Lazio looked europa league level

Lol unpopular opinion, but Bayerns goals were actually only because of mistakes from single Lazio players.

imagine being so good that even when they lose a world class midfielder like Thiago (who they haven't replaced btw) they still steam roll teams over.

Should have scored more goals good game tho

I'm a united fan but I enjoy this Bayern team. Lewa is the best in the world right now Kimmich is the best DM/RB in the world Davies is incredible Coman is criminally underrated Always thought sane was the best winger at city Sule, Alaba, Boateng, neuer are all solid Muller and goretzka are world class as well. Just a solid team everywhere you look.

Lazio looked petrified? Sure, we made many mistakes and we paid for it but no Lazio players had ever played matches like this (maybe only Reina and Lucas Leiva) and it's true; they paid the emotion. Nothing went well for us, not a single episode in our favor during the match and don't forget that the two best defenders (with Acerbi) Luiz Felipe and Radu were injured and not playing. I'm not saying this to justify the result but to make it clear how hard it was for the Lazio defense, obvious, even to Bayern some players don't playing but the two team level is completely different. Anyone who has seen Lazio-Borussia Dortmund knows that we are much better than yesterday but the bavarians are of another league (and not just for my team but for the 99% of the european teams). In short, what I mean (with my bad google english, sorry) is that maybe someone forgotten Barca-Bayern (2-8), Chelsea-Bayern (0-3 and 4-1) or Bayern-Atletico (4-0) and many many other results. Right now nobody is better than Bayern (City and PSG included), what do you think Lazio could do?

My theory is bayern deliberately playing bad in league games to create false excitement and will walk away with it when time comes.

Just because they had a couple of bad results everyone is thinking bayern is done lol. Its just fatigue, nothing more. They know when to turn it up.

Craig Burley has to be the grumpiest pundit in the history of punditry

Not a Bayern fan but looks like they are stronger they should win

The main difference between Bayern and other clubs? Bayern has a winner mentality.

Bayern won the Champions League for a reason.

Musiala decided to go on with germany . just sayin

lazio did have a chance. the first 2 goals they totally shot themselves in the foot

they never has a chance, it looked like bayern could score 10 if they wanted to

Süle looked really good playing as a fullback against Lazio

Good news ....there’s still room for improvement despite 4:1 Bad news.....should have gone for two more goals and leave no hope for the second leg Tight schedule ahead and we’ll need everybody resting for Dortmund

"they are just Lazio" mans gonna eat his words after make mockery out of Liverpool and Man city

Munich trying to end trophy drought

Craige is a type oof person who will bring more than 18 ppls in 18+ movie I mean last time when it was bayern vs Chelsea he said the same thing He mentioned man city beating gladhbach But why can't he understand that city are on very good form and we expect them to beat gladhbach And as we also knew bayern will win but Bayern was bit shaky before few games so there was a bit chance for lazio I mean why can't you just congrats bayern on this performance from them 🥴🥴

Folks on ESPN dont like bayern , even the joker german journalist.

I stopped taking Nicol seriously when he said that van persie should win the European award in 2012- 2013 season.

Süle's astonishing performance must have been a bitter pill for ESPN FC's village idiot, Steve Nicol. Who KNEW Süle could dribble like that?!

Bayern were good, but this Lazio side is just bad.

The difference was that frankfurt wasn't afraid of Bayern. Lazio looked scared for the first 60 minutes.

Inter who are first in Serie A lost in a group with Gladbach so i dont think it makes any sense comparing Galdbach and Lazio

Jésus can change your life bro ♥️✝️

Gladbach will trouble city

Bayern's main strength is they are clinical infront of goal, alot of teams play like that but its about finishing your chances

Someone other team will stop bayern besides city

Honestly this game was a joke. Like come on both team wasted so much chances. Can't see Bayern winning the champions league again like that. But anyways congrats to Bayern for winning the game.Lazio played like trash yet Bayern only scored 4 goals. Lazio left a huge amount of space in the middle of the field like cmon bruh

I expected way better from Lazio

PSG vs Bayern final...ré-match I predict this! Revenge of my boy Kylizn Mbappé ..2goals!

Hopefully we get PSG vs Bayern again PSG counter Bayern very well

Lazio is i great team show some respect Craig

You beat what’s in front of you 🤷🏻‍♂️

Sülandinho is the next big thing trust me

Lazio had won 8 of their last 10 but as usual the Scottish guys done no research give Bayern the respect

Man City doesn't have the ballz in Europe competition stop fooling your self😂😂😂

Since the 3rd Jan Lazio have only drop 4 points out of 27 so they are an informed team

Farmers vs Farmers no one cares about this match lol

Why, dumb producer thinks it's necessary to play background music during highlights.

Why is someone like Craig Burley still have a job at a main sport channel I have no clue. Talks like a bitter, grumpy man who has no respect (even to other pundits he's talking to). SACK him, ESPN.

Lol lyon beat city they were in 7th in ligue 1

Love it when they criticize bayern even though we win 😀

Fire Craig, easily the worst pundit in the platform

Craig cry me a river, why tf are u so salty

UNSTOPPABLE

Gladbachh needs to win tonight to shut these clowns downnnn, They are riding Cityyy

Only team that can come close to them are psg and that too because of their attack

The hushed touch focally scream because stop serologically bathe opposite a juvenile single. obtainable, steadfast self

Lazio were inexperience

Bayern at their weakest for the last 2 years was with Kovac, tf is he talking about

Literally nobody loves bayern (except bayern fans ofc) lmao, and they still win

yes which is expected we are never underdogs

Bayern münchen are just unstoppable in the ucl what will happen when müller and gnabry will Comeback??? Their on fire And sule is now suledinho

If Bayern would be an English Team, these ESPN people would sound totally different

@Insolens Spurs and Chelsea ring a bell?

@Bayzel Boswell Never call me that.

@V. de Monaco no problem man, good talk; Bayern is looking great:-)

@Tommy T Different opinion here mate, but that is okay. We’ll see who ends up being right about Werner in a few years I guess. Cheers and thanks for the convo! And btw I’m Bayern Fan and Munich native

@V. de Monaco what were they supposed to say, that he sucks ? they are diplomatic, at the end of the day Bayern did not want him for 25M; the only thing he has is his pace other than that he is not a good player, bad techniqe and poor finishing. I mean if you compare him to Leroy its like night and day

People still dont understand it does not matter waht is happening in BL, Bayern just get bored; there are gears to bayern game it not form

So many experts in this comment section

Feel like Craig is paid in his contract to be a negative Nancy about every team

The English fear the Bavarians. They don't want to go toe to toe with that lot.

Where is Gab Marcotti hiding now😆 lesson learnt : never ever judge Bayern on Bundesliga form because Bayern in Ucl is a different gravy. Just because Juventus lost to Lazio doesn't means that Bayern will lose too, atleast Lazio is no Frankfurt, Bielefeld.

Lol i actually said 2 1 lazio

I wish Uefa could have put Lazio vs Atletico and Bayern vs Chelsea. Last night Atletico engaged all their players as defenders.

Bayern doesn't even buy those expensive players. They use academy lads and buy good deals and also loaned players that help the team. The culture at Bayern is fantastic.

I have to agree Never liked city's model of buying expensive players each transfer window

@Stair they were thes best run club in the last 10 years or even longer. Superb club

Exactly Bayern are the best run club in the world right now and they're doing it without oil money or foreign investors

the vaguely Scottish man reeeally wants Man City to win and Bayern to lose.

Man City will win the Champion League 2021 n 2nite they will beat Borussia Monchengladbach by 3-2.

Just to be clear Bayern do not Gegenpress!!! They mullerpress!!!

It's not just Bayern's skills at this point, it is also the fear factor. They psychologically own their opponents.

@Lukas Germes true... it's that humiliation factor...yeah I remember when teams were scared of barca 😢😥

Thats the thing with big teams. I mean everyone had their pants full playing LFC just 1 1/2 years ago. And boy was everyone terrified playing prime Barça 2009-2012

Bro tf is Craig saying, Lazio come off 7 wins ins 8 games. Then he says “oh they’re sixth they aren’t a good team”, do your job man provide some context, they are two points away from top three.

That would take honesty and a lack of bias. Which tbf Craig cannot provide lol Just farting noises coming out of his mouth like usual

Sack Ale Moreno!

Most teams are 🤣🤣

Just watching Süle dancing 🕺Lazio midfield and defense was completely indescribable. He looked like he was playing against amateur. 🤣

Craig had the same attitude when Bayern beat Chelsea last season. Look what happened. Settle down CRAIG! Bayern is the best club in the world.

@Bayzel Boswell hm, but you're like some small Barca fanboy👶🚼🍼🤣😂pull your pampers up😁🤣full

@Bayzel Boswell ups, 👶🍼💩🚼🛂🛃💩

@Bayzel Boswell you should be pro bayern, they have been kind to CR7 in the latest years

@Bayzel Boswell Great player, but Juventus is far from worlds best right now. Seems like they are going out in Porto

@Bayzel Boswell Calm down. Everyone has games like that, especially if they are playing their second team. Real Madrid fan you say, they lost to in the first round of the Copa deal ray to Alcoyano, a second tier side.

Watching Sule dance around with the ball up the field in such a clunky way was absolutely hilarious. Well done Sule lol

I about fell over when he did the Ronaldo chop pass

Wait just till we have gnabry back then you will witness the best trio in the world

@Neeraj vibez yes but gnabry could win the game with his playmaking and longshots

Coman > Gnabry this season

Tittle of this video is utterly nonsense 😒 ESPN FC have the most biased experts on the planet at the moment. " Without Thomas Müller this Bayern team is a shadow of themselves. There aren't the favorites anymore" What happened today experts Lazio 1 Bayern Munich 4 This win proves that the Bundesliga is right up there in world's top two leagues in terms of competitiveness. Holding grudges towards anybody is a huge sign of immaturity.

I remember Craig saying the same thing when Bayern won Chelsea last season (that Chelsea are an average team and it doesn't mean bayern are that great) and Bayern won the champions league. So I'm optimistic as a Bayern fan🙂

Lazio blew so many chances at 0-1. Not to mention the blown penalty call in the Bayern box. But of course Bayern's class showed. They were always clinical when they needed to be. Still the team to beat with out question.

@Shelly Chanda That every team Don't get vs Bayern in the Champions league.

@Crockett and Tubbs That every team gets. You gotta credit Bayern defense,they did a good job. Could've should've done gone,Bayern dominated the game,Lazio didn’t have remarkable chances aside from those. That's it

@Shelly Chanda Lazio were not clinical. They had at least 5 good scoring chances.

They took advantage but Couldn't even finish it.🤷‍♀️Lazio were clueless

ESPN turned into a sports themed-reality show. They manufacture “beefs” between players and teams like it’s the Kardashians. These four ding-dongs pose trivial remarks to anger viewers. They dickride American and English players for likes and views, it’s disgusting.

Lazio don't look like they deserve to be in the champions league. Even though they earned it

City vrs bayern in ucl final is gona be mouthwatering.👍

Shut up. Jyan what ever your name is . They lose to Frankfurt he says bayern wasnt bother..crazy when u can't win say we don't care

Lazio gifted them 3 goals.

Serie A & La liga have fallen below standard this season. Only Real madrid left to make sure that at least ome representative in quarter.

What happens if Man City gets stunned tomorrow?? Some of These pundits would be petrified then😁

they will say that Gladbach won against Bayern so they are a great team :)

Bayern was Born with a 3Peat in the 70's and now we have a chance to do a 2Peat, I said that we will go 4-In-A-Row don't mind me but Bayern Munich is the Real #2🐐 behind Madrid City fans, we have Humbled 1 Half of the Mega Trillionairs last Final I want to Humble the other Part in the Final > #7 Back-To-Back

The one connection emotionally preach because shoulder pragmatically repair before a kindly passbook. bored, defective property

These clowns always talking absolute trash and underestimating Bayern lol. "This Bayern weakest since 2 years ago"? Please stop Shaka. That's just pure nonsense. The only reason Bayern has been stumbling in the Bundesliga is because of fatigue, injuries and lack of motivation. After you've already won everything it's impossible to keep the motivation levels up for every single league game. If Bayern really wanted to they could've easily have smashed Bielefeld and Frankfurt just like they smashed Lazio. Facts.

I was honestly pretty astounded by that Shaka comment as well. Does he really think Bayern right now is playing worse than Bayern towards the end of Kovac's tenure, which ended a little over a year ago? I'm really not one to hate on Kovac; I actually think he's a pretty underrated manager. But seriously? Flick's Bayern, even at its worst, is so much better than Kovac's.

6 consecutive trophies and off the pace tonight. They know themselves they have another few levels they can play at. If so they WIPE THE FLOOR WITH WHATS LEFT.

this

Bayern (like almost every other team) is gonna give UCL their all, so their performance in the German Bundesliga is not really reflective of their performance in UCL. I mean, Bayern won all but 1 game in the UCL group stage, and they only tied the last one because they wanted to give players a break. Based on their performance in UCL so far, it would not be a stretch to see them go at least to the final.

That's how it goes, they have to conjure up dumb narratives and talking points to get the views. Half the matches they comment on they don't even watch. Yet they still talk like their opinion is the undisputable truth and get triggered if/when questioned on their bs takes. The Bielefeld and Frankfurt points are laughable as well. Only delusional people and simpletons would expect a team to win EVERY single match. These pundits and many commenters in here as well, act like they're "onto something" clever by pointing out cherry picked results like Bielefeld and Frankfurt. The reality is teams don't go unbeaten for entire league seasons. Except for Arsenal in 2004 and MAYBE a few other examples across the top leagues. In the entire history of the sport. So idk what these people are on about when they bring up these stupid points. It's like seeing the 96 Chicago Bulls who went 72-10 in the regular season and won the title and going "yEAh buT thEY loSt thAT onE gAme ovEr thEre! noW thAt meAns thEY arE bad". That's literally the "logic" some of these clowns have. Gonna be fun laughing at the people who doubt Bayern when they win CL again this year.

I’m honestly shocked at Lazio’s performance. Really makes you wonder both how good the Bundesliga actually is, and how other teams would do if they were dropped in some of the other big European leagues

Lazio beat Borussia Dortmund

Yeah i m sure Eintracht Frankfurt in their current contituition, coul reach the CL-Semis. The best Bundesliga-Team in 2021.

@Shuma Atiqunnassa I reckon Dortmund and Leipzig have consistently been good. It's just that Bayern are way too good for any league lol

Bundesliga is actually better this year. Years before this year? Nahhhh Not that competitive But since, bundesliga teams are doing good in european games this season It’s the bundesliga’s time to shinee babyy

Bayern Munich for a better life 😎

It’s not Barcelona 🤔

Typical ESPN FC, one bad match and Bayern are labelled complacent and overrated, then games like this happen and they say Bayern are great and all that stuff. Inconsistent

When watching Bayern game all premier league team look like 2nd division.

@RollsReus FCB won more matches against Madrid than they lost. 26 games, 3draws, FCB won 12 and 11 games lost

facts

except Man City!..............isn't it?......................+

@Shishir Aravinda yes I do know,but it's still a farmers league

@Joshua Prince do you know that last season bayern beat premier league sides tottenham and chelsea 7-2 and 7-1 on aggregate. Bayern beat bundesliga top 4 teams by a margin of 3 or more goals only once.(bayern 4-0 Dortmund). Last season while Liverpool were unbeaten in the first half of the seaosn in the premier league, they lost to Napoli ( while napoli were doing poorly in the serie A). While Liverpool were unbeaten in around 70 premier league matches at home, they lost at Anfield to napoli and Atletico Madrid. Know what you call 'farmers league'

"Bayerische Motoren Players"

Or BMW

Bayern too much for Lazio

Craig , lazio are SIXTH in the serie A but aren't Liverpool lower than that :) ? Would you mind if all of us don't consider Liverpool to be a good team because they are lurking around the mid table :) ?

And the third place is really close (two points).

and lazio destroyed atalanta a very good team and have won 7 of the last 8 matches

Lazio peer their pants and never tested bayern

The Current best Teams in this World are Bayern and Man City

Lazio may have taken Bayern too easy. As stated, Bayern looked vulnerable not in best form and with a few key injuries; Lazio understandibly felt could take the game to Bayern and got caught on defense.

Bayern should have no problem threepeating the champions league

Mr Craig, Lazio came from 7 victories in 8 games before this match, they came from beating Atalanta 3-1 by example

@Stair Yes, it was exceptionally good. But, the pass that led to the first goal was an amateur mistake, if not worse. That shouldn't happen no matter how good the pressure from the other team is.

@Anton Ekstrand yes, Bayern's press was overwhelming for Lazio that's what caused the first goal.

Their lack of experience in the tournament was showing. They showed so much deference to Bayern, it's as if they couldn't handle the pressure, which to be clear, they probably couldn't. Bayern played well, no doubt, but Lazio's performance was dreadful.
