The score line, perhaps, was more decisive than the tie, which was summed up by a 20-second spell in the 57th minute. Kingsley Coman darted into the right side of the Manchester City box and drove the ball across goal. Ederson got a hand to it, and his intervention caused the ball to spin away from Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting. The ball squirted parallel to the goal line, two yards out, offering a tap-in had any Bayern player been in the vicinity.
They were not. John Stones gathered and belted the ball clear. After heading the ball down for Kevin De Bruyne, Erling Haaland carried on, accepted the return and, after the hapless Dayot Upamecano had slipped, smashed his finish past Yann Sommer. Suddenly City led Bayern 1–0 on the night, and, although a Joshua Kimmich penalty later made the aggregate score 4–1, Man City’s passage to a semifinal against Real Madrid was secure.
It doesn’t take long for Erling Haaland to bounce back! Another goal for the Man City star
