Lazio goalkeeper Ivan Provedel insists they're capable of getting a result at Bayern Munich.

Lazio face Bayern in the first-leg of their Champions League round of 16 on Wednesday.

"Ours was a tough group. It may have seemed easy from the outside, but Atletico, Feyenoord and Celtic are all top-level teams," Provedel said.

Getting through the group was an excellent achievement given the quality of our opponents and the fact that it was the first time playing in the competition for lots of our players.

"Bayern are a team that are used to the knock-out rounds, but we cannot afford to be intimidated. We will be ready to do our best and push for a place in the next round.

Reaching the Round of 16 has reminded us what we are capable of achieving. Now we know that if we work in a certain way, we can get certain results, and that only helps our self-esteem."
