THE NOTEBOOK: Joao Cancelo avoids stepping on City's badge in mark of respect before he's BOOED on awkward return... while Leroy Sane pours cold water on a move back to Manchester and Rodri produces midfield masterclass

Erling Haaland scored his 45th goal of the season as Manchester City claimed an emphatic 3-0 victory over Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarter-finals.

The prolific Norwegian added to a stunning first-half strike from Rodri and a Bernardo Silva header as City took firm command of their last-eight tie in the first leg at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday.

Haaland's 76th-minute goal, six minutes after Silva's, set a new record for the most scored in a single season by a Premier League player in all competitions.

City's victory over the six-time European champions - and manager Pep Guardiola's former club - sent out a strong statement as they look to win the coveted continental prize for the first time.
