Manchester City v Bayern Munich ratings: Haaland 9, Rodri 9; Upamecano 4, Sane 7

City take control of Champions League quarter-final with 3-0 first-leg win at Etihad

MANCHESTER CITY RATINGS: Ederson - 8. Called into action just after the restart by a Leroy Sane shot. Made three other saves against Sane to help protect the Citizens' lead. Getty

Manuel Akanji - 8. Blocked a ferocious shot from Kimmich in the 36th minute. Dealt well with the threat of Coman in the first half but struggled to track the runs of Sane in the second. Reuters

Nathan Ake - 8. Had a pop at goal in the 56th minute but was denied by a good save from Sommer. Kept Sane quiet in the first half and Coman in the second. PA

Ruben Dias - 8. Made a goal-saving block against Musiala in the 25th minute. Almost doubled the home side's lead when he controlled the ball with his chest and took aim at goal deep into the second half. PA

John Stones - 8. Hardly put a foot wrong all game, and it was his header across the face of goal that found Haaland put City three up in the 77th minute. PA

Rodri - 9. Opened the scoring with a spectacular curler from more than 25 yards in the 28th minute. Only a mouthwatering save from Sommer denied him a second goal from a header late on. Getty

Bernardo Silva - 9. Assisted Rodri's goal with a simple pass infield. On another occasion, he showed his skill by slipping the ball through the legs of Davies and Pavard with just two touches on the hour. Doubled City's lead with a beautiful header back across goal with 20 minutes remaining. AFP

Kevin De Bruyne - 7. A quick one-two with Gundogan almost led to a chance to double City's lead on the stroke of half-time. Wasn’t at his mercurial best. EPA

Ilkay Gundogan - 7. Denied a shot at goal by a last-ditch Kimmich block in the 20th minute. He then saw a close-range shot surprisingly saved by Sommer soon after. Performed well as the team’s chief creator after De Bruyne was substituted. AFP

Jack Grealish - 8. Displayed great vision to play Haaland in with a back-heeled pass in the 22nd minute. Played Ake in with another back-heeled layoff just shy of the hour mark. Began the move that led to the second goal by stealing the ball from Upamecano and backheeling the ball into the path of Haaland. AP

Erling Haaland - 9. Assisted the second goal with a cross to Bernardo Silva before netting himself, reacting quickest to Stones's header across the face of goal to put his side three up in the 70th minute. AFP

SUBS: Julian Alvarez (De Bruyne, 68') - 7. Should have made it three when he was found in the box by a Gundogan cutback 15 minutes from time. Saw another shot of his flash just wide in the closing stages. Reuters

BAYERN MUNICH RATINGS: Yann Sommer - 8. Had a heart-in-mouth moment in the 14th minute as Haaland almost deflected his clearance into the net. Made a great double save to deny Grealish and Gundogan in the 34th minute. Ended the game with ten saves. PA

Benjamin Pavard - 6. Did well to stop a quick one-two between De Bruyne and Gundogan that could have led to a huge chance on the stroke of half-time. His deflected cross had Ederson worried after the break. AP

Alphonso Davies - 6. Snatched at a shot when he was given space at the edge of Manchester City's penalty area in the early exchanges. Played a superb pass to put Sane through on goal just after the break. Getty

Dayot Upamecano - 4. At fault for City’s second goal, as his indecisiveness gave Grealish the chance to steal the ball and play Haaland in on goal. Made another mistake in defence that wasn’t punished just a minute later. AP

Matthijs de Ligt - 6. Was the more assured of the Bavarian's centre-backs but he got caught out a number of times by City's crisp passing. Was caught ball-watching as the home side grabbed a third. EPA

Leon Goretzka - 5. Stationed just in front of the Bayern Munich backline, Goretzka was overrun by City’s midfielders. He seemed to have too much to do on his own when the home side hit the visitors on the counter. AP

Joshua Kimmich - 7. Showed great awareness of his surroundings by racing to the far post to deny Gundogan a shot a goal in the 20th minute. Made a last-ditch block to deny Haaland a shot at an open goal after the break. AP

Jamal Musiala - 6. Denied by a Dias block when he was presented with Bayern's first real chance in the 25th minute. Skipped past Pep Guardiola’s defensive line in the 41st minute but there was no red shirt in the box to apply the finish to his cutback. Getty

Kingsley Coman - 5. Found very little joy against Akanji at right-back in the first half. Faired a little better after switching wings with Sane in the second half but still didn't trouble Ederson’s goal. PA

Leroy Sane - 7. Tested Ederson with a well-hit shot from the edge of the box just after the restart. Denied by Ederson again four minutes later when he was played through on goal by Davies. Getty

Serge Gnabry - 5. Played up front as the team's most advanced player, and struggled in his unfamiliar role. The duo of Stones and Dias kept him very quiet. PA

SUBS: Sadio Mane (Musiala, 68) - 6. Worked hard after coming on and held the ball up well against City’s defence. He clearly looked more suited to the false nine role in his short time on the pitch than Gnabry. AFP

Thomas Muller (Gnabry, 80) - N/A. A willing runner but had very little impact after coming on. AP

Joao Cancelo (Davies, 80) - N/A. Put in a number of dangerous crosses but none of his teammates were on hand to turn them into the net. Reuters

Erling Haaland scored his 45th goal of the season as Manchester City claimed an emphatic 3-0 victory over Bayern Munich in the Champions League 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.

Bayern 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.
