FC Bayern Munich is threatened with quarter-final exit in the Champions League after a clear first-leg defeat at Manchester City. The German football record champion lost with the new coach Thomas Tuchel on Tuesday evening clearly with 0:3 (0:1) and is in the return match on 19 April in the home stadium under strong pressure. International media write:

Great Britain:

"The Sun": "Thomas Tuchel will feel that his opposite number (Pep Guardiola) has trumped him tonight, as his team travels to Munich with their tails pulled in. In the first half, the team looked confident until Rodri gave the hosts the lead with his miracle goal."

"Daily Mail": "Bayern kept up well for a long time, but in the end they struggled desperately for their dignity as City dominated mercilessly in the quarter-finals of the Champions League with a 3-0 victory."

The Guardian: "Could this finally be the year for Manchester City and Pep Guardiola? The evidence is piling up, the latest example of a team coming into shape at just the right time unfolds before the shocked German eyes. And before those of the rest of Europe."

Spain:

"Marca": "Tuchel's new Bayern started at the Etihad without Joao Cancelo, Müller and Mané and still managed to defend themselves against an English side who had to thank a great Ederson.

"El País": "In view of what was seen in England, the second leg in Munich next week gives little hope for compensation for Bayern."

Italy:

"Corriere dello Sport": "Nothing can be taken for granted given the level of the opponent coached by Tuchel, but it is certain that City goes into the second leg in Bayern with a not inconsiderable advantage."

"Gazzetta dello Sport": "Manchester City, football lesson: 3-0 against Bayern and semi-finals in the bag."

France:

"L'Équipe": "The two scorers Erling Haaland and Bernardo Silva were the image of a sovereign Manchester City in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals against Bayern Munich."

Austria:

"Kurier": "Manchester City punishes Bayern ice-cold. The Munich team played well visually in England, but made too many mistakes."

Switzerland:

"Blick": "Blue waddle for the Bavarians (...) One of the players in the spotlight: Yann Sommer. In the positive as well as in the negative."
