Joao Cancelo took 18 minutes to show Man City what they've lost on Bayern Munich debut

Joao Cancelo marked his Bayern Munich debut by registering a superb assist just 18 minutes into his surprise loan spell.

The Portuguese right-back, 28, suddenly joined the German giants until the end of the season on Tuesday after an alleged fallout with Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola. Cancelo hadn't been happy with his lack of game-time at the Etihad so far this term and after reportedly voicing his displeasure, the defender was told that he was welcome to leave the club before transfer deadline day.

A rapid move to Munich was soon engineered and judging by the excellent start that he's had, Bayern will be keen to take up their option to buy for €70million (£62.1m) when the summer window opens. Handed a start on Wednesday evening by new manager Julian Nagelsmann, Cancelo assisted striker Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting to put the Bundesliga champions 1-0 up in their DFB-Pokal clash away to Mainz.
