If he missed a penalty, Haaland nevertheless pressed Bayern this Wednesday in the quarter-final return of the C1 (1-1; 4-1 on aggregate). Manchester City thus joining Real Madrid in the last four.
There was no miracle for Bayern this Wednesday at the Allianz Arena. Despite obvious goodwill, and great opportunities to credit to the Sané (17e21e), Coman (42e56e) or Choupo-Moting (45e+1), Manchester City did not really shake in Bavaria. Winner 3-0 in their lair a week earlier, the club in the sky blue jersey (and fluorescent yellow for the occasion) has once again mastered its subject on the lawn of Munich.
If Haaland missed the mark in the first act by sending to the stands the penalty generously awarded to his team by Mr. Turpin (37e), the Norwegian caught up well in the second half, impeccable with composure and power on a counter quickly concluded before the hour mark (0-1, 57e). The 12e goal of the cyborg this season on the European scene – in eight outings – the 48e in 41 official matches with the Citizens in all competitions.
For the honor, Bayern equalized well, on another questionable penalty obtained by Mané and transformed by Kimmich (1-1, 83e). But the damage had already been done for a long time for the formation of a Thomas Tuchel who in the last moments of the game saw red, by dint of invective Mr. Turpin (86e). On May 9 or 10, it is on the lawn of Real Madrid, holder of the trophy, that we will find these formidable Skyblues, in the semi-final first leg of the Champions League. With most certainly the favorite sign on the back.
