These two clubs are arguably the standout performers in this year’s Champions League tournament so far. Bayern cruised through the group stage winning six out of six games, before dismantling PSG in the round of 16. Meanwhile, Man City followed up their topping of Group G with a nervy draw away to RB Leipzig, before thrashing the German club 7-0 in the second leg to progress to the quarter-final in style. The winner of this two-legged tie will be viewed as a clear favorite to go on to lift the tournament in several weeks' time.
There’s some added spice to this fixture as current Man City manager Pep Guardiola spent three years as Bayern boss before swapping picturesque Munich for rainy Manchester. This will be Pep’s first time facing his former club since leaving at the end of the 2015/16 season. And, speaking of managers, Bayern are currently adjusting to life under Thomas Tuchel who replaced Julian Nagelsmann last month in a decision that shocked the football world.
Tuchel is the former head coach at Premier League club Chelsea so has plenty of experience squaring off against Guardiola, and even defeated his Manchester rival in the Champions League 2021 final. On the pitch expect all eyes to be on Man City’s seemingly unstoppable striker Erling Haaland who is the tournament’s top scorer with 10 goals in six games. Although the former Borussia Dortmund player has a poor record against the Bavarian side having faced Bayern seven times and lost on every single occasion.
The Man City vs Bayern live stream certainly appears to be the pick of the Champions League quarter-final round, and both these sides are renowned for their attacking prowess. Don’t expect a cagey affair, this could be a contest to see who can outscore the other. You won’t want to miss this mouthwatering Champions League matchup.
