City will take the decisive advantage in the Champions League quarter-final at the Allianz Arena next week after a brilliant attacking display helped them to a 3-0 win over Bayern Munich on an unbelievable night at the Etihad.
Rodrigo scored the opener in the 27th minute in front of 52,257 waiting spectators at the Etihad - and it was an effort.
Receiving the ball from Bernardo Silva's precise cross from the right, Rodrigo spun past Jamal Musiala and hit a left-footed shot past the helpless Yann Sommer into the Bayern goal.
Bernardo doubled the lead with a dangerous header in the 69th minute after Erling Haaland's cross from the left.
Haaland scored three goals with a right-footed shot in the 76th minute, his 45th goal of the season, making him the all-time top scorer in all competitions for a Premier League club. This victory ensures that we are now unbeaten in our last 25 Champions League home games, the longest an English team has ever played in the competition's history.
WHAT HAPPENED?
City look forward to that draw with Bayern as they try to take the lead in the quarter-final first leg for the third consecutive season.
The game started under pouring rain at the Etihad but the hosts warmed up the crowd with an overwhelming display in the first half.
Our first chance went to Erling Haaland in the 5th minute, who shot over the bar from inside the box after Kevin De Bruyne's precise cross.
Captain Ilkay Gundogan scored two minutes later when he headed too high after a fine combination of Bernardo Silva and De Bruyne calling back to the right, with the Belgium captain delivering a cross but finally got elbowed. Bayern goalkeeper Yann Sommer had a lucky escape in the 14th minute when he broke the ball over the line under Haaland's fiercest pressure.
Haaland was again looking for 22 minutes in a great move.
Gundogan played cleverly for Jack Grealish to pass the ball to the hungry Haaland, who failed to catch his shot as he shot straight at Sommer.
City had to defend firmly after 26 minutes when Ruben Dias, an impressive presence in recent weeks, brilliantly saved Jamal Musiala's shot on goal.
Rodrigo sent the whole Etihad Stadium into ecstasy after that with a left-footed finish from 25 yards that left Sommer with no chance. At this point, the home fans jumped and captain Gundogan almost made noise as he prepared to double our lead. Sommer saved with his foot from the German's shot straight into the box in the 34th minute.
Former Man City player Leroy Sane closed in with a fiery burst in first-half stoppage time, but City took the lead.
Bayern entered the second half with more vigor and energy as they sought to equalize.
Sane darted forward in the 49th minute and looked towards goal, but Ederson, relatively calm in the beginning, made a brilliant save to deny the striker. It was a real mess inside Bayern's box after 50 minutes when Grealish made a pass back, the ball finally found its way to Haaland, who was fiercely saved.
Ederson had to get back to his best athletic form after 54 minutes when he darted to the right to stop a dangerous left-footed dribble from Sane.
Nathan Ake successfully saved Sommer in the 57th minute when he hit a low shot into goal after a daring move forward on the left flank while moments later the Bayern keeper made another excellent shot in the first leg.
