21:52 FT: Lazio 1-0 Bayern Munich!

Not a single shot on target from the Germans!

21:48 Save on Pedro

A promising Lazio counter-attack, it was laid off for Pedro, who cut inside the defenders, but the finish was straight at Neuer!

21:47 Into 5 minutes of stoppages

21:45 Felipe Anderson chance!

Felipe Anderson should’ve just hit that first time after the through ball released him, instead he wanted an extra touch and allowed Kim Min-jae to make the block!

21:43 Another Bayern corner

An unnecessary one, because the Choupo-Moting header was nowhere near the target, the defence panicked. Provedel captured the corner, though.

21:42 Kane free kick deflected

Kane slipped when taking that free kick, it still earned a corner coming off the wall.

21:39 Kane shot blocked

Kane from outside the box, easy block for Lazzari.

21:37 Bayern changes

Choupo-Moting and Tel on, Sane and Muller off

21:36 Lazio changes

Kamada and Patric on, Luis Alberto and the injured Gila off.

21:35 Why Upamecano was sent off

21:33 Bayern threaten

Musiala cross to the back post, Mazraoui acrobatically tries and fails to keep it in at the by-line.

21:30 Lazio 1-0 Bayern Munich

21:29 Lazio change

21:29 Change

De Ligt on for Goretzka

21:28 PSG 2-0 Real Sociedad

Barcola

21:25 Lazio 1-0 Bayern Munich: Ciro Immobile!

Perfect penalty! Kept his cool, sent Neuer down and rolled it into the near bottom corner with the inside of the right boot!

21:23 LAZIO PENALTY AND RED CARD

Wow! Immobile mazy run through three defenders, rolls it across to Isaksen, who scuffs wide after Upamecano absolutely smashes him studs-up on the inside of the ankle! Penalty and red card for Upamecano! Kimmich also booked for dissent.

21:21 Bayern threaten

A well-worked move down the right, but Guendouzi gets back and makes the block from six yards, drawing the foul from Mazraoui.

21:16 Lazio change

Lazzari on, Hysaj off at the 59th minute. So Marusic swaps over to left-back.

21:15 PSG 1-0 Real Sociedad

Kylian Mbappe’ – who else?

21:15 Hysaj in pain

Hysaj received two knocks to the ankle in the last five minutes and he’s struggling. Looks like he has to come off.

21:14 Kane over

Muller cross almost on the volley, which makes it very high and Kane can only nod over.

21:12 Bayern with a lot of the ball

Jeering from the Olimpico crowd as Bayern move the ball around, but they’re doing it so slowly that it isn’t having much of an effect on Lazio.

21:09 Not great

Kimmich corner is not great, then Mazraoui effort from distance charged down.

21:08 Bayern corner

Long period of Bayern passing ends in a corner, Gila intercepts the roll across the six-yard box with two players waiting behind him.

21:05 Lazio win a corner

Better from Lazio, better!

21:04 Neuer save!

Isaksen sent clear by an inspired Luis Alberto through ball, first touch was good, but the finish straight at on-rushing Neuer!

21:01 2nd half kicks off: Lazio 0-0 Bayern Munich

21:00 Also 0-0 in the other game

PSG and Real Sociedad are also goalless at the break.

20:51 Not bad

20:46 Half-Time: Lazio 0-0 Bayern Munich

Only one shot was actually on target, and it was a Romagnoli header.

20:46 Lazio counter

Guendouzi surges away, combines with Isaksen and then the shot is charged down. Immobile was screaming for the ball.

20:43 Immobile chance

Guendouzi sends Isaksen down the right, pull back is just behind Immobile, he can’t stretch enough to reach it. Was in a great position.

20:40 Bayern chance!

Now that really is a big chance! Two back-heel flicks in the build-up on the edge of the area, sent Musiala through, Provedel rushed off his line to make himself big and it worked, as the finish was over the bar!

20:39 Slight scare

Provedel pass out from the back intercepted by Kane, but then offside flag is up.

20:38 Isaksen off target

Isaksen cuts inside from the right and fires left-footed over the bar. Only one shot on target so far – and it was Lazio’s.

20:36 Musiala threatens

Musiala sprints down the left, pulls back from the by-line for Kane, but Luis Alberto is back there to intercept.

20:32 Bayern chance

Very complicated free kick routine not far outside the area, eventually Sane’ drills it not far wide at all!

20:30 Upamecano over

Dayot Upamecano blasts over from distance after a long passing move, which included a pretty spectacular Goretzka dive that the referee did not fall for.

20:28 It’s pretty even so far

Bayern started so aggressive, but that confidence has seemingly dissipated already.

20:25 Muller not happy

Thinks he was fouled on the counter, but was offside anyway.

20:22 Luis Alberto chance

Great period of possession from Lazio culminates in Luis Alberto scorcher not at all far wide of the near top corner from the edge of the area!

20:20 Good Lazio defending

Musiala blocked off as he runs into the box, then big cheer as Immobile high press wins the ball back.

20:18 Romagnoli header

Lazio corner, Romagnoli header easy enough for Neuer.

20:13 Stadio Olimpico

20:11 Vecino out in warm-up

20:11 Bayern corner

Kim header wide on the Bayern Munich corner.

20:07 Kane chance

After the Lazio free kick comes to very little, Muller volleys it back from the right and Kane balloons over from a very promising position.

20:05 Late change for Lazio

Matias Vecino was in doubt and he pulled out in the warm-up, replaced by Cataldi.

20:03 Kimmich wide

Sane pulls back from the right, Kimmich fires wide from the edge of the area.

20:00 FT: Bologna 2-0 Fiorentina

19:57 Bologna 2-0 Fiorentina: Jens Odgaard!

19:53 Into 5 minutes of stoppages

Saelemaekers and Oroslini off, Ndoye and Lykogiannis on

19:38 Fiorentina miss!

A very long move with numerous crosses is concluded with an Nzola header off target from six yards! And he looked offside, too.

19:35 Orsolini wide

Orsolini one-on-one, hits the side-netting.

19:33 Subs

Fabbian replaces Aebischer, Nzola on for Nico Gonzalez

19:31 Fiorentina chance

Biraghi free kick bounces in front of Ravaglia, who parries just about – with his chest more than his hands.

19:29 Fiorentina threaten

Kayode roll across for Beltran, block by Beukema, then Belotti wins a free kick just outside the box.

19:26 Bologna chance

That is a free header for Beukema over the bar from Orsolini’s corner!

19:26 Bologna corner

19:14 Fiorentina goal-line clearance!

18:59 POLL

18:57 Lazio vs. Bayern Munich

18:55 Lazio vs. Bayern Munich line-ups

Lazio: Provedel; Marusic, Gila, Romagnoli, Hysaj; Guendouzi, Vecino, Luis Alberto; Isaksen, Immobile, Felipe Anderson

Bayern Munich: Neuer; Mazraoui, Kim, Upamecano, Guerreiro; Kimmich, Goretzka; Sané, Müller, Musiala; Kane

Riccardo Orsolini with the goal, his second disallowed for Posch offside.

18:51 Lazio arrive

18:50 Ouch again

Nico Gonzalez lands heavily on his back after being pushed… by Milenkovic.

18:49 Ouch

High Zirkzee foot, didn’t realise Ranieri was there and accidentally booted him in the nose.

18:48 Zirkzee run

Zirkzee rides one tackle from Ranieri, but not the second.

18:40 DISALLOWED

That’s fair, Posch grazed it and no doubt influenced Terracciano.

18:40 VAR

That means Posch did NOT touch the ball, but he was offside. So is he interfering with play? He grazed it with his hair, it’s impossible to argue he wasn’t…

18:38 Checking for offside

Need to check whether Posch was offside and if he was interfering with play, if he did not touch it.

18:37 Bologna 2-0 Fiorentina: Riccardo Orsolini!

Orsolini curls the free kick, it does NOT touch the head of Posch and bounces straight in!

18:35 Milenkovic booked

Milenkovic booked for the earlier rugby tackle on Zirkzee, but then Bologna earn a free kick just outside the area.

18:34 Orsonaldo

18:26 Zirkzee wide

What a game this is. Zirkzee drills surprisingly wide of the near post after shimmying away from defenders.

18:25 Double Bologna chance

Kayode error this time, Saelemaekers runs forward, stings the goalkeeper’s gloves from outside the box and then Orsolini balloons the rebound over.

18:24 Mandragora blasts over

Kayode robs Zirkzee to spark a counter, Mandragora fires just off target from distance.

18:23 Orsolini

18:17 Fiorentina appeals

Fiorentina penalty appeals for Nico Gonzalez being caught, but a foul was given against Belotti first.

18:14 Save on Bonaventura

Scorcher from the edge of the box beaten away for a corner by Ravaglia.

18:12 Bologna 1-0 Fiorentina: Riccardo Orsolini!

Cross-field Fergusin pass, sprints down the right, cuts inside Biraghi and this time rolls a snooker shot into the far bottom corner with the left boot!

18:11 Orsolini off target

Orsolini runs down the right, cuts inside and curls wide of the far post from the edge of the area. End to end stuff!

18:11 Nico Gonzalez wide

Nico Gonzalez also strikes the side-netting after a well-worked move down the left.

18:09 Bologna bite back

Orsolini rolls it across the face of goal, Saelemaekers puts it back in from the other flank and Zirkzee tries a back-heel flick from six yards, but misses the ball! You are allowed a tap-in…

18:07 Strong Fiorentina start

Very aggressive in these opening minutes, Ikone hits the side-netting after a through ball.
