Haaland set a record when Man City beat Bayern

Haaland's 3-0 winner was his 45th goal in all competitions this season, surpassing the old record held by Mohamed Salah and Ruud van Nistelrooy. The Norwegian striker also contributed with an assist for Bernardo Silva to head, making it 2-0. Two goals within six minutes give Man City a big advantage in this match.

It is too early to talk about the championship, but the performance against the mighty opponent from Germany suggests that this could be the year of Man City and Pep Guardiola in the European arena. The Premier League champions ended the game with less possession (46%), a rarity when they played at home, but scored three goals and kept a clean sheet in a tug of war.

The 3-0 result surprised many people. Man City did not dominate, but took advantage of the opportunity better and had individuals to shine at the right time. On the contrary, a big defeat could be a blow to the mentality of Bayern and newly appointed coach Thomas Tuchel will face a big test in the second leg at the Allianz Arena in the middle of next week.

The two teams played double attack from the first minutes and constantly put pressure to make the opponent make mistakes at home. Haaland warned Bayern's defense in the fifth minute, with a corner shot wide of the post. Then there was the ice phase to receive a cross from Kevin De Bruyne and then headed over the bar by Ilkay Gundogan. Haaland proved very determined in the rematch with Bayern. His aggressive moves many times opened up space for the home team.

But Man City's opening goal was imprinted with the imprint of midfielder Rodri. Receiving the ball in front of the box, he turned around Jamal Musiala and cut his heart with his non-dominant left foot to a high corner, leaving Yann Sommer unable to reach the ball. If it weren't for Sommer's brilliance a few minutes later, Bayern could have lost more to Gundogan's close-range finish.

Bayern put pressure at the end of the first half and at the beginning of the second half to find an equalizer. In the meeting with the old club, Leroy Sane owns the most opportunities on the away team. Two powerful long shots show the danger from the German player's left foot. The most unfortunate situation was the situation Sane faced but could not beat Ederson in the 49th minute.
