Giordano: Lazio can beat Bayern Munich; players must realise how lucky they are

Lazio great Bruno Giordano insists they're capable of upsetting Bayern Munich.

The two clubs meet in the first-leg of their Champions League round 16 tie tomorrow night.

Giordano told Radiosei: "With the Lazio shirt, I missed the chance to play matches of this level, like the one tomorrow against Bayern Munich. Mine was a poor club from an economic point of view, it would have been wonderful to have been able to do it but it wasn't possible.

"I hold on to what was and what I did. In my years at Lazio, matches there have been few of great depth, we lived through years in which we were always fighting for a comfortable ranking.

"With Vinicio we went to the UEFA Cup, that was the best. I have consistently followed Bayern Munich lately, watching them play I noticed elements of vulnerability. From a gaming point of view they are in difficulty, seeing them second in the standings, five points behind first has an effect.

"In the last 4-5 games, even when they won they had difficulties. Maybe they made a mistake in their winter preparation, now they seem on their feet. The only ones who are up to the task seem to me to be Sane and Musiala."
