With less than 100 days to go for Euro 2020, many questions still persist as the football world waits for UEFA to provide some more substantial answers in mid-April.

The countdown for the Euro 2020 has begun as the tournament will kick-off in less than 100 days. The event, which was postponed by a year due to the ongoing Covid-19&nbsp;pandemic, is scheduled to begin with Italy taking on Turkey in Rome on June 11.&nbsp;
The original plan saw the competition take place in 12 different cities across Europe.&nbsp;However, with many of those host nations still under a strict lockdown, it remains unclear whether that plan can be delivered.
Will the host cities be reduced, perhaps even to one single city? How many fans will be allowed in the stadiums? Many questions persist as the football world waits for UEFA to provide some more substantial answers in mid-April.

The home advantage didn't matter for Lazio&nbsp;as they could only score once during the game and that too in the 2nd half. For Bayern&nbsp;Munich,&nbsp;Robert Lewandowski&nbsp;became the league's 3rd highest goal&nbsp;scorer with his 9th min strike. 17-year-old Jamal Musiala&nbsp;and Leroy Sane also got on the scoresheet&nbsp;as Lazio&nbsp;also contributed to the scoreline with an own goal.
