Rodri insists Manchester City will head to Munich next week seeking to extend rather than defend their quarter-final lead.

City have failed before to defend leads in the Champions League, crashing out to Monaco in 2017 despite a two-goal first leg advantage and somehow losing to Real Madrid last season despite being two up going into the 180th minute.
