Erling Haaland atoned for a first-half penalty miss by sealing Manchester City’s place in the Champions League semifinals with a 1-1 draw at Bayern Munich.
City brought a 3-0 first-leg lead to the Allianz Arena and had a golden opportunity to extend their advantage when Ilkay Gundogan’s 35th-minute shot struck Dayot Upamecano’s arm.
Haaland’s haul of 47 goals in all competitions this season, a haul that included seven out of seven from the penalty spot before he blasted into the stand behind Yann Sommer’s goal.
He made amends before the hour, sitting down the accident-prone Upamecano before lashing into the top corner. Joshua Kimmich netted a consolation penalty for Bayern after Manuel Akanji was harshly punished for handball.

Bayern made most of the running against an unusually skittish City before halftime, with Leroy Sane passing up a glorious chance when through one-on-one against his former club.
Upamecano had a let-off in the 17th minute when he brought down Haalandas the last man, only for the red card to be overturned because the City striker had strayed fractionally offside.
Leon Goretzka thrashed over when well placed but the worst miss for the half came from Haaland eight minutes before the break.
City went ahead after an incredible passage of play in the 57th minute. Ederson saved from Kingsley Coman and the ball ran across the away goalmouth. John Stones booted forward from the byline and Haaland was away after flicking on to Kevin De Bruyne.
The Norway star collected the return pass, Upamecano tumbled forlornly to the floor and there was little doubt when it came to the finish.
Bayern levelled on the night after substitute Sadio Mane played the ball into Akanji’s arm. Kimmich did the rest as Thomas Tuchel giggled at one of many decisions that perplexed him over the course of the night. He ended it in the stands, sent off after receiving a second yellow card for dissent.

Bayern Munich vs Man City live updates, highlights from the Champions League
Fulltime: It’s all over. Manchester City are into the Champions League semifinals for the third consecutive season. It’s a comfortable aggregate margin but they’ve had to do a lot of grubby stuff against a fine Bayern side over these two legs. The Bundesliga champions will improve under Tuchel on this evidence, but they ran into a team more well drilled than it’s possible for them to be.
90th minute+2: Mane fires wide at the near post under pressure from Akanji. Ederson reckons he’s got some cramp. The Bayern players do not agree.
90th minute: There will be five minutes of added time but plenty of Bayern fans heading for the exits have already seen enough.
87th minute: Glorious, goading play from Grealish, who leads the Bayern defenders a merry dance. Substitute Stanisic decides he’s seen quite enough of that and boots him just outside the box. Free-kick, yellow for Stanisic and Kyle Walker is coming on for Kevin De Bruyne.
86th minute: Laporte is booked for wrapping his arms around Davies’ shoulders. That’s an obvious booking. Tuchel is u pin arms and he referee has had quite enough. The Bayern Munich coach gets a second yellow card and is send to the stands.
85th minute: Tel, who’s been lively since he’s come on, hits a shot on the turn over from 20 yards.
84th minute: Alvarez comes on for Haaland, who’s about as popular as violent illness at the Allianz Arena.
83rd minute: GOOOOOAAAALLLLLL!!!!! Joshua Kimmich!!!!
Kimmich lifts he first penalty of his career coolly down the middle. One down and three to go for Bayern. They’ve seven minutes plus injury time to get them. Stranger things have happened but not very many.
82nd minute: Tuchel is laughing his head off at that nonsense. Akanji somewhat less amused.
81st minute: Penalty check for Bayern. Mane seemed to boot his cross against Akanji’s boot and it spun up against his arm. That seems incredibly harsh, but referee Turpin points to the spot.
77th minute: A sprawling, scrambling Ruben Dias, floundering like a beached fish with his arms behind his back. Clears behind from Coman. He’s been talismanic for City this evening.
75th minute: GOOOAAA….No! Tel thinks he’s reduced the arrears as he tucks home the rebound from Coman’s shot but the Frenchman was offside on the end of Kimmich’s pass.
72nd minute: Bayern are continuing to press gamely forward and Muller and tel are on for Musiala and Choupo-Moting.
68th minute: Aymeric Laporte is into the fray in place of the Netherlands international.
67th minute: Oh no, problems for Nathan Ake, who looks like he’s injured a hamstring. That’d be rotten luck for a player who has had a superb season.
65th minute: Double change for Bayern, with Davies and Mane replacing Cancelo and Sane. The latter pair don’t exactly enjoy the warmest exchange. But, hey, at least no one punched anyone.
60th minute: Grealish toys with Pavard and wins a free-kick on the edge of the box. The France defender is booked. All of the air has gone out of Bayern and this could be a long half hour.
57th minute: GOOOOOAAAAALLLLLLL!!!!! Erling Haaland!!!!
Oh my, an incredible passage of play! Bayern almost score, Ederson saves from Coman and the ball rolls across the line. Stones pumps forward and Haaland has Upamecano in his sights after flicking on to De Bruyne. The accident-prone defender falls over, Haaland takes aim and rifles into the top corner.
55th minute: Change for Haaland! City break and Grealish plays in Haaland. It’s a decent change, angle against him and he fires at Sommer.
54th minute: Haaland clobbers into Goretzka. The referee lets everyone get on with it. Ake more blatantly munches into Pavard. That is a yellow card.
52nd minute: Rodri carelessly cedes possession. Coman is on the charge again and has another effort blocked.
49th minute: Coman cuts inside and clips a shot that deflects off Grealish for Bayern’s first corner of the second half. Sane’s limp effort is cleared at the near post.
46th minute: We go again!
Halftime: A very spicy half ends with Gundogan reacting to some afters from Kimmich and boh sets of players piling in, with a heavyweight battle between Haaland and Goretzka catching the eye. Yellows for Gundogan and Kimmich. It’s job done so far for City, although it would probably be mission accomplished if Haaland had converted from the penalty spot. Bayern will take heart from the fact City have not played with anything remotely approaching their usual composure. Tuchel’s men are not out of this just yet.
45th minute+1: Hell of a scramble in the City box. Dias makes a vital block as Choupo-Moting backheels towards goal. The ball breaks back out and Choupo-Moting inadvertently blocks a goalbound shot from Coman. Mayhem.
44th minute: Sane has a shot for the millionth time in this tie. It goes wide. Ederson doesn’t have to time-waste often. He’s very bad at it and gets a yellow card.
42nd minute: Sane and Coman combine, with the latter forcing Ederson to push wide.
38th minute: Bayern fly up the other end and Kimmich fires wide. A goal then would have been massive in terms of momentum after the Haaland penalty miss.
37th minute: HAALAND MISSES!!!! Oh my! With his 48th goal of the season up for grabs, the City striker clatters into the Bayern fans behind the goal. The Allianz errupts. That surely would have been tie over.

35th minute: Penalty to City! Ilkay Gundogan takes a speculative shot, Upamecano had his arms behind his back but he pops out out and the ball clips it.
33rd minute: City have only had 39% possession. Basically unheard of for a Pep Guardiola team. They’re putting together a little spell now, finally fashioning a little bit of room to breath.
30th minute: Rodri gets back to head behind. Dias shouts at everyone. City are a lot of things here. Composed isn’t one of them.
29th minute: Musiala goes down under a challenge from Rodri on the edge of the box. Replays show a shove and an arm in the back. Little bit of dark arts for you there on the referee’s blind side.
27th minute: Ake, who’s had a bit of a torrid time so far tonight, ventures forward and sends a speculative effort skipping wide from about 25 yards.
24th minute: Ake loses as Coman puts a ball across the City box. Sane sets it back to Goretzka who thrashes over. Another good chance wasted.
21st minute: Sane again! A vicious free-kick from out on the right and Ederson pushes around his near post one-handed.
19th minute: That whole situation left Thomas Tuchel very animated. He gets a booking, which means he’s weirdly closer to a red card than his player that was just sent off.
18th minute: Red card!!! Hang on, no!!! De Bruyne plays through Haaland and Upamecano brings him down! It’s a professional foul, cut and dried. But Haaland was offside!

17th minute: Huge chance for Leroy Sane. Bayern turn over possession and they have runners on City. Sane is away from Stones but he whips wide after Ederson narrows the angle. Has to score.

15th minute: First vague threat from City as De Bruyne twists into space towards the right channel and his low cross is pouched by Sommer.
12th minute: De Bruyne just ran into the hulking Upamecano and bounced off him onto the floor. That was pretty funny.
11th minute: Cancelo trips up his old mate Bernardo and goes into the book. A long 80 minutes in store for the Bayern left-back.
10th minute: Now Bernardo Silva hacks out of the area. City seem a bit caught between two stools with their approach at the moment. They don’t need to take the game to Bayern but they don’t look particularly convincing sitting on the lead.
9th minute: Coman gets down the left again and his cross just evades Choupo-Moting.
7th minute: De Ligt fairly needlessly blunders into the back of De Bruyne. The City midfielder takes some time out on the floor. Bayern need to keep this game moving and fouls like that aren’t going to help.
5th minute: Dias takes a heavy touch and Bayern could be in here. Alas, Choupo-Moting is offside. Bayern aren’t happy that, when trying to remedy the situation, Dias left a little bit on Coman.
2nd minute: Dangerous cross from Coman aimed towards the returning Choupo-Moting. Stones gets up well to head clear.
1st minute: Check… one,two… one, two. We’re off!
Errrm, a few minutes til kickoff? The refereee’s communication device isn’t working. So the players are standing around as the atmosphere whips up.

15 mins from kickoff: Joao Cancelo is obviously the headline inclusion in that Bayern defence, but it’s interesting to see Thomas Tuchel keeping the faith with Dayot Upamecano. Looking at the bench, that might be down to a lack of serviceable alternatives at centre-back but the France international had a bit of a shocker in Manchester and his error led to the game-breaking second goal from Bernardo Silva.

1 hr 40 mins from kickoff: Of course, Guardiola isn’t the only link between the two clubs. Joao Cancelo is on loan at Bayern from City after a shock January move but is again unlikely to start. Ex-Blues winger Leroy Sane impressed on his return to the Etihad Stadium last week. The Germany international was directly involved in eight of Bayern’s 12 goal attempts in Manchester, firing off five shots as part of a relentless duel with Ederson and creating three other chances for teammates.

MORE: ‘Overthinking’ Pep Guardiola’s biggest tactics hits and misses remembered
2 hrs 30 mins from kickoff: A lot of the intrigue around this tie centred upon when Tuchel appeared to have Guardiola’s number as Chelsea head coach in 2021. His team beat City three times over the course of six weeks, in the FA Cup semifinals, away in the Premier League and, most famously, 1-0 in the Champions League final. Since then, Guardiola has an aggregate score of 5-0 against Tuchel in three meetings, with last week’s victory padding a pair of 1-0 victories against Chelsea last season.
3 hours from kickoff: Of course, for Bayern to stand much chance tonight, they probably need to stop City from scoring. Erling Haaland feels like the fairly obvious problem there, sitting as he does on a mere 47 goals this season. Despite Borussia Dortmund’s overall misery at their rivals’ hands, Haaland’s record against Bayern is pretty impressive.

3 hrs 30 mins from kickoff: Bayern struggled without a recognised centre forward in the first leg. Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting could be ready to return for a side needing goals, although boss Thomas Tuchel will not open up too soon. “The first objective is to win the first half,” he said. “There’s no need to feel rushed.”
4 hours from kickoff: City have a fully fit squad to choose from tonight, which could mean Phil Foden’s first action since having his appendix removed last month. The England attacker has 13 goals and six assists in 36 appearances across all competitions for City this season, putting him third overall in the dressing room behind Julian Alvarez and you know who.
4 hrs 30 mins from kickoff: Some of Pep Guardiola’s most painful coaching memories come back to Champions League second legs at the Allianz Arena. In 2014, Real Madrid ransacked his Bayern 4-0 to march into the final, while Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid prevailed on away goals two years later. Handily, he has a three-goal buffer that should prevent Manchester City from suffering a similar fate this time around.
5 hours from kickoff: Hello and welcome to The Sporting News’ live coverage of the Champions League quarterfinal second leg between Bayern Munich and Manchester City. Erling Haaland rounded off the scoring as City won last week’s first leg 3-0 and a semifinal against Real Madrid lies in wait for whoever prevails at the Allianz Arena.

Bayern Munich vs Man City lineups
Tuchel had a string of big decisions to make ahead of kickoff with former Liverpool forward Sadio Mane on the bench following a club suspension.
The Senegal international is alleged to have punched teammate Leroy Sane after their defeat in Manchester, but he is in the matchday squad, with top scorer Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting returning to the starting XI.
