We simulated Bayern Munich vs Man City to predict Champions League second-leg fixture

Man City head to Germany with a three-goal advantage over Bayern Munich as Pepe Guardiola's side look to advance to the Champions League semi-finals on Wednesday night.

Goals from Rodri, Bernardo Silva and Erling Haaland secure a 3-0 win for City over Bayern Munich in the first leg last week, with the dominant display helping Guardiola's side put one foot in the next round of the Champions League.

Bayern will need to beat City by four goals to overcome the 3-0 deficit, though Guardiola's side haven't conceded four goals in a game since September 2020, when they lost 5-2 to Leicester in the Premier League. Victory for City would see them face Real Madrid in the semis for the second consecutive season.

After just seven minutes, City got off to a nightmare start in comical fashion when Ruben Dias' back pass to Ederson was mis-controlled, and the ball rolled under the foot of the 'keeper and into the
