On Tuesday will see two top European teams in Bayern Munich and Lazio go head to head in the first leg of their last-16 knockout fixture in the UEFA Champions League. Italian Serie A side Lazio finished second in their Champions League group stage, behind German Bundesliga outfit Borussia Dortmund in Group F. Their second-place finish ensured that Lazio sealed qualification to the knockout stages of the European competition for the first time since the year 2000.

“Bayern Munich on the other hand comfortable topped their group (A) after yet another remarkable Champions League group stage campaign. Lazio started their season on a rather slow note but have moved into the top four after their 1-0 win over Sampdoria on Saturday. The league clash was one they won deservedly after taking total control of the game, only they could not find enough space to score more than the one goal they scored.

Bayern Munich defender Mats Hummels has backed Jurgen Klopp to come good with Liverpool despite their slow start to the Premier League season.

The Reds have won just one of their last four league games, and this sees them placed seventh on the table with just 12 points.

The Merseyside outfit are already seven points adrift of joint-leaders Manchester City and Manchester United, and Klopp is currently under threat of losing his job, should their lean streak continue after the international break.
