The Champions League 10 shows us why Italy is missing Chiesa Jr
Although Lazio beat Bayern Munich in the Champions League, a win over Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League was crucial for them. At first, it was thought that Lazio would draw with Bayern, but Lazio could also knock Bayern out of the tournament. It can be said that Bayern has suffered a big loss recently, not only in bad form, but also mentally problematic, if it is not dealt with in time, it is very likely that there will be a double blow.
Although they didn't take any lead with a 1-0 win at home to Bayern, they are ready for the next leg. Lazio are not as popular as many people think, at least against a sluggish Bayern Munich. Although Immobile only scored a penalty, it was a landmark goal and in fact his first goal in Champions League qualifying.
Do you feel the shame that lies behind this fact?
Immobile is considered Italy's best goalscorer in recent years, and it's no surprise that a striker like him appears in the knockout rounds of the Champions League. However, the truth is that Serie A is still a few years away from breaking Juve's record of nine consecutive titles. The Milan duo reached the last four of the Champions League last season, a record not seen in many years. This means that Juventus will become the only team in Italy's history to win the Champions League. This means that Juventus will shine in the Champions League, while the rest of the team could be eliminated in the group stage.
Let's take a look back at 2022. Italy lost 1-0 to North Macedonia in World Cup qualifying, the second time they lost their chance to play in the World Cup. At that time, Immobile, Insigne and other Italian goalscorers scored more than 20 goals in the game, but none of them scored. Some people say that their level is very high, but they do not have enough experience to cope with such a life-and-death battle. For this reason, some miss Chiesa Jr., who is injured and cannot play. Chiesa was a key player in Italy's Euro triumph at the start of 2021 and also played in Champions League qualifiers at Juventus. It's clear that Chiesa Byin's Mobile knows a little better. It's clear that Chiesa Byin's Mobile knows a little better.
The former Serie A Golden Boot winner is incredible, Immobile has yet to win the knockout rounds of the European Champions Cup. The decline of Serie A can be seen in the goals. Serie A's top scorer has never made an appearance in the Champions League.
In recent years, Serie A seems to have improved again, although there is still a big gap from the "Little World Cup" period, but in the Champions League, some signs of the resurgence of Serie A giants can already be seen, last season Milan scored 1 4, of course, there are some fluke factors, but this scene is still very moving, as if returning to the ** period 10 years ago. Hopefully, Immobile's landmark goal could send a strong signal of recovery for the Serie A giants. Whether Lazio will be able to pull off a miracle at the Allianz Arena is uncertain. Hopefully, by then, Immobile will be able to score as well.
Let's hope it won't be another penalty shoot-out.
