Man City aims to finish off Bayern in Champions League

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:20:50 GMT

DUESSELDORF, Germany (AP) — Manchester City and Bayern Munich’s seasons are each defined by one signing — for better or worse.As City prepares to finish off Bayern in the Champions League quarterfinals on Wednesday after beating the German champions 3-0 in the first leg, Erling Haaland has redefined the role of a modern striker.Haaland has scored 47 goals in 40 games in all competitions, and has a possible 13 more games to play this season. The Norwegian scored against Bayern in the first leg after demolishing another German team, Leipzig, with five goals in the previous round.Then there’s Sadio Mané. The Senegal forward was supposed to reshape Bayern’s attack into a fluid, flexible threat less reliant on a traditional striker when he joined from Liverpool last year as Robert Lewandowski left.However, Mané has contributed little on the field in recent months and upset squad stability. He has been a bit-part player ever since a leg injury ruled him out of the World Cup, and was...

MILAN (AP) — Winning the Champions League may be Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi’s only chance to keep his job.Inter has had success this season, winning the Italian Super Cup and reaching the semifinals of the Italian Cup. And the team can reach the last four of the Champions League on Wednesday when it faces Benfica at San Siro in the second leg of the quarterfinals with a 2-0 lead from the first match.But it’s in Serie A where Inter has been struggling, and Inzaghi is feeling the pressure because of it.Saturday’s 1-0 loss to Monza was Inter’s 11th league defeat in 30 matches and left the team in fifth place in Serie A, two points behind fourth-place AC Milan.Former Inter president Massimo Moratti — who was at the helm when Inter won the treble of the Champions League, Serie A and the Italian Cup in 2010 — said he probably wouldn’t have stayed with Inzaghi as coach through this season’s losses.“No, I don’t believe I would have kept him, because of my character I...
