Manchester City tonight face a daunting task to reach the Champions League semi-finals as Pep Guardiola faces former club Bayern Munich and regular foe Thomas Tuchel.
City are again among the favourites to win the competition, but so are the German giants after a near-faultless European campaign. Julian Nagelsmann has been sacked, though, and now Tuchel, who beat City in the 2021 final while in charge of Chelsea.
Will Tuchel join a team during the season and mastermind another European triumph? Guardiola will have to be at his best to stop him at the first hurdle, and has loanee Joao Cancelo in the opposition to boot.

Man City vs Bayern Munich prediction
Manchester City can beat any team on any day, as their form proves, but a lack of clean sheets will give Bayern hope.
The Bavarians have a perfect record in the Champions League this season and you wouldn't beat against them taking something back with them, but City should have enough to secure a narrow advantage.
Man City to win, 2-1.
