Lazio captain Ciro Immobile says he and his teammates are ready for tonight's Champions League clash with Bayern Munich.

Lazio are in Germany defending a 1-0 lead for the second-leg of the round of 16 tie.

Immobile said: "It's a match with a lot of responsibility. If you want to be remembered for having done something special, there is no simple thing to do. We must have the same determination and desire to help ourselves that we had in the first leg, or rather add something more since we are away.

I talk to the team at all stadiums. I don't want to do anything extra tomorrow, I avoid making the situation worse. They will already be very nervous. I want my comrades to be united but calm.

The real key (in the first-leg) is that everyone did what we agreed with the coach. Everyone did their best, without wanting to overdo it. There was cohesion of movements and mutual help."
