The 2020-21 campaign for Lazio was defined by a crucial return to the European elite, with the Biancocelesti securing a 6th-place finish in Serie A and reaching the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 for the first time in two decades after an impressive, unbeaten group stage run. Leading the charge was star striker Ciro Immobile, whose 20 league goals proved decisive in a season built on the tactical guidance of manager Simone Inzaghi. It was a transitional year that solidified their return to European football, highlighted by a dominant 3-0 victory over rivals Roma in the Derby della Capitale.
