Manchester City is ready for the Champions League clash against FC Bayern.

Erling Haaland scored sensationally in the clear city victory.

Munich – While Matthijs de Ligt had to score a sensational goal to win Bayern Munich at SC Freiburg, Manchester City celebrated an unchallenged 4-1 (1-0) win before the giant duel in the Champions League on Tuesday at Southampton FC.

However, the team of ex-Bayern coach Pep Guardiola struggled against the bottom of the Premier League in the first half.

But once again it was Erling Haaland who put City on the road to victory with the half-time whistle.

The Norwegian scored the lead with a header (45') after missing two games due to a groin injury.

Manchester City ready for Bayern: Haaland scores twice in the dress rehearsal

In the second round, it was Jack Grealish who, after great preparatory work by Kevin De Bruyne, increased the lead to 2-0 for the Skyblues before Haaland again made it 3-0 (68th) for the preliminary decision.

This time, the super striker scored sensationally with a side kick after Grealish served the ex-Dortmunder.

Joker Sekou Mara made the cut for the Saints (72'), but Julian Alvarez restored the old lead in the 75th minute - De Bruyne had been fouled before - and made it 4-1.

For Haaland, the two goals were goals 29 and 30 in his 27th Premier League game.

Man City are still second in the table, five points behind Arsenal.

Haaland shoots and scores sensationally: But Tuchel is already looking forward to a "fight" against ManCity

Do Thomas Tuchel and Bayern have to be afraid now?

Of course, the Bayern coach responded immediately to journalists' questions about the upcoming game on Saturday evening.

"Anything can happen on Tuesday if we believe in it and if we're ready to stretch ourselves to the limit," he said at the press conference after the win over SC Freiburg: "I think we are."

And further: "It will be one of the biggest tests of the moment," said the FCB coach after his team's game in Breisgau, where there was a lot of excitement about Joshua Kimmich: "We know about the quality and they've been in top form recently in the League".

Despite the strong performances from City, the people of Munich don't want to hide on Tuesday (9 p.m.).

“We have to be very smart and brave.

In addition, a few tactical solutions that we can use to gain security," revealed Tuchel: "Then the visor goes up - and then there's a fight!"

FC Bayern at Manchester City: "There is no more tactics"

The fact that Bayern initially have to play away is not an advantage for the reigning German champions.

"The away goal rule no longer exists, so for me it makes almost no sense - some may see it differently - to divide it into the first and second leg," said the 49-year-old on Saturday evening: "There is no more tactics, no 'first away, wait and see'.

We've never done that before."

After the first leg on Tuesday at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester, FC Bayern welcome the Guardiola team to their home Allianz Arena on April 19.
