Haaland rushes
Grealish shifts Haaland down the left following a high recovery. The strike from the Norwegian striker is crushed and easily picked up by Sommer.
De Bruyne dangerous
At the end of the race on the right, De Bruyne places a threatening cross at the near post. The ball is extended by Kimmich for a corner. It does nothing, following a failed combination.
It doesn’t get carried away
Not helped by capricious weather, the two teams are struggling to be dangerous, even though they are not yet taking all the risks.
Sané countered
His cross attempted in a touch on the left side is repelled by the English defense. Bayern Munich remain high.
Grealish is doing well
Guilty of a rough tackle from behind on Coman, the England winger escapes the yellow card.
Sommer is close to disaster!
On a back pass, the Swiss goalkeeper takes his time before making his recovery. Haaland sprints to counter the ball, very close to crossing the line.
The visitors press
Manchester City is hampered by the opposing pressing in its recovery, within a first quarter of an hour still fairly calm.
Davies crushes his strike
First attempt for the Bavarians. Davies takes his chance in front of the box but crosses his shot too much, which passes to the right of the goal.
Bayern set up
The visitors recover the ball and keep it in the opposing camp, following a long phase of possession of the Skyblues.
Gündogan misses his head
In two touches, De Bruyne controls and crosses from the right side. Gündogan wins his duel but sends his head kick over.
Tricky playing conditions
Gusts of wind and rain invite themselves into this start to the match in Manchester.
Haaland is already taking his chance
Served by De Bruyne in front of the area, Haaland is centered on the left and triggers a shot from a tight angle. This goes over Sommer’s goal.
Ederson is not reassured
The Cityzens goalkeeper does not understand Akandji, who prefers to serve as a partner despite his exit. The ball is saved.
Good defense from Dias
The Portuguese defender intervenes perfectly in front of Gnabry, gone in depth.
It’s off between Manchester City and Bayern Munich!
The Bavarians are hiring, good game to all!
Imminent start of the game
The twenty-two actors leave the Etihad Stadium tunnel. The kick-off of this huge shock will be given in a few moments.
A Spaniard whistling
Jesus Gil Manzano will be the evening referee. He never led both teams.
Real Madrid or Chelsea in the semi-finals
The winner of this double confrontation will be pitted once morest one of the last two winners of the competition for a place in the final.
Three players under threat
A Cityzen, Akandji, as well as two Bavarians, Mazraoui and Kimmich, will miss the return match in the event of a yellow card received this evening.
Skyblues invincible at home
Manchester City remain on an impressive run of 24 games without defeat in front of their home crowd in the European Cup, including 22 wins and 2 draws. Either way, he can break the home unbeaten record for an English club in the Champions League.
A first in the knockout stage
The two teams have faced each other six times in the Champions League, each time in the group stage. The balance sheet is three successes on each side. In the last duel, in November 2014, Manchester City won thanks to a hat-trick from Agüero.
