da fezbet: Erling Haaland missed a penalty but then opened the scoring in Manchester City's 1-1 draw at Bayern Munich which sent them into the semi-finals
da dobrowin: Even when he is far from his best, Erling Haaland knows where the net is.
Many players might have let their heads drop after missing a penalty, especially after ballooning the ball over the bar. Not Haaland.
The Norwegian striker dusted himself down and effectively put the tie to bed with a composed finish in the second half before Joshua Kimmich scored late on after a farcical penalty decision which punished Manuel Akanji for the ball striking his arm while he was challenging an opponent.
This was not City's best performance by any stretch of the imagination but they were rarely in any danger against one of the top teams in Europe and are in the Champions League semi-finals for the third year in a row through the 1-1 (4-1 on aggregate) result.
GOAL rates Man City's players from the Allianz Arena…
Getty ImagesGoalkeeper & Defence
Ederson (6/10):
Was kept on his toes all evening and coped well although didn't actually have to make many saves due to Bayern's wastefulness.
John Stones (6/10):
Less influential in midfield than he has been but very assured in defence.
Manuel Akanji (5/10):
Was stretched a bit by Coman and Leroy Sane. Extremely harsh to have conceded the penalty.
Ruben Dias (7/10):
City's most dominant defender again. Beaten to the ball a couple of times but made some important blocks and kept his head.
Nathan Ake (5/10):
Picked up a booking and struggled to deal with Kingsley Coman on a few occasions. Forced off in second half with a suspected hamstring injury which could be bad news for City.

Kevin De Bruyne (7/10):
Played a wonderful ball to Haaland for the goal and his passing had Bayern on the back foot. The Bavarians should be thankful each and every day that he left the Bundesliga.
Rodri (5/10):
Didn't manage to exert his usual control on the midfield, particularly as Bayern bossed the first half.
Bernardo Silva (6/10):
Played a couple of sloppy passes and did not connect well with his team-mates. But this was not a match in which his playmaking was particularly needed, given the aggregate score.
Getty ImagesAttack
Ilkay Gundogan (8/10):
Not very effective in attack, taking too long to shoot on more than one occasion.
Erling Haaland (6/10):
Far from his best display and as well as skying the penalty he blasted the ball straight at Yann Sommer from a good opportunity. But responded as he knows best, with a ruthless finish. Even his bad days wind up looking pretty good.
Jack Grealish (7/10):
Worked hard in defence and also posed Bayern a few problems when on the ball. His close control and dribbling also frustrated the hosts. Enjoying life on the pitch this season more than his debut campaign with City.
Getty ImagesSubs & Manager
Aymeric Laporte (7/10):
When he was on the pitch Bayern's grip on the game started to fade.
Julian Alvarez (N/A):
Brought on for the final six minutes.
Kyle Walker (N/A):
Only introduced for the final two minutes.
Pep Guardiola (7/10):
Took no chances with his team selection and despite not playing superbly his side were rarely in any serious danger.
