UCL: Bayern Avoid Defeat At Home As Man City March Into Semifinals

Manchester City secured their spot in the semifinals of the UEFA Champions League for the third consecutive year after a 1-1 draw against Bayern Munich on Wednesday, resulting in a 4-1 aggregate win.

Norwegian striker Erling Haaland was the hero of the match, despite missing a first-half penalty, as he powered through Bayern's defence to score his 48th goal in 41 appearances this season.

Bayern had a goal disallowed for offside in the second half and managed to score a late penalty through Joshua Kimmich, but it was not enough to overcome City's aggregate lead.

The German giants struggled to convert their possession and chances into goals, a recurring theme in their campaign.

City now sets up a tantalizing semifinal clash with Real Madrid, led by manager Pep Guardiola's old rival.

Real Madrid famously knocked out City in the semifinals last season, thanks to two injury-time goals that turned the tie in their favour en route to winning the Champions League title.

Football fans around the world are eagerly anticipating the rematch between these two football powerhouses in the upcoming semifinals.
