Rodri, Bernardo Silva and Erling Haaland took turns scoring to bring an important victory to the home team at Etihad Stadium.
The 3-goal victory gave Pep Guardiola's team a huge advantage over the Gray Tigers in the battle for a ticket to the semi-finals of this prestigious tournament.
However, Man City cannot afford to be complacent as they still have at least 90 challenging minutes at Allianz on April 23.
In the first leg at Etihad Stadium, Man City entered the match confidently to create an exciting match worth waiting for with Bayern Munich.
Man City was the better team, but in the first 45 minutes, fans only had one chance to celebrate a goal.
In the 27th minute, Rodri handled the ball delicately, dribbling past Musiala and then executed a perfect left-footed shot into the top corner, opening the score 1-0 for Man City.
In the second half, Bayern Munich rose strongly and it seemed they could bring the match back to balance with dangerous moves in front of Ederson's goal.
However, instead of scoring, the away team conceded another goal after a regrettable foul by center-back Dayot Upamecano.
In the 70th minute, Upamecano played carelessly, allowing Grealish to steal the ball and pass it to Haaland. The Norwegian striker then chipped the ball to the right wing for Bernardo Silva to head the ball past Sommer, raising the score to 2-0.
Six minutes later, Erling Haaland put an end to the first leg of the quarter-final with a goal to make it 3-0 after a favorable assist from John Stones.
With a 3-0 win, Manchester City are confident of reaching the semi-finals. Bayern, on the other hand, need to make changes and will certainly need a miracle to turn the tables.
