Pep Guardiola said he was confident his Manchester City side can go all the way in the Champions League after overcoming Bayern Munich to set up a semi-final showdown against holders Real Madrid.

City reached the last four for a third successive year as they weathered a storm to claim a 1-1 draw in the second leg of their quarter-final against Bayern Munich on Wednesday and progress 4-1 on aggregate.

Erling Haaland put the result beyond doubt when, having earlier missed a penalty, he struck in the 57th minute at the Allianz Arena before Joshua Kimmich claimed a late reply for the Germans from the spot.

It set up a semi-final showdown against the competition's most decorated club and a repeat of last year's semi-final when City were beaten by Real in dramatic circumstances at the Bernabeu.

"The semi-final again ... the experience that we have in the competition, the players feel it a lot, they want to do really well," Guardiola told BT Sport.

Midfielder Bernardo Silva spoke confidently of claiming revenge over Real Madrid for last season's heartache, saying City will "go for it".

“We always go for it but we feel the team is very, very confident at the minute. I think we are going through,” Silva told BT Sport.

City did most of the damage in their quarter-final with their 3-0 win in the first leg but Bayern started with the belief they could turn the tie around.

They spurned numerous chances in the first half before Haaland’s strike eventually killed off their hopes.

Guardiola added: “We struggled in the first half and 4-1 doesn’t show the two games. Fortunately, they missed their chances.

“We defended well and in the second half we were much better. The only regret is we didn’t have more sequences of passes. You have to have more passes against a team of that quality.

“But apart from that, congratulations to all at Manchester City and thank you to all our fans who came to Munich.”

BAYERN MUNICH RATINGS: Yann Sommer – 6. Did nothing wrong with what he had to deal with – and it wasn’t too much – but had no chance when Erling Haaland was breathing down his neck for City’s goal. Would have been pleased to see the Norwegian’s penalty fly over the bar, though. AFP

Joao Cancelo – 6. A strange night for the Portuguese, who was allowed to play against his parent club, and he enjoyed a relatively comfortable evening against his Manchester City teammates.

Matthijs de Ligt – 6. Kept Manchester City and Erling Haaland quiet in the first half and stepped out of the backline to help transition the ball well. The Dutchman stood up to everything else City tried, but in truth, it wasn’t much after the tie was settled. AFP

Haaland’s goal was his 48th of an extraordinary season.

Guardiola said: “Erling is a threat. We know that. He showed personality for the penalty. He missed it but it doesn’t matter.

“He is having a good season and finishing really good.”

Bayern boss Thomas Tuchel was sent off late in the game after letting his frustrations get the better of him and he later rated referee Clement Turpin as “grade E”.

However, he was more positive about his own players, saying there was "no difference in class" against City.

"It looks like that from the results, but it's actually a difference in self-confidence and in form," Tuchel said.

"For the little we allowed [City] to do, we were brutally punished.

"We played against the best team in Europe today, the most in-form team in Europe. We played completely on the same level, [but] in either game we didn't have even a tiny bit of luck."

Real estate tokenisation project

Dubai launched the pilot phase of its real estate tokenisation project last month.

The initiative focuses on converting real estate assets into digital tokens recorded on blockchain technology and helps in streamlining the process of buying, selling and investing, the Dubai Land Department said.

Dubai’s real estate tokenisation market is projected to reach Dh60 billion ($16.33 billion) by 2033, representing 7 per cent of the emirate’s total property transactions, according to the DLD.

Sinopharm vaccine explained

The Sinopharm vaccine was created using techniques that have been around for decades. 

“This is an inactivated vaccine. Simply what it means is that the virus is taken, cultured and inactivated," said Dr Nawal Al Kaabi, chair of the UAE's National Covid-19 Clinical Management Committee.

"What is left is a skeleton of the virus so it looks like a virus, but it is not live."

This is then injected into the body.

"The body will recognise it and form antibodies but because it is inactive, we will need more than one dose. The body will not develop immunity with one dose," she said.

"You have to be exposed more than one time to what we call the antigen."

The vaccine should offer protection for at least months, but no one knows how long beyond that.

Dr Al Kaabi said early vaccine volunteers in China were given shots last spring and still have antibodies today.

“Since it is inactivated, it will not last forever," she said.

Quick pearls of wisdom

Focus on gratitude: And do so deeply, he says. “Think of one to three things a day that you’re grateful for. It needs to be specific, too, don’t just say ‘air.’ Really think about it. If you’re grateful for, say, what your parents have done for you, that will motivate you to do more for the world.”

Know how to fight: Shetty married his wife, Radhi, three years ago (he met her in a meditation class before he went off and became a monk). He says they’ve had to learn to respect each other’s “fighting styles” – he’s a talk it-out-immediately person, while she needs space to think. “When you’re having an argument, remember, it’s not you against each other. It’s both of you against the problem. When you win, they lose. If you’re on a team you have to win together.”
