John Stones says the countless blocks Manchester City's defenders made during Tuesday’s 3-0 Champions League quarter-final first leg win over Bayern Munich were “key moments” that gave the team inspiration to fight on.
A first-half pearler from Rodri before efforts from Bernardo Silva and Erling Haaland in the second period saw the Blues record an emphatic win over the German champions. Both sides mustered plenty of shots at goal with both Ederson and visiting goalkeeper Yann Sommer forced into clever saves.
City threw their bodies on the line to block a swathe of efforts throughout the match, Ruben Dias notably blocking Jamal Musiala's low strike that looked destined for the bottom corner on 25 minutes with the game goalless.
