Lazio matchwinner Ciro Immobile was delighted after their Champions League shock against Bayern Munich.
Immobile struck from the penalty spot for the 1-0 first-leg win in the round 16 tie.
He later said, "I was convinced that the team could exploit this opportunity to demonstrate how far we have come. Facing these rivals in the Champions League gives you incredible energy, these are matches you've dreamed about since you were little.
"We shouldn't have let ourselves be carried away by emotion, we wanted to enjoy it to the fullest and put ourselves in a position to play a slightly easier return match. Now we'll have to do another great game at our home too.
"Today I didn't feel so confident about taking the penalty. I wanted to cross, then out of the corner of my eye I saw Neuer who had already dived and so there was nothing left to risk. It was tough.
"We knew that with organisation and desire we could have put in a good performance. I'm convinced that, even if we had drawn or lost 1-0, they would still have applauded us after this match."
