• Midfielder's first Champions League goal
• Gives Man City early advantage

WHAT HAPPENED: Rodri lit up Europe's top competition on Tuesday with an eye-catching strike to give Manchester City the early advantage in their quarter-final tie with Bayern Munich. The Spain international let fly from range and beat Yann Sommer in the Bayern goal just before the half-hour mark.

WHAT NEXT? Bayern and Manchester City meet again next Wednesday at the Allianz Arena for the second leg. The winners will go through to face either Real Madrid or Chelsea in the semi-finals.
