Italian journalists were not surprised that the Lazio coach released a reserve squad for the match with Dynamo, as the Roman club needs to rotate the squad in order to have strength for all tournaments. In addition, Baroni understood that Dynamo would not be fresh due to logistical problems, and personnel problems in defense will help Lazio to create chances at the other team's goal. The local media are pleased with the Romans' spectacular start in the renewed Europa League, but they urge them not to relax and try to solve the issue of reaching the next round as soon as possible.
La Gazzetta dello Sport
"Lazio beats Dynamo in 35 minutes" - La Gazzetta dello Sport journalist is sure that the whole struggle ended after the third goal to Buschan. After that the score could have changed in favor of Lazio, but the Italians were no longer trying to score at any cost.
- Lazio's European adventure is off to a very good start. The large and never in doubt victory of Baroni's team, who made their debut in European Cup matches, in Hamburg over Dynamo Kyiv is inevitably due to the logistical problems they have to face. The Ukrainians clearly lack freshness and strength for 90 minutes of the match. That is probably why they dropped their hands after the third conceded goal.
The game can be divided into two parts. In the first, the Roman team does not miss and can boast of virtually perfect realization. Three goals in 35 minutes shocked Dynamo. The second part turned out to be less interesting for the spectators. There were a lot of missed chances, two penalties, arguments with the referee and some relaxation on Lazio's part. A great result for the Romans - the first away win of the season! Even Baroni's experiments with the lineup for this game did not prevent Lazio from getting a confident victory. A German evening for Lazio has only positive consequences.

"What a great start," a Sky Sports journalist praises Lazio for their convincing win in their first Europa League game and notes that after conceding a third goal, it was as if Dinamo had already resigned themselves to defeat.
- It is a good first match for Lazio in the new Europa League. Baroni's team plays a solid match and beats Dynamo Hamburg with a confident 3-0 score. Already in the 5th minute Dia opens the match. The hosts responded with their own chances, not wanting to concede, but at the end of the first half the Biancocelesti accelerated and scored two goals in less than 2 minutes: first to Dele-Bashir and then again to Dia. In fact, after that, the game was already over.
In the second half, Lazio were close to scoring a fourth goal (e.g. the bar after Pedro's shot), then the referee had to show a red card to each team: a red card to Bragar and then to Noslin.
This result helps Lazio to take the first place in the general table of the tournament, while Dinamo drops to the last position. A great start of the renewed Europa League for Baroni's team.
Corriere della Sera
"A dream debut" - the journalist of the Corriere della Sera edition played two events in the title: Lazio's first match in the renewed Europa League and Marco Baroni's first match in European competitions as a coach.
- Baroni's debut for Lazio in the Europa League was triumphant: three goals against the Ukrainians, a confident victory and a bright attacking game. This is the kind of debut any coach dreams of. On a neutral pitch in Hamburg in the debut Europa League match against Dynamo Kyiv, the coach used a serious rotation, but it did not affect the game from the worst side. In 35 minutes after the starting whistle his wards finished the game.
In front of the Ukrainians, stunned by the 19-hour trip to the German city where they are forced to play because of the war, Dia played his best match for Lazio. It wasn't just the goals he scored, but the way he acted on the pitch, helping the team and hindering the opponents. Dele Bashirou also played a great match, but still not as bright as Dia. "Dinamo" tried desperately to score at least one goal in return, but at the right moment Provedel came into the game.
In the second half, the teams played less inspired, but still Pedro had to score the fourth goal. The Spaniard did not realize the one-on-one, as the ball hit the bar. The only disadvantage for Lazio in this game was the suspension of Noslin, who for some reason elbowed a Dynamo defender. But even this did not prevent Lazio from securing a confident victory.
