Bayern Munich forward Harry Kane urged his side to "keep fighting" for the Champions League qualification despite losing 1-0 in the first leg of their last-16 tie against Lazio on Wednesday.

Ciro Immobile gave Lazio a slender lead in their Champions League last 16 tie with under-fire Bayern Munich after netting the only goal in a 1-0 win in Wednesday's first leg.
Bayern are a club in a slump and a toothless display in the Italian capital will do nothing to help embattled coach Thomas Tuchel. The manager is under pressure as Wednesday's defeat came after a 3-0 thumping at Bayer Leverkusen which left Bayern five points off the pace in the German title race.
"Really tough week. In the first half, we started well and had clear chances, one for myself. In these games, they're big moments. The second half was disappointing. We came out with less energy and less confidence. We got punished. Once you go down to 10 men it's always difficult," Harry Kane told reporters.
The Champions League looked like Bayern's last chance at a trophy this season but Immobile put those hopes in serious doubt.
"We have to find it among ourselves. We're still in the race for the Bundesliga and still in this tie. We have to keep fighting. We're in a difficult spell. We have to fight. We have to turn it around. We're not out of it, we will never give up," concluded the England captain.
