Hello and welcome to LIVE coverage of Real Madrid v Manchester City in the last 16 of the Champions League. This is a monstrous game, and was the tie of the round even before City were chucked out of the competition for the next two seasons. This could be their last chance to win the tournament until May 2023, by which time Sergio Aguero will be 34, Kevin de Bruyne will be 31, and Fernandinho will still be doing a job at centre-back at the age of 38. That will depend on the result of their appeal to Cas. For now, all eyes are on the Bernabeu, with the return match at the Etihad on 17 March. Kick off is at 9pm in Madrid, 8pm in Manchester.

Real Madrid 1-2 Manchester City A great night for City, who came from behind to earn a deserved victory through goals from Gabriel Jesus and Kevin De Bruyne. A late red card for Sergio Ramos completed a miserable last 15 minutes for Madrid, who need a minor miracle in Manchester next month.
Mendy misses a half-chance for Madrid, bobbling a deep cross wide after getting the wrong side of the sleeping Mahrez.
Sterling shoots straight at Courtois after an excellent run across the edge of the area.
Three minutes of added time.
Sheesh, what a night for City. They were so close to going 2-0 down, when Fernandinho made two brilliant interceptions in the space of 30 seconds. Now they are cruising into the quarter-finals.
Mahrez clips the free-kick under the wall and the alert Courtois saves comfortably.
RAMOS IS SENT OFF! He was the last man and took down Gabriel Jesus on the edge of the area. Once the referee gave a foul - I thought Jesus dived at first - it had to be a red card.

A double change for Madrid: Jovic and Lucas Vazquez replace Modric and Isco.

GOAL! Real Madrid 1-2 Man City (De Bruyne pen) The captain De Bruyne slides a cool penalty into the bottom-left corner. City have scored twice in five minutes to take the lead!
Penalty
K. De Bruyne
PENALTY TO CITY! Carvajal has been penalised for a foul on Sterling, and City have the chance to take the lead. It was a stupid tackle from Carvajal.
City deserve a draw. They have been excellent for large parts of this game.
Another chance for City! Jesus misses another excellent chance, heading Mahrez's cross over the bar from six yards!
The goal stands!
GOAL! Real Madrid 1-1 Man City (Jesus 78) And Jesus has scored! It was made by De Bruyne, who produced a superb cross on the turn from the left of the box. Jesus eased Ramos aside on the six-yard line and headed down into the ground, with the ball bouncing past the right hand of the diving Courtois. He might have done better because there was no pace on the header. VAR are checking for a push on Ramos.
