City turn on the style in Champions League quarter-final

✳ Man City 3 Bayern 0
Manchester, UK |  THE INDEPENDENT  |  City will take a commanding Champions League quarter-final advantage to the Allianz Arena next week after a clinical attacking display ensured a 3-0 win against Bayern Munich on an incredible Tuesday night at the Etihad.

Rodrigo scored the opener on 27 minutes in front of an expectant 52,257 Etihad crowd – and what an effort it was.

Collecting the ball from a pinpoint Bernardo Silva pass from the right, Rodrigo swivelled past Jamal Musiala and sent a rocket left-foot drive past the helpless Yann Sommer in the Bayern goal.

Bernardo doubled the advantage with a thumping header on 69 minutes, powerfully meeting Erling Haaland’s cross from the left.

Haaland made it three with a right-foot effort on 76 minutes, his 45th of the season ensuring he’s now scored the most goals in all competitions by a player at a Premier League club.
