Man City knocks Bayern out of Champions League

Erling Haaland scored, helping Man City draw 1-1 at Bayern to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League.

No miracle happened for Bayern, as Thomas Tuchel mentioned before the game. Although playing at the Allianz Arena, the German team squandered the opportunity to close the gap after a 0-3 defeat in the first leg. Even with an unusual counter-attacking style, Man City owns clearer opportunities.

The Premier League champions were awarded a first-half penalty after Dayot Upamecano's handball, but Haaland shot into the sky. Early in the second half, Upamecano again made a mistake, letting Haaland pass on a counter-attack. This time, the Norwegian striker did not miss the opportunity to face goalkeeper Yann Sommer.

Efforts for the rest of the time only helped Bayern remove a goal on the penalty spot, when Sadio Mane's cross hit Manuel Akanji's hand. Joshua Kimmich fooled Ederson to help Bayern avoid losing at home. Winning 4-1 on aggregate after two legs sent Man City into the semi-finals of the Champions League for the third year in a row and the third English club in history to do so after Man Utd and Chelsea (both from 2007 to 2019). . Pep Guardiola's teachers and students will rematch Real, the team that eliminated them in the semi-finals last year.
