After a convincing win in first-leg at Etihad, Guardiola’s side will take on Bayern Munich for the second-leg of their Champions League quarter-final at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday.
Man City board their plane for Germany with 3:0 advantage over Bayern Munich, as Tuchel’s side were thrashed in last week’s first leg. Rodri, Erling Haaland and Bernardo Silva scored the goals for Citizens at Ethihad.

On the contrary, Man City defeated Leicester City 3:1 on Saturday. City are now just four points behind league leaders Arsenal in the Premier League Table.
