Bayern were clearly stung by last week’s loss at the Etihad and were determined to go down fighting. They began with belief and, feeding off the energy of a boisterous atmosphere, took the game to City.
Kingsley Coman twice got clear down the right in the opening minutes but his final ball was lacking before the visitors survived a bigger scare when former City winger Leroy Sane raced through on goal but shot wide.
There was drama at the other end when Dayot Upamecano was shown a red card for tripping Haaland as he broke clear, but the decision was overturned after a flag was raised.
The Bayern defender then gave away a penalty when he handled an Ilkay Gundogan shot in the box, but Haaland blasted over after the hosts did their best to delay the spot-kick.
That miss gave Bayern renewed hope and they finished the first half strongly with Coman firing at Ederson and Sane, who earlier had a free-kick saved, shooting wide from distance. Cancelo and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting were also denied from close range.
Haaland had another opportunity after the break as Bayern, in chasing the tie, began to get stretched but he shot straight at Yann Sommer.
The German side went close again as a Coman effort squirmed through Ederson’s grasp and rolled across goal but City cleared and Haaland made no mistake at the third time of asking.
Again the Bayern defence was caught out as Kevin De Bruyne led a charge. The Belgian calmly slipped in Haaland and, after skipping around a challenge, the 22-year-old finished emphatically to become the youngest player to score 35 Champions League goals.
That put the tie beyond doubt but Bayern were not quite done. Mathys Tel had a goal chalked off for offside before Kimmich struck from the spot seven minutes from time after Manuel Akanji was harshly penalised for handball.
Bayern boss Thomas Tuchel had to watch the closing minutes from the stands after being shown a red card for letting his frustrations get the better of him.
Meanwhile, Pep Guardiola’s only concern from an otherwise satisfying night will be the severity of a suspected hamstring injury to defender Nathan Ake, who had to be withdrawn in the second half.
“I’ve had it before and it feels a little bit less to be honest, but you never know with these things, so we will do the ultrasounds and stuff on Thursday and then hopefully it’s not too bad,” Ake told Sky Sports after the match.
