Back underway.

20:47

No added time. 

An exhibition from City against the reigning champions.

Block!

City are peppering the Madrid box and the ball falls for Akanji, whose low shot is blocked by Alaba.

Silva cuts in from the right but hits it straight at the keeper.

This is looking like a training exercise at the moment. Madrid need a miracle again.

Madrid look shell shocked. They do not get dominated like this very often. 

20:39

Silva again!

Madrid give it away and they're punished.

Grealish plays a ball for Gundogan to run on to in the box. He sees his shot blocked but Silva guides the rebound into the top corner with his head.

What a hit!

Madrid finally string some passes together and the ball is fed to Kroos in space 25 yards from goal.

He lines it up and smashes a fierce strike off the crossbar. Ederson may have even got a fingertip to it.

Madrid have come to life.

Close!

Rodrygo almost prods Benzema through on goal but Ederson beats him to it.

Couple of warning signs for City after 30 minutes of pure dominance.

Finally an opening for Madrid as Vinicius gets in behind on the left but Walker shows off that ridiculous pace to catch up and steal the ball.

Brilliant defending.

45 passes from the visitors. Says it all.

Militao throws himself to the ground after a tiny push from Haaland.

Embarrassing. 

No sign of a response from Madrid.

Hard to remember them stringing more than two passes together.

20:26

There's no stopping that one!

De Bruyne slides a ball through for Bernardo Silva on the right hand side of the area and he shapes to curl towards the far corner before beating the keeper at his near post.

Quality finish. Fully deserved.

What a save!

World class from Courtois.

It's Haaland with a header again and this time he does everything right after Akanji nods a cross back across goal.

The ball is headed for the far corner before Courtois sticks out a hand to tip it just wide.

Stunning.

De Bruyne steps over a free-kick from 30 yards but bends it wide.

20 minutes played.

It's wave after wave from City. Madrid haven't had a kick.

Huge save!

Haaland has to score.

Grealish cuts in from the left and clips a lovely cross into Haaland who sees his header parried by Courtois from a couple of yards out.

The crowd were already celebrating.

Stones now has a pop from range which flies well wide.

Madrid will be happy to let them have those.

De Bruyne with another dangerous ball in which Militao is first to. A good start from the defender.

Chance!

Haaland latches on to a through ball and takes it past the keeper but his touch is too heavy and he has to cut it back. There's no one there to meet it.

City then win the ball back and Rodri sees a low shot tipped wide.

Great start from the hosts.

A couple of heavy challenges from Vinicius and Camavinga on Silva but they were fair. The city fans don't approve.

De Bruyne does well to get a dangerous cross in from the right but Militao is first to it with Haaland lurking.

All City so far.

Walker with the first strike of the game from distance. Row Z.

City taking their time early on as they knock it around in their own half.

Madrid are happy to let them.

20:01

City get us underway.

What an atmosphere.

A sea of blue and white as Hey Jude rings out.

Here come the players.

19:38

It's almost time.

'There's no time to be nervous,' he told BT. 'Come on. Manchester is blue. This is an incredible opportunity. Who knows when we will have this opportunity again.

'People say next season, but next season the Premier League will be really tough and the Champions League also. So now we are here, we have to do everything we've done all season. And hope that the team who deserves to reach the final, reaches the final.'

the players are putting the finishing touches on their preparations wijust over 30 minutes to go until kick-off.

'As a player, you'll know who's in the final and they'll be thinking "if you give me them at the start of the tournament, I'd have bit your arm off".

'And I think that's what both of these teams will be thinking in the dressing room. This is the final guys. We win this, we win the Champions League. If you look too far ahead you're in trouble. You can't look too far forward and I don't think these guys will. They're too experienced.'

19:18

Speaking on BT Sport, he said: 'I actually don't know (what Ancelotti is thinking). I finished watching that game thinking "have we finally seen a defender who can deal with Haaland"?

'Sometimes you think to yourself, if he's got his number, you have to go with your instincts. Ancelotti's gone with someone he knows, who's tried and tested, and obviously they won it last year with Militao, he's been integral to everything that's been good about them in the last season or so. So he's gone back to what he knows.

'But I think it's a massive call. And if it goes wrong, that's something where the media in Spain will be honing in on. How can you drop someone who's done so well against their talisman?'

City win 1/2

Draw 10/3

Madrid win 9/2

18:55

They were given a hero's welcome as they made their way off the team coach and into the stadium.

More than an hour to go until kick-off but the Etihad is already filling up nicely.

Biggest game of the season for them.

18:45

"We are close to doing something important. We are full of hope, motivated. It is going to be tough tomorrow but sometimes we get the most out of ourselves in difficult situations," Ancelotti said.

"The plan is the same as ever, to try and get as much out of the players [as possible]. I think we can do better than we did in the first leg, but I think they do too.

"Today, I am calm and full of hope. Matchday is the day when the worries come in. You think things through, whether [Erling] Haaland is going to score, or [Kevin] De Bruyne is going to hurt you. It is about managing your head.

"The match is unpredictable. If you think you are the best team in the world, it doesn't mean you are 100% sure to win. It is not just about quality, it is about personality and mentality."

18:37

No changes from the first leg.

Man City XI: Ederson, Walker, Stones, Dias, Akanji, Rodrigo, Gundogan (C), De Bruyne, Bernardo, Grealish, Haaland

Subs: Ortega Moreno, Carson, Phillips, Laporte, Alvarez, Gomez, Mahrez, Foden, Palmer, Lewis

"I have been here many times," he said.

"My legacy is exceptional already. I have told the players to enjoy the moment - we are incredibly lucky to be here.

"It's in our hands, it depends on us, we don't have to do something exceptional - just win one game to reach the final.

"I have an incredible feeling about them. Whatever happens - thank you so much to them for bringing me and the City fans here again."

18:28

City will feel confident after securing a good result at the Bernabeu in a game where they certainly didn't have it all their own way.

Pep Guardiola's team started the game strongly but found themselves 1-0 down courtesy of a brilliant goal from Vinicius.

It was Madrid who looked the more likely to score again after the break but Kevin De Bruyne then drew his side level with a fierce strike.

18:17

As usual Madrid release their starting XI about an hour before they have to.

One change from the first leg as Militao replaces Rudiger, who was great in the first leg.

Starting XI: Courtois; Carvajal, Militão, Alaba, Camavinga; Kroos, Modrić, Valverde; Vinícius Júnior, Rodrygo, Benzema

18:10
