Bayern Munich (H) - CL QF | Post Match Thread

I just wish that game tonight was the final - it deserved to be. Both teams came into the game with exactly the right attitude - wanting to win, trying to play football and no stupid writhing around on the floor that we see on a lot of CL games. Credit to the ref as well as I thought he waved play on a few times when another would've pulled everyone up.

Defensively we looked rock solid. Dias, Ake and Akanji were brilliant. Make no mistake, that Bayern team are SUPERB and if we don't win it, they will. What a XI they have. I've criticised Ederson in the past for not concentrating but he was superb as well tonight - calm, great saves and great distribution.

The goal from Rodri was brilliant and I just wish he'd do it more often! The Silva goal was set up magnificently by Haaland and what a footballer Haaland is. He was the difference up front tonight and constantly harrassed them. I bet those defenders can't wait to get the second leg out of the way - he pushed them, banged into them, pressed them, tackled them and then set up Silva's header. Just brilliant.

Finally, we're starting to see Grealish blossom. What a player he's becoming. He's really becoming one of our most important players because he is now becoming a proper attacking threat and it's rare to see him lose the ball, which is incredible seeing how often he dribbles it. I can see him becoming the club captain one day!

Anyway, great night, great result and we've got some breathing space for the second leg.

COME ON CITY!!!
