Bayern Munich vs Man City LIVE: Result and reaction from Champions League quarter-final as City cruise through
Bayern Munich 1-1 Man City (1-4 agg): Erling Haaland missed a penalty before later scoring as Pep Guardiola’s men set up a semi-final against Real Madrid
Erling Haaland scored as Manchester City advanced to a Champions League semi-final rematch with Real Madrid after a 1-1 draw against Bayern Munich in the second leg of their quarter-final on Wednesday.
The Norwegian superstar missed a first-half penalty but atoned as City achieved smooth progress with a 4-1 win on aggregate by scoring the opening goal on a counter-attack in the 57th minute, just after Bayern missed a good chance at the other end.
Bayern’s lack of confidence after losing the first leg 3-0 in Manchester showed as they failed to take advantage of numerous chances. Joshua Kimmich scored the Bavarian powerhouses’ consolation from the penalty spot in the 83rd minute after City defender Manuel Akanji was penalised for handball but it was immaterial to the outcome.
Relive all the action as Bayern Munich miss out to Manchester City:
Bayern Munich 0-0 Man City (0-3 agg)
45 mins: Ederson is now booked for time-wasting and delaying the restart. The referee seems to have been convinced to book him by the racket the home fans are making.
Two minutes of added time to play at the end of the first half.

42 mins: Save! That was close. Leroy Sane brings the ball into the box from the left then lays it off to Kingsley Coman. He dances into the box and drills one at goal but Ederson drops low and pushes the ball wide of the near post.
Bayern Munich 0-0 Man City (0-3 agg)
39 mins: How costly will that penalty kick prove to be? For all Bayern’s control and dominance they’ve not penetrated City’s defence yet.
The pressure is still on both teams.
Missed! Bayern Munich 0-0 Man City (0-3 agg)
37 mins: Erling Haaland had to wait almost two minutes before taking the spot kick. The delay seems to put him off and he smokes a powerful shot over the crossbar!
Penalty to Man City!

35 mins: Here’s a shock! Ilkay Gundogan takes a shot from just outside Bayern’s penalty area. The ball hits Dayot Upamecano’s arm then bounces through to Yann Sommer who makes the save.
The referee immediately points to the spot and books Upamecano for handball.
Big moment coming up.
Bayern Munich 0-0 Man City (0-3 agg)
33 mins: For the first time tonight Man City seem able to retain possession and keep Bayern quiet. They run through a few minutes before losing the ball inside their own half.
Bayern fail to utilise the chance and City recover the ball on the edge of their own box.

30 mins: A Bayern Munich corner gets swung onto the head of Choupo-Moting who connects too well with it and nods the ball wide of the target.

27 mins: Manchester City haven’t been allowed to impose themselves on the game but Kevin De Bruyne finds himself with space to operate on the right edge of the box.
He floats a pass over to Jack Grealish who manages to control the ball after it takes an awkward bounce. Grealish lays it off to Nathan Ake who blasts one at goal and pulls it wide of the far post.

24 mins: The last five minutes have been electric. Kingsley Coman and Leroy Sane have switched wings with Thomas Tuchel thinking that Sane will have more joy against Nathan Ake on City’s left side.
Coman is played into the box and and squares a pass over to Sane. Sane rolls it back to Leon Goretzka who belts a first time shot over the crossbar!
