Matthijs de Ligt makes Bayern Munich admission after Man City Champions League defeat

Matthijs de Ligt said Bayern Munich were left ruing missed chances as his side fell to a 3-0 Champions League quarter-final first leg defeat at Manchester City on Tuesday.

City produced one of their finest European displays at the Etihad, with goals from Rodri, Bernardo Siva and Erling Haaland handing Pep Guardiola's side a three-goal advantage going into next week's second leg. The Blues could have had more in a second-half blitz, were it not for some fine saves by visiting keeper Yann Sommer.

Rodri opened the scoring on 27 minutes, curling a wonderful long range effort into the top corner. The midfielder's goal came when Bayern were in the ascendancy. Indeed the German side could have taken the lead themselves moments earlier when Jamal Musiala's goalbound shot from inside the box was brilliant blocked by Ruben Dias.
