Erling Haaland scored his 48th goal of the season as Manchester City beat Bayern Munich 4-1 on aggregate to set up another Champions League semi-final showdown with Real Madrid.
Holding a commanding 3-0 lead from the first leg, City weathered an early storm in Germany before Haaland’s composed finish in the 57th minute effectively confirmed his side’s place in the last four for a third year in a row.
The Norwegian would have scored sooner if he hadn’t missed a first-half penalty, and even though Joshua Kimmich tied the score with a late penalty kick (83), Pep Guardiola’s team had achieved their goal.
City still has a strong chance of winning their first Champions League championship, but they must first defeat the current champions and 14-time champion Real Madrid, who defeated Chelsea 4-0 on aggregate in their quarterfinal.
