Man City ease past Bayern Munich to set up Real Madrid semifinal


Why Man City are favorites vs. Real Madrid in UCL semis Shaka Hislop explains why Manchester City have the edge over Real Madrid in the Champions League.

Manchester City saw off the challenge of Bayern Munich with a 1-1 draw at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday to cruise into the Champions League semifinals 4-1 on aggregate.

City, chasing their first Champions League title, will take on record 14-time winners and holders Real Madrid in the semifinals for a second successive season.

Trailing 3-0 from the first leg of the quarterfinal tie a week ago, Bayern were spurred on by a passionate home crowd in Munich but couldn't make their early chances count.

Haaland, who missed a first-half penalty, then effectively put the result beyond doubt when capitalising on a slip from Dayot Upamecano to find the net in the 57th minute with his 48th goal of an extraordinary season.

Bayern finally got on the scoresheet with seven minutes of the tie remaining when Joshua Kimmich converted a penalty after a handball was awarded against Manuel Akanji, but by that point the goal was no more than a consolation.

The German champions' misery was then complete in the dying minutes when coach Thomas Tuchel was shown a second yellow card and ejected from the sideline.
