Both Bayern and Manchester City are coming off of domestic league wins into the first leg of the quarter-finals at the Etihad. Bayern exacted revenge over SC Freiburg having lost to them in the DFB-Pokal last week, and City walloped Southampton 4-1, having won their eighth straight match across all competitions. Both sides have every reason to be confident heading into the colossal occasion.

Football was finally played after 11 minutes, though the opening exchanges took place largely in the middle third of the pitch, with neither defence conceding any gilt-edged chances. SC had a sight of the Frankfurt goal on 17 minutes, but Ritsu Doan lost out in an aerial battle with Willian Pacho. The pluckiness demanded by Maximilian Eggestein was certainly on show. Freiburg were looking sharp, winning most of their individual battles and in the ascendancy, but could not carve out any goalscoring opportunities in the first 25 minutes.

Mike Tullberg had nothing but words of praise for his U19 team after their 4-0 win away to Wuppertaler SV.
