Lazio
Under Maurizio Sarri's leadership, Lazio advanced to the knockout stage by finishing ahead of Feyenoord and Celtic but behind Atletico Madrid in their group.

They are 5 points behind the top 4. Over the weekend, Lazio convincingly defeated Cagliari 3-1 away.
Bayern Munich
In the Champions League, Bayern Munich easily secured 16 points, winning their group with Manchester United, Galatasaray, and Copenhagen. However, in the Bundesliga, Thomas Tuchel's team is on the verge of losing their dominance. Over the weekend, they suffered a humiliating 0-3 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen, allowing Leverkusen to lead by 5 points. Before this loss, the German champions had won three consecutive matches, but they started the second half of 2024 with a 0-1 loss to Werder Bremen.
