Manchester City absolute demolished Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. The Citizens ended up running out 3-0 winners, now look like the favourites outright for a first European title and the return leg looks like a mere formality – what happened to the Pep Guardiola who overthinks everything?
But perhaps what was so impressive about this result was just how controlled it was. City have a habit of dropping the ball when it comes to these crunch games in Europe, while Bayern have heritage when it comes to the continental stage, with Thomas Tuchel, in particular, thwarting the Catalan boss in recent years. It wasn't supposed to be quite this easy.
