Manchester City withstand Bayern to keep Treble dreams alive but were Real Madrid given a blueprint?

MUNICH, Germany -- Manchester City secured their spot in the semifinals of the Champions League as their 1-1 draw against Bayern Munich on Wednesday night at the Allianz Arena was enough to see them go through 4-1 on aggregate.

City held a 3-0 advantage heading into the second leg leaving Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel calling for a footballing "miracle" to occur. At stages in the first half Bayern looked like they could threaten a remarkable fightback as they tested City's resolve with some quickfire attacks, but it was City who should have gone into the break in the lead as Erling Haaland blazed a penalty over the bar following Dayot Upamecano's hand ball.
