<a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/tags/erling-haaland/" target="_blank">Erling Haaland</a> scored his 45th goal of the season as <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/tags/manchester-city/" target="_blank">Manchester City</a> claimed an emphatic 3-0 victory over Bayern Munich in the <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/tags/champions-league" target="_blank">Champions League</a> quarter-finals. The prolific Norwegian added to a stunning first-half strike from Rodri and a Bernardo Silva header as City took firm command of their last-eight tie in the first leg at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday. Haaland’s 76th-minute goal, six minutes after Silva’s, set a new record for the most scored in a single season by a Premier League player in all competitions. City’s victory over the six-time European champions – and manager Pep Guardiola’s former club – sent out a strong statement as they look to win the coveted continental prize for the first time. <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/tags/bayern-munich" target="_blank">Bayern</a> boss Thomas Tuchel, who plotted Chelsea’s 2021 final win over City, this time had no answer as City gradually ground out control and then finished with a flourish.
