Guardiola’s team last came face-to-face with Tuchel’s Bayern Munich on 19 April 2023 as we travelled to Germany for the second leg of our quarter-final match-up against the Bundesliga champions in the Champions League.

Erling Haaland gave us the lead in the 57^th minute, extending our aggregate to 4-0 after a thrilling first leg at the Etihad Stadium.

Joshua Kimmich converted Bayern’s penalty kick in the 83^rd minute to level the score but it was Guardiola’s team that progressed to the semi-finals after a 4-1 win on aggregate. We all know what happened in the rest of the Champions League tournament.
