Goal-Keeper
Despite him conceding four the last time these two sides met, Pepe Reina’s string of saves see him be our shot stopper for the day.
Defenders
Benjamin Pavard and Alphonso Davies have been integral to Bayern Munich’s modus operandi. Its down to the two’s willingness to march down the park and offer much needed unbridled wide support to the club’s attacks.
Niklas Sule completes the three man defensive setup from the team. Lazio on the other hand see Patricio Gil line up for us owing to his ability to win aerial duels.
Midfielders
He scored and assisted the last time these two sides locked heads to see Leroy Sane be the first pick from the home side.
Joshua Kimmich leads his side’s assist ranks with the three layups to see him complete the duo from the side. Luis Alberto and his ability to work the flanks sees him represent Lazio.
