Former Italy defender Alessandro Costacurta believes Lazio can upset Champions League opponents Bayern Munich.

The two teams will meet next week.

“I believe that Lazio are the worst possible opponent that Bayern Munich could've picked in the Round of 16," Costacurta told Sky Italia.

“The Germans are still the favourites, of course, but the open spaces that Bayern leave mean if there's a team that can cause them real problems, it's Lazio.

“We already saw their two best performances in the Champions League this season were against another German club, Borussia Dortmund."
