Manchester City's defense leads Champions League charge as Rodri, Haaland shine against Bayern Munich

MANCHESTER, England -- Manchester City are in control of their Champions League quarterfinal against Bayern Munich after a dominant 3-0 win at the Etihad Stadium.

Pep Guardiola's team still have to finish the job against Thomas Tuchel's Bayern next week but goals from Rodri, Bernardo Silva and Erling Haaland mean they already have one foot in the last four.

Rodri's strike in the first half was a stunner while Haaland made a goal and scored one in the second half to reach 45 goals for the season, the most ever by a Premier League player in a single campaign.
