MUSIALA LEFT FOR DEAD BY RODRI
It was Musiala, who a minute earlier spurned a great chance to give Bayern the lead, who Rodri span away from before unleashing that shot.

RODRI SCORES A STUNNER
Manchester City 1-0 Bayern Munich. Rodri bends a shot into the top corner from 25 yards, after spinning clear of his marker to give City the lead! That's a brilliant goal.

26'
DIAS MAKES KEY BLOCK
Bayern's first real chance falls to Musiala, after Sane does will on the left and cuts the ball back, but Dias makes a super block.
23'
AKE STOPS COMAN
Coman squares Ake up inside the penalty area, but cannot get past the Dutchman. Excellent defending.
22'
HAALAND SCUFFS SHOT
An easy save for Sommer, but a good move from City to create the opening.
21'
SILVA GIVING DAVIES ISSUES
One area where City have looked good is down their right, and Silva helps them win a corner but it is then wasted; overhit by De Bruyne, then Silva passes the ball into touch when it's recycled.
18'
BAYERN TAKE STING OUT OF START
Other than Sommer's moment of being too lethargic in possession, Bayern have started assuredly and done well to stop an early storm from forming.
14'
HAALAND MIGHTY CLOSE
Sommer takes his sweet time a yard from goal, with Haaland closing him down, and the forward gets a foot on the ball when Sommer finally does pass. Luckily for Bayern it does not ricochet into the net.
11'
DAVIES DRAGS WIDE
With Bayern enjoying some sustained possession, Akanji was at right-back and Stones centre-half.
10'
AKANJI LUCKY NOT TO GET BOOKED
The Swiss with a clumsy tackle on Musiala.
8'
CITY CHANCE
Silva is too good for Davies and tees up De Bruyne to cross. It's a good cross and Gundogan rises highest, but cannot keep his header down.
7'
STONES IN MIDFIELD WHEN CITY HAVE BALL
A continuation of their recent Premier League shape, as expected. So broadly a 3-5-2.
5'
HAALAND SHOOTS OVER
The Norwegian's first effort, from a tight angle, is off the mark.
4'
NERVY MOMENT FOR CITY
Akanji and Ederson are not on the same page, with the defender taking the ball away from his onrushing goalkeeper. No harm done though.
1'
GREALISH TWINKLE TOES
Man City make a fast start as Greaslish beats three players on the left, but De Bruyne waits too long for the square ball and Bayern scramble clear.

AN EVEN HEAD-TO-HEAD
In six past Champions League meetings, these two have three wins apiece. All came in the group stage, so the stakes are higher tonight.
