Sané makes Ederson shine!
Leroy Sané fires an off-center free kick which plunges back to the near post but Ederson is vigilant and deflects for a corner.
A Bayern staff member is warned
Still work for Clément Turpin who warns, this time, a member of the Bavarian staff on the bench.
Upamecano is excluded but the flag rises!
What a thrill for Bayern! Erling Haaland is thrown deep and gets the better of Dayot Upamecano who fouls as the last defender. Clément Turpin takes out the red but his assistant’s flag goes up to signal an offside position.
What an opportunity for Sané!
The first big chance of the game is huge! Musiala ideally launches Sané in the depth which crosses his shot a little too much in front of Ederson who was out.
Sommer catches the ball
After a small festival of Silva on his side, the Portuguese finds De Bruyne but his cross is picked up by the Bavarian goalkeeper.
Ruben Dias is doing well
The Portuguese defender fouls as Kingsley Coman went deep. Clément Turpin does not seem to have seen it and decides not to whistle.
The first box
Joao Cancelo is cautioned after a rather gross foul on Bernardo Silva. Clément Turpin gives the first yellow card of the evening.
Clement Turpin has work
Stormy start to the meeting. After Clément Turpin’s reprisals against Thomas Tuchel, Leon Goretzka suffered a verbal warning.
Still Coman
Kingsley Coman still takes speed Nathan Aké in the right lane but the French international sees his center in withdrawal narrowly deflected by Rodri.
The center of Coman is too long
Bayern manage to trap the Bavarian defense on a long ball in the back for Coman who then misses his cross towards Choupo-Moting who was alone in the box.
Turpin reframes Tuchel
After a fault on De Bruyne whistled by Clément Turpin, Thomas Tuchel challenges the French referee who decides to calm the ardor of the German technician.
Silva’s pressing
Bernardo Silva goes to look very high and cuts the transmission from Sommer to De Ligt. The ball flies out of goal.
Stones is vigilant
Kingsley Coman makes the difference in his right lane and crosses towards Choupo-Moting but John Stones is very well placed and saves his team.
Let’s go at the Allianz Arena
French referee Clément Turpin, who had a small technical problem, has just kicked off the Champions League quarter-final second leg between Bayern Munich and Manchester City.
A technical problem for Clément Turpin
The kick-off is slow to be given because Clément Turpin has a problem with his microphone and has returned to the locker room.
Kick-off in 15 minutes
The kick-off for this quarter-final return between Bayern Munich and Manchester City will be given in a quarter of an hour. The task awaiting the Munich residents seems almost insurmountable with a deficit of three goals to fill.
A record in sight for Haaland
The Norwegian striker from Manchester City has shattered everything in his path since his arrival in England. Erling Haaland is aiming for a new record at this meeting. Indeed, if he scores tonight he will become, tied with Ruud Van Nistelrooy, the Premier League player to score 12 goals in a single edition of the Champions League.
Tuchel aims for the miracle
“We will see if there are miracles. I would like to take up the challenge. But we need a good mix of realism and conviction. Everything is possible if we play at our best level. It is our task to ‘light a spark among the crowd,’ said Thomas Tuchel at a press conference.
Haaland loves Bayern
Erling Haaland is the player who has hurt Bayern Munich the most since May 2020 since the Norwegian is the player who has scored the most goals against the Munich since that date in all competitions.
Guardiola’s return to Munich
On the occasion of this quarter-final second leg of the Champions League, Pep Gaurdiola returns to Munich for the first time since leaving the club in 2016.

Bayern in decline? Thomas Tuchel’s ironic response
Thomas Tuchel didn’t like hearing a question about the potential ‘decline of Bayern’.
Hello everyone and welcome to this live from Bayern-Manchester City
Who will join Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-finals? The day after Madrid qualified against Chelsea, it was time for the other shock of the C1 quarter-finals: Bayern Munich received Manchester City at 9 p.m.
The mission promises to be complicated for the Bavarians, heavily beaten 3-0 in the first leg at the Etihad Stadium. But Thomas Tuchel, replacing Julian Nagelsmann and who is having a mixed start on the Bavarian bench, intends to play a bad trick on Pep Guardiola. Which remains cautious about the outcome of the match.
Both clubs are in the fight for the national title in their respective championships. But the two do not display the same serenity. If everything seems to be rolling on the Skyblues side, the situation is a little more delicate with the Bavarians. Especially after the altercation between Leroy Sané and Sadio Mané: the latter was heavily punished for hitting his teammate.
