Bayern Munich v Lazio live stream, BT Sport, Wednesday 17 March, 8pm GMT
Bayern Munich will be looking to book their place in the quarter-finals of the Champions League when they take on Lazio on Wednesday.
Hansi Flick’s side are in a commanding position in this last-16 tie, having registered a 4-1 victory at the Stadio Olimpico towards the end of last month. Bayern proved far too strong for Lazio last time out, and their performance in Rome provided little in the way of evidence against the notion that the German giants are the team to beat in the competition.
Bayern are the holders, of course, and will have designs on becoming only the second club to win back-to-back Champions Leagues since the tournament was rebranded in 1992.
Having taken nine points from the last nine available in the Bundesliga, Bayern have given themselves some breathing space which could allow them to focus on European matters. A five-point lead at the summit of the standings is not yet enough to confirm Bayern as champions-elect, but that gap may well have widened by the team the quarter-finals come around.
Lazio require a miracle to overturn a 4-1 first-leg deficit, and an early goal will be vital if they are to pull one of the most extraordinary comebacks in Champions League history. In truth Simone Inzaghi has probably already given up on the competition this season, even though he would never admit to it in public. Lazio’s overriding aim from this point onwards is to finish in the top four of Serie A, an ambition which was boosted with a 3-2 win against Crotone on Friday night.
Bayern will be unable to call upon the services of Corentin Tolisso and Douglas Costa, but David Alaba could be back in the heart of the backline.
Lazio will have to make do without Luiz Felipe and Manuel Lazzari, both of whom are hoping to be available for selection after this month’s international break.
Kick-off is at 8pm GMT and the game is being shown on BT Sport 3 in the UK. See below for watching details where you are.
Use a VPN to watch a Bayern Munich v Lazio live stream from outside your country
If you’re on holiday or just simply out of the country, your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows exactly where you are from your IP address. Your access to the game will be automatically blocked, which is annoying if you’ve paid a subscription fee and don't want to use an illegal, buffering stream that makes you miss another Jose Mourinho tantrum. And that's where we recommend ExpressVPN (more on which below).
All you need to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to get beyond such aggravations (assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs). A VPN creates a private connection between your device and the internet, meaning suppliers can’t work out where you are and what you’re doing. The info going to and from is entirely encrypted.
