Bayern Munich Stumble, Manchester City Seize Control in Champions League Clash
Bayern Miss Early Opportunity, City Dominate
Bayern Munich's hopes of advancing to the Champions League semi-finals suffered a setback after they were held to a goalless draw at home by Manchester City. The German giants, who had won their last five games in all competitions, failed to capitalize on an early chance and were outplayed by a clinical City side.
Sané's Missed Opportunity
The match started brightly for Bayern, with Leroy Sané wasting a golden opportunity to put the hosts ahead in the opening minutes. The winger found himself unmarked in the area but somehow contrived to send his shot wide of Ederson's goal.
City's Dominance
City gradually grew into the game and began to control possession. They created several chances throughout the match but were thwarted by some fine saves from Manuel Neuer. Riyad Mahrez and Bernardo Silva both came close for the visitors, but the Bayern goalkeeper was in inspired form.
The second leg of the tie will be played at Manchester City's Etihad Stadium on March 17th. Pep Guardiola's side, who are in impressive form, will be confident of securing their place in the next round. Bayern, on the other hand, will need to produce a much-improved performance if they are to overturn the deficit.
