Lazio, who had a rare chance to thwart Bayern in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League round of 16, lost in the second leg. In the first round, the team's frontline veteran Nembini missed a great opportunity to set up a win. The 34-year-old could have struck a winner in the first half, but instead, the ball flew off the line with a flick of his head, laying the groundwork for the subsequent loss. After the game, Russo's fans were in high spirits and took to their official social media accounts, with some even suggesting that he should "retire" to Saudi Arabia.
With 36 minutes to go in the game, Russell winger Sakani sent a pinpoint cross from the left and Nmobini was left unmarked in the box, cutting in from the outside with ease. Had it not been for Bayern striker Halikani's timely reinforcement, Russell might have been able to take a two-goal lead into the halftime break. However, it was not to be as Bayern equalized just two minutes later.
Nmobini's goal conceded became the turning point of the game, which is why Lazio fans criticized the veteran so angrily, commenting, "'Retired old man' Nmobini has missed countless chances," "Everything was going well for Lazio before this game, but Nmobini is clearly getting old ", "Going to Saudi Arabia could be the best option for Nmobini."
Nmobini played for Russell for 8 years and scored a total of 206 goals, making him the team's all-time leading goal scorer. However, his form has dipped in recent years. He scored just 14 goals in 38 games last season and has only scored 10 goals so far this season. The club should probably really start looking for his successor.
