Man City Take Charge of Bayern Tie With Three Goals

City put on an incredible show despite the rain and soggy pitch to beat Bayern Munich 4-0 in their Champions League quarter-final first leg. With this victory, City advance into the second leg in Germany with one foot in the semi-finals.

Bernardo Silva and Erling Haaland both scored goals to give City their third victory against the record German champions in three years, lifting them above Group C at the summit. It was Rodri's first goal for City in a Champions League match and he played an important role throughout.

Rodri’s wonder goal

Rodri's stunning goal gave Man City the lead and took them one step closer to reaching the Champions League semifinals with three goals. His strike marked a stunning comeback for City, capping off an incredible performance that saw them dominate at every turn.

After a nervous first half, Rodri gave City the lead with an amazing curling shot that beat Yann Sommer in the Bayern net. The Spaniard switched feet and placed the ball perfectly.

Bernardo Silva then made it two with his header from a superb Erling Haaland cross, as City completely exposed Bayern's defensive weaknesses. The Norwegian then volleyed home another goal as City dominated Bayern's game.

Pep Guardiola's side displayed an exceptional level of performance on Sunday and it has given them great encouragement ahead of the second leg. They have found form when it matters most this season and now hope to make it three in a row against Germany champions next week.

Haaland’s goal

City will face either Real Madrid or Chelsea in the semi-finals of the Champions League if they complete their second leg against Bayern next week. Their stunning 3-0 win at Etihad Stadium means they already have one foot in the last four.

Rodri and Bernardo Silva put City ahead with two goals in six minutes, but Haaland struck back for City in the second half.

He was left free to direct a great headed pass from John Stones into the net, ending the tie and giving City an opportunity to close out their Champions League quarter-final without having to travel to Munich.

Haaland has achieved a new career high with this goal, surpassing his own previous total of 45 goals from this season - more than double his total from 2021/22 in the Bundesliga and surpassing former Man United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy's record of 43 goals this year.

Bernardo’s goal

Manchester City have taken control of their Champions League tie with three goals and will head into next week's second leg with a commanding lead. Goals from Rodri, Bernardo Silva and Erling Haaland gave Pep Guardiola's side a commanding 3-0 advantage at Etihad Stadium in the quarter-final against Bayern Munich.

City were pressing hard, leaving the Germans vulnerable to some deceptive one-touch passing. Leroy Sane had a great chance early on when he robbed Manuel Akanji and set up Jamal Mussala for a low shot that Ederson saved.

City's wide men were a major threat, with Bernardo providing the crucial touch in the build-up to Rodri's opener. That goal was followed by an incredible finish from Erling Haaland - now up to 50 goal contributions this season!

It was an entertaining game of football, with both sides employing a high-speed, close quarter approach that didn't produce many clearcut chances. City's superior control in the final third earned them their victory and place in another semi-final.

This was a statement of intent from Pep Guardiola's squad who appear very serious about winning this season's Champions League and will now travel to Munich with a commanding three-goal lead for next week's second leg.

City were dominant in the first half and Rodri's thunderbolt gave them a deserved lead, although they struggled to really test Bayern Munich's defense. Haaland then set Bernardo Silva up for his goal - sending it past Yann Sommer to give City two goals at halftime.

Ruben Dias' block of Jamal Mussala's low shot changed the course of the game and put Bayern under real pressure. Dayot Upamecano, who had been superb for Germany during their opening win against Barcelona, made an error that allowed Barcelona to score an important goal.
