Meanwhile, Bayern Munich have a mountain to climb in Germany when they host City at the Allianz Arena next week, in which they must overcome a 3-0 deficit.

A first-half rocket from Rodri and second-half strikes from Bernardo Silva and Erling Haaland ensured the English champions take a comfortable advantage heading to Germany.
