But the Blues responded in style inside 60 seconds when Aoba Fujino burst into space and fired into the bottom corner from distance.

Both sides had chances to take the lead as the game approached the final ten minutes, with Kerolin in particular going close to putting City in front.

But it was Bayern who would come out on top, with Julia Zigiotti Olme putting them back in front with a stunning long-range effort after City had lost possession from a throw-in.
