City host the German giants at the Etihad for the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final. Cancelo has made 154 appearances for Pep Guardiola’s side – and remains contracted to the club until June 2027 – yet could play a part in ending their Champions League dream.

The 28-year-old full-back joined Bayern on loan until the end of the season in January after falling out with Guardiola. He had been a regular part of the City side since arriving from Juventus in 2019 and defender Ruben Dias has admitted it will be odd going up against him.
