MANCHESTER CITY and Bayern Munich conclude their Champions League quarter-final encounter THIS Wednesday – but most would argue that the tie is all but over.
Rodri’s 27th minute screamer broke the deadlock in the first leg despite City’s shaky start to the match.
And two quick-fire second half goals from Bernardo Silva and Erling Haaland made sure that Pep’s men had a strangle hold of this mouth-watering fixture.
To make matters worse for Bayern, ex-Manchester City star Leroy Sane and Sadio Mane got into a physical altercation which may have added some disruption to the team.
However, the Bundesliga giants will back themselves to pull off a memorable comeback – something which fans have been treated too often in this monumental competition.
