Manchester City did as expected and eliminated Bayern from the strongest competition.
On Wednesday evening, Bayern and City played to a 1:1 draw after Manchester 3:0 for the “citizens”, and Inter and Benfica played an entertaining 3:3 after Lisbon’s 2:0 for the “Nerrazuro”. In this way, the passing of the English and Italian clubs completed the pairings of the semi-finals of the Champions League. In double matches on the 9th and 10th of May, and then on the 16th and 17th, they will play:
- Milan – Inter
- Real Madrid – Manchester City
One of these four teams will be the champion of Europe, while among them is the current defender and the most successful club of this competition, Real. Judging by what has been seen so far throughout the season, City, who played a “warrior” match in Munich on Wednesday against Bayern, who were written off in advance, must be declared the first favorite. The Bavarians under the leadership of Thomas Tuchel did not want to give up without a fight and just lend a hand to Pep Guardiola’s team, they played fiercely and fought for victory literally until the last moment. Although she didn’t bring them much.
Spectacular forward of “Citizens” Erling Holland did not take advantage of the penalty which was hidden again by the clumsy Dayot Upamecano, but then he still got his revenge for the taunts from the stands. The Norwegian scored a goal in the 57th minute, then put his finger to his mouth to tell the Bayern fans to shut up. The Bavarians did not give up and equalized with Joshua Kimmich’s penalty in the 83rd minute, but then failed to convert – although they gave everything they could to do so. However, the semi-finals this year was their ultimate limit in the Champions League, because the better team will definitely go to the semi-finals.
