Manchester City demonstrated their ruthless and lethal game once again as they defeated Bayern Munich by 3-0 to take complete control of their Champions League quarter-final first leg. Rodri’s 25-yard spectacular broke the deadlock at a tense Etihad Stadium in the first half, giving Pep Guardiola’s team the lead.
Although After the break, goals from Bernardo Silva and Erling Haaland gave City a comfortable lead over Bayern. This will boost City’s confidence while going into the second leg in Bavaria next week. Notably, It was a gameplan in which Bayern looked to keep the pressure on and, despite poor passing in defence, it worked for the first half with City only leading 1-0 at the break.
However, Despite Leroy Sane’s best efforts, City would get their end goal by capitalizing on Dayot Upamecano’s mistakes to put the game out of reach for Bayern. This 3-0 win ensures that City can avoid difficulties in the away leg, but this is a game that has demonstrated why this may be City’s year to win the Champions League. Even pulling Kevin de Bruyne in the second half out of caution saw the team improve rather than suffer in the attack. Their depth and determination at this stage of the season are unmatched.
“I’m Emotionally destroyed”, reacts Pep Guardiola after City’s victory
Pep Guardiola believes Manchester City’s Champions League victory against Bayern Munich has taken ten years off him after the Bundesliga champions did their part in an exciting match. The final score of 3-0 appeared to be comfortable for City, who put on a show that sent a message to the rest of the Champions League, but Bayern had chances in a high-quality game.
He said, “It was not comfortable. I’m Emotionally destroyed. I have 10 more years today. It was so a demanding game. Now I have to relax, have a day off for the guys, and prepare for Leicester. I know exactly what you have to do there. If you don’t perform well they can score one, two, or three. I know that. The players know that. It’s an incredible result, but we have to do our game with huge, huge personality.”
