tried, the German club simply couldn’t find the goal.
None of Bayern’s 16 shots were on target in a 1-0 loss at Lazio in the first leg of the Champions League’s round of 16.
Four days after a damaging loss in the Bundesliga, Bayern again didn’t meet expectations.
Lazio captain Ciro Immobile converted a penalty kick when Bayern was reduced to 10 men midway through the second half after the German club failed to capitalize on a series of chances.

“It’s been a tough week,” Bayern striker Harry Kane said. “We started well and had some clear chances. I had one, Jamal (Musiala) had one, Josh (Kimmich) had one from the edge of the box. In these games, those are big moments which we weren’t able to take.”
Kane was set up by Thomas Müller directly in front of the goal seven minutes in but missed high with a half-volley.

“They’re the ones you want and I just leaned back,” Kane said. “That’s football and part of being a striker: you’re going to miss them now and again. The main thing for me and the team is to focus on the next challenge. We’re in a difficult spell, there’s no hiding that. We’re not out of it and we’ll never give up. One spark can change a lot and we need to try to find that.”
Together with the 3-0 defeat at Bayer Leverkusen, the result puts pressure on Bayern and coach Thomas Tuchel ahead of the return leg March 5.
