At last, Bayern Munich had the goal they had craved all night. Thomas Tuchel's side had huffed and puffed ferociously at the City door all evening from the first whistle, although it was testament to the defence of the Premier League champions that it took a dodgy penalty to get them on the scoresheet.

In a monumental defensive effort collectively, Ederson has taken some serious credit away from this tie. Still, there have been so many wobbles from City in this competition that, late as it was, the Bayern goal still posed them a question.

A look to the centre-circle saw their two leaders giving messages that will have delighted Pep Guardiola.

Ilkay Gundogan, on the other side of the centre-circle used his arms to encourage everyone to stay calm. That is exactly what City did.
