Of course, Xavi Hernandez will do this when his squad hosts the match against Napoli in the second leg. Barcelona will try to work well when playing their matches at Camp Nou, their home base. plus, several others have recovered and returned to playing with the regular team. with the exception of Gavi, Ferran Torres, Balde, who have not yet fully recovered from their injury recovery period. however, Barcelona has a better chance than its opposing team in the second leg. playing in front of their own supporters, plus several players who are ready to return, such as Raphina, Ter Stegen, Joao Felix, can strengthen Barcelona in the match against Napoli later.
If Xavi is able to bring his team, like when hosting the match against Getafe, Barcelona has the possibility of overthrowing Napoli. what I mean is Barcelona's game, not the opposing team, Getafe. because, it would be unbalanced if the match against Getafe was used as a reference. well, it's definitely different from Real Madrid. at least, Real Madrid is quite consistent both in La Liga and in the Champions League.

On the contrary, this match will be a tough match for Napoli who travel to Spain. moreover, referring to performance in the domestic league, it is very unstable. however, in any case, Napoli will try to do their job by working hard. even though based on betting exchanges, Barcelona is far superior to Napoli in the second leg. well, let's wait for the second leg of the fight to take place.

In fact, this all depends on how the players that Tuchel relies on, such as Harry Kane, who is currently really expected to be able to help Bayern Munich to win and qualify for the next round and looking at Bayern Munich performance yesterday in the domestic league match, Harry is starting to improve Kane managed to get 2 winning scores for Munich and I have to say that I agree with your opinion if playing at home makes Bayern Munich very strong and more confident in being able to beat Lazio because I see that Lazio actually not that strong at the moment, different from last season and Currently, Lazio seems to be experiencing a bad trend, even in the domestic league.

Bayern Munich seems to no longer have the opportunity or hope to win the title in the Bundesliga and now the time to make the Bayern Munich players aware of fighting for the title in the Champions League to get replacement for the Bundesliga title which has been locked by Leverkusen and if fails in the Champions League and also in the Bundesliga If fails, of course some players will be sold and remain with the coach who will be fired.

Indeed, Bayern Munich this season has often appeared inconsistent, especially if you look at the Bundesliga, they will almost certainly fail to defend the Bundesliga title. Moreover, in the last match, Eteka almost drew against Leipzig. Luckily, in the final minutes, Kane saved Bayern Munich and managed to get three points.

Likewise in the UCL League, it looks like it will be difficult for Bayern Munich to win the UCL League this season with the team and internal conditions being shaky because Tuchel is rumored to be fired at the end of the season. But against Lazio I think Bayern Munich can turn things around so they can qualify for the next round, but I'm not sure they can reach the semifinals, let alone the final.

This should have been done by Tuchel to increase the confidence of the players, since the defeat against Leverkusen in the domestic league made it difficult for Munich to experience victory, so that is what made Munich lose focus and lose against Lazio and also Bochum in several previous matches in the UCL as well as in the domestic league. , the victory against Leipzig in the domestic league yesterday could certainly be an asset to increase Munich's confidence again to face Lazio in the second leg match later.

Playing at the Alianz arena is certainly an opportunity for Munich to show their best performance against Lazio later, at least Munich can show how they can qualify for the next important round in the UCL like they did before to become the strongest team in the UCL, even though we all probably know Lazio will be as good as possible playing defensively which might frustrate Munich to score goals, so far Lazio is quite good from the defensive side, that's what Tuchel must do to be able to convince his players to find and exploit gaps from Lazio's defensive side to score goals and emerge victorious in the second leg. .

In my opinion, the match with Leipzig was much more meaningful, I won’t rush to conclusions, but I got the impression that the situation in the team is getting better. In general, I liked how Bayern played against Leipzig, they are a very strong opponent, I think stronger than Lazio, so although losing in the first match is bad, for Bayern this is a fixable situation and Lazio will be very difficult away, if they decide to play from defense, then this would be a mistake.

Well I don't want to believe that the same performance a team puts on in their domestic league is same as that which they will be using in the champions league because they all are aware what it is like playing in the champions league and the level of competition that can be seen in the champions league is not such that can be considered with any form of complacency because the opposition is definitely going to take advantage without a second taught.

So I don't think Bayern Munich will perform so badly in the champions league as they have been performing recently in their domestic league, yesterday they had a win even if they did struggled to get the in but then they were able to still get a win which will definitely help their confidence. Lazio hasn't been in a very good form and their performance hasn't been that which will look like a threat to Bayern Munich in the way I'm seeing their performance so far so I still not doubt the possibility of Bayern Munich been able to win Lazio moreover Munich has got some good levels of experience in the champions league for them to be able know how to get pass the current stage in the competition to the next stage.

Their aggressiveness in attack is not as good as last season, so that is what makes them very difficult, especially as their midfield doesn't work very well in finding gaps to break down Lazio's defense. 1 goal does seem slim, but make no mistake, it will be more difficult when they don't play well, or they still carry the game in the first leg into the second leg. They will definitely carry out an evaluation, but the question that remains is whether the evaluation they carry out will go well and make them better in the second leg or not.

What is clear is that they have to go all out in the second leg if they still want to be in the Champions League. Lazio themselves must have anticipated this, they are well aware that their superiority in the first leg will make Bayern Munich respond even stronger when they face each other in the second leg. Lazio could maintain their lead, but I'm still curious about the strategy they will play. They could have played defensively throughout the match and only relied on counter atacks, but that had risks. Also, if they play openly and respond to Bayern Munich play, it might create even bigger gaps in their defense. Now they just need to make a decision, and do their best to prevent Bayern Munich from developing their game.

By the way the expected change in the number of seats is like above for Camp Nou. Yes, there won't be a huge change as you said and there is no need for that as well. Camp Nou was already the biggest stadium and now it is just going to consolidate its place in this ranking.    Playing home matches at a different stadium even for temporarily isn't really nice for a team.

I remember Tottenham's playing their home matches at Wembley for a temporary time period before and their results were affected really badly.  

Bayern Munich, who will play at home, has a very large percentage of being able to turn things around, Agg 1 goal is not a difficult thing to catch, especially if we look at the overall strength of the Bayern Munich team which is slightly better than Lazio.

However, it all comes back to the Bayern Munich team itself as to how they will be able to put out their best performance in the second leg match.
In the last few matches in the Bundesliga we have seen that Bayern Munich's performance has not been optimal.

Bayern Munich should have much greater motivation in the Champions League match because this is the only trophy they can win this season.

I have feeling Bayern Munich is fully capable of having good fight back in second leg match at home even their performance in recent times are not good, but they can overthrow Lazio in second leg game and having good chance for the quarterfinal even now with this performance their chances are not good for the final, but they can pass this Lazio challenge after losing their first game in Italy.

As we all know Bayern Munich is one of the best club in world and their quality and performance is always at their best but every club having good and bad days so they were on bad run, but now things are taking change, and they are having change for doing this all with their title hopes are ended in both leagues because with this performance they can't beat teams like Manchester City and Real Madrid which are at their best in recent times.

no, it's not a positive trend but it's a stroke of luck.
you can look back at how many scores Lazio scored and that was only because of Upamecano mistake which ended up giving Lazio the opportunity to take a penalty kick and score 1 score.
but after that did you see Lazio being able to score again? certainly not.
well, from this you can see whether it is a positive trend or just luck for Lazio and in my opinion there will be no worries in the second leg because Bayern Munich will get a win beating Lazio and I will also guess that Lazio will not be able to score as long Munich doesn't make any more mistakes.

In the upcoming match, I don't want to see the match end in a draw, but I really want to see Munich win with an aggregate of more than 1 to give a sense of enthusiasm and confidence to the Bayern Munich players to continue to work together solidly to get the best performance in this UCL.
and my biggest hope is that Kane as Munich mainstay player will not get injured because if he gets injured everything will be over.

As long as Lazio can apply a strong defense like the first leg, their chances of advancing to the next round will be even greater. After all, the key to their victory in the first leg lies in their strong defense and that made it difficult for Bayern Munich to penetrate the defense they built, the results were quite satisfying with the victory they achieved.
But this is their away match, so mentality will speak a lot when a team does an away match, especially this is also the Champions League. I'm sure Bayern Munich will appear all out in this match and try hard to be able to steal a quick goal to equalize first. Lazio must be ready for that.

No doubt they are doing few decisions very quickly which are not helping the team even the performance of the team is going down and things are already having no way of back for them here now time for them to wait until end of this season, and they overhaul all team with suitable players needs to stay in, and new coach also have power to handle things all without any interference because this could be good for them and their future as well.

In first leg game their performance was not good which bring them down, and they have to be ended with 1–1 draw now mostly are predicted they have no chance for the win against Barcelona but in soccer we can expect any surprise and currently Barcelona is also having problems which are preventing them from their best but still things are favourable for them, but this is going to be tough match for the teams because Victor Osimhen can do good which will help them for having another quarterfinal in this season even they are badly down.

In my opinion, Barcelona will not waste this opportunity to progress even better to the next round because in the last few seasons Barcelona failed to qualify for the round of 16 or advance further in the Champions League even though Barcelona always competes there, in contrast to Real Madrid which has a bigger advantage playing in the Champions League, therefore, Barcelona will do their best in the second leg because Barcelona will play against Napoli at home, of course this brings big advantages for Barcelona to appear impressive in front of their supporters because if you look at Napoli's performance, it is still far from being able to make things difficult for Barcelona in second leg later.

Of course, after Barcelona get good results recently, this can increase their confidence again to compete in La Liga and also in the Champions League. Indeed, sometimes Barcelona's performance is still a little doubtful, but if we study the techniques that Xavi has used so far, we know that Xavi is the coach that has a good strategy so he wants before leaving Barcelona to get a better position, whether in the Champions League or La Liga.

As long bayern will be playing aggresively and the chance will still there. The only problem if bayern will be playing so poorly, im only reminding you that if we can't really sure with the performance from bayern. You did aware about how inconsistent bayern munich is in bundesliga. It has become my strong point to call that if bayern has quite big potential to lose.
The fans are baffling with the performance from bayern munich. The good result against liepzig can at least bring the momentum for the club to comeback again and compete with lazio for one of spot to go to the next round. Talking about the odds got by bayern is pretty small though.

I will mention it here.

1x2 bayern @1.34
Bayern to qualify @1.47

IMO, seeing the performance from bayern in the previous games are enough in making people to feel disbelief with it. I meant the inconsistency is still become the key to defeine whethr bayern will qualify or not. Im concerning about the performance from player.
Talked about bayern's chance to qualify is big though. Im sure that there will be no a lot of goals to happen. Probably around three goals and this is the possible result from this match 2-1, 3-0

There is still a chance for bayern to get draw and lost against lazio too. The news about tuchel who had been sacked is impacting the fundamental owned by the club. Things are going even harder for bayern caused by it was so struggling to beat its opponent.
This is gonna be one of interesting match to happen soon. Im not even feeling curious about the bets caused by majority of us picked bayern to win the agme against lazio. Lazio is not yet performing good enough in serie a but it's potentially to send back bayern to the bundesliga soon.

With that game against Getefe, cruising pass them with four goals to nothing yesterday, I thought for sometime that, if they have been like this all throughout this season then they shouldn't have been too behind Real Madrid.
They can do same to Napoli if they return to Camp Nou, I always said prior to the game between Napoli and Barcelona that Barcelona are not different from Napoli but I did see something different yesterday.

At least they both have two competitive winger's on the right wing, Xavi Hernandez can now finally bring in one of them to dominate nthe wings.
It was finally five goals also for Felix. Coke March, the second leg would be hosted.

I guess Barcelona players are trying to get it right in this period to ensure they are part of the team that will gain a good award next year because Napoli struggle to equalized the game to draw the game 1:1 with Barcelona and, it will give Barcelona more strength to withstand their opponent next game.

You can see what Barcelona did to their opponent in the la Liga league competition that made them to return back to second position which if they can add more effort to their plans in the remaining games, I believe they will still make things happen again to lift the trophy.

Yes, I admit that Lazio is indeed in a positive trend after beating Munich at home and of course it was a little painful for Munich and also reduced the mentality of the players because no one expected that Munich would lose early considering Munich's ability and experience in UCL but were defeated by a team that I don't have much experience. And I think currently Lazio is preparing to face Munich at away and using a defensive strategy, but it looks like this won't be easy to do because Munich will definitely avenge their previous defeat because the aggregate created by Lazio is only one so Munich still has the opportunity to create an aggregate of more than 1 to bring Munich through to the next round, this is if Munich no longer makes mistakes like match before.

They will go to Germany with an advantage after winning the first match. Lazio's luck is that it was a bad season for Bayern in the league and they were under pressure. They are capable of handling this pressure, but it may force them to make mistakes. Even if they make a mistake, they won't have a chance in the rematch. The only chance for Lazio will be hard play.

As long as bayern will still to perform like the first leg and the chance owned by lazio to go to the next round is still very big. Bayern was able beating leipzig with narrow score which is good. I hope that everything will be fine for lazio. It's caused by playing away will become the biggest problem for the club. It's caused by we do know that how strong bayen when it played at home. I think that if bayern potentially to score as many goals as possible to make sure it can qualify to the further stage. Bayern seems slowly but surely regaining its momentum again. Lazio can play fully defensive to keep its aggregate. The club needs only to get draw. It will be so stupid if lazio will be fully playing offensive against it.

Lazio has no choice other than going fully defensive. This is going to help the club a lot. We do know that if lazio has not yet performed good enough and this can also become the main consideration for the club to face bayern soon. Bayern will be trying to be fully offensive.
It's caused by the club needs at least two goals only if lazio will not score in the second leg. Bayern is now in a very difficult situation after tuchel has sacked from the club. It was another disappointed result from bayern.

This club seems miss so many opportunities started with DFB pokal and probably bundesliga too. UCL still becomes the most difficult competition to won.
