Bayern Munich striker Thomas Muller admits confidence is low after their Champions League defeat to Lazio.

Lazio won the first-leg of their round 16 tie 1-0.

Muller said, "We are not happy with the result and above all with the second half, we gave it to Lazio. Tonight we made too many mistakes. First half we should have scored, we had several opportunities against an excellent defensive team like Lazio. When you don't score...".

"Confidence is decreasing. Lazio's victory is probably right today, but it doesn't end here. The Biancocelesti wasted a lot of scoring opportunities despite playing in numerical superiority for over 20 minutes.

"If we look at the result and the red to Upamecano in the 68th minute, it's not that terrible. But the opportunities we missed were far too many, I repeat."
