Lazio coach Maurizio Sarri said his
only regret was that his side did not inflict even more pain on
Bayern Munich after seeing them beat the German giants 1-0 at
Rome's Stadio Olimpico on Wednesday in the first leg of their
Champions League last-16 tie.
Lazio earned a memorable victory thanks to forward Ciro
Immobile's penalty in the 69th minute after Bayern's Dayot
Upamecano gave away the spot kick and earned himself a red card
with a dangerous challenge on Gustav Isaksen.
Danish winger Isaksen failed to put away an excellent chance
before the goal and Felipe Anderson and Pedro both spurned fine
opportunities to double the home side's lead after it.
"In the last few minutes we made do with winning (the game), but
we could have really done them some harm," Sarri told Amazon
Prime.
The coach, however, also expressed satisfaction at the way his
team was "applied and determined" in order to beat "a team with
a turnover of 800 million euros a year.
"Tonight we took part in a party," he concluded.
