Manchester City took complete control of their Uefa Champions League quarter-final tie, beating Bayern Munich 3-0 in the first leg at the Etihad Stadium.
Rodri’s curling strike from long range in the first half gave Pep Guardiola’s side the lead against the German champions before Bernardo Silva headed in on the break just seconds later. Leroy Sane tested Ederson several times, but the weakness of Bayern’s defense was clear.
Erling Haaland, who has not managed a single draw against his opponents in seven games as a Borussia Dortmund player, exposed that frailty when he scored the third goal as Bayern, and the struggling Dayot Upamecano in particular, began to wilt under City’s pressure.
