Manchester City recorded a 3-0 victory over Bayern Munich in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday night.
Rodri sent the home team ahead in the 27th minute before Bernardo Silva and Erling Braut Haaland registered in the second period to put the Premier League giants on the brink of reaching the semi-finals.
The two sides will lock horns for the second leg in Munich next week, with Bayern needing a huge result to avoid being eliminated in the last eight of the competition.
Man City had the first half-chance of the match in the seventh minute when Kevin De Bruyne found Ilkay Gundogan inside the Bayern box, but the midfielder’s header was always rising over the crossbar.

Bayern’s first sighter arrived four minutes later, with Alphonso Davies striking one from distance, but the Canada international’s effort moved wide of Ederson’s post.
The away side’s goalkeeper Yann Sommer almost gifted Man City a goal in the 14th minute when he took too long on the ball, which allowed Haaland to close him down, but the Switzerland international just about managed to clear the danger for the visitors.
Man City doubled their advantage in the 70th minute, though, with Silva heading a Haaland cross into the back of the net off the post after Upamecano had carelessly lost out to Grealish in a dangerous area.
Julian Alvarez came close to scoring a third for the home side in the 75th minute, but his low strike was saved by Sommer, before Davies managed to clear under pressure from Silva.
Haaland did make it 3-0 to Guardiola’s side in the 76th minute, though, with the Norway international tapping home at the far post after John Stones had headed down into a dangerous area, moving him onto 45 goals in all competitions for the campaign.
Alvarez bent another effort just wide of the post in the 82nd minute, before Sommer did well to keep out a header from Rodri, with the hosts looking for more goals.
