Clement Turpin to referee Bayern Munich vs Manchester City in Champions League quarter-final second-leg

Clément Turpin will take charge of the UEFA Champions League quarter-final second-leg between Bayern Munich and Manchester City on Wednesday.

The Blues will take a three goal advantage to Bavaria in midweek after an impressive 3-0 win against Bayern Munich in last Tuesday’s first-leg at the Etihad Stadium.

Rodri opened the scoring with a sensational strike before goals from Bernardo Silva and Erling Haaland moved City into a commanding position in the tie.

Pep Guardiola’s side are hoping to reach a third successive Champions League semi-final with the potential to meet Real Madrid in the final four for a second straight season.

The current holders take a 2-0 lead to Stamford Bridge on Tuesday after victory at the Santiago Bernabéu last week.

Bayern Munich have won just one of their last three games after drawing 1-1 at the weekend, while City extended their winning run to 10 matches with a 3-1 win over Leicester City to close the gap to Premier League leaders Arsenal.

The Gunners are the Blues’ next Premier League opponent, but City will be hoping to have reached a Champions League semi-final and FA Cup Final before the top of the table clash.

Ahead of Wednesday’s quarter-final second-leg, UEFA have announced the match officials for the tie.
