Goals from Rodrigo, Bernardo Silva and Erling Haaland handed City handed City a crucial advantage ahead of next Wednesday’s return fixture at the Allianz Arena.
Pep Guardiola‘s men were full value for our convincing win over the German champions, turning on the style at the Etihad Stadium.
Rodrigo‘s spectacular long range finish midway through the first half was an indication of how the night would unfold for a City side who were in control for the majority of proceedings.

The advantage was doubled when Jack Grealish pounced on a defensive lapse to set up Haaland, who in turn clipped the ball into the path of an unmarked Bernardo at the far post.
And two became three soon after, when Haaland went from provider to scorer for his 45th goal of the season, a record for a player at a Premier League club.
It was an imperious display by City, and one that will go down as a Champions League classic at the Etihad Stadium.
