The quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League get underway between Manchester City and Bayern Munich on Tuesday 11 April at the Etihad Stadium. Bayern and Bürger play the first leg to head into the half-time of the tournament, which will be one of the most attractive clashes of the day Champions League.
On the one hand the team pep Guardiola has found his ‘target animal’, Erling Haland, who returned for the Premier League against Southampton and was dispatched with a brace. Signed to finish games, the Norwegian has lived up to expectations and fully lived up to them as he has scored 44 goals this season, including 10 in the Champions League.

Manchester’s would not change their starting XI but would expect to lose Phil Foden, who is recovering from appendicitis. In addition, his doubts would be to place Riyad Mahrz or Bernardo Silva in the left sector, both of great importance.
On the other hand, Bayern come home after “hectic” weeks in which they fired their former coach Nagelsmann Thomas Tuchel, but were eliminated from the DFB Cup. Likewise, they’ve lost and regained the lead in the Bundesliga, so they’ll be looking for a win down the road to cheer them up more.
