When Erling Haaland takes the field for Manchester City on Wednesday in Munich, the Norwegian will face the club who tried to sell the farm to buy him but failed. 

Toothless frontline

Bayern’s late first-leg capitulation in Manchester means the six-time winners need to overcome a 0-3 deficit to make it through to the semis. Not only must Bayern do so against Europe’s form team, but they need to somehow find the goals that the toothless frontline have lacked in 2023. Midway through the second half at the Etihad, Bayern, 1-0 down after a Rodri wonder goal, were dominating possession and had carved out several chances, but failed to put any away.
