    WHAT A GOAL! Man City (8) 7-0 (1) Leipzig (De Bruyne) Mahrez, who's been good since coming on, darts down the right, slides across to De Bruyne on the edge of the box ... and Blaswich knows what's coming, a curler to the top corner, but can he stop it can he hell as like, and that is the goal De Bruye deserved and a hiding of gargantuan proportions.
    90'
    THERE'LL BE TWO ADDED MINUTES
    The ref, after diddling Leipzig first half, has been kind to them second.
    90'
    THE WAY THEY PLAYED IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE FIRST LEG
    Leipzig will have fancied themselves tonight.

    CITY SING FOR VINCENT KOMPANY
    Who of course returns to the Etihad on Saturday, managing Burnley, in the FA Cup last eight. The three big trophies remain on the table.

    RAUM IS UP
    And we're back away again.
    85'
    I CAN'T REMEMBER THE LAST TIME I MENTIONED GVARDIOL
    He'll have learnt a lesson tonight. Similar actually happened to Lisandro Martinez when City hammered Man United earlier in the season - he was much better in the return, and I'm sure Gvardiol won't get monstered like he has tonight again.
    84'
    OUCH
    Raum leaps for a high ball, and his own keeper smashes him. He's down receiving treatment.
    82'
    THE NEXT ROUND
    City v Napoli would be a tie. Or a final.

    ANOTHER CHANGE FOR LEIPZIG
    Klostermann for Haidara. That should sort it.

    LEIPZIG SEEK A CONSOLATION
    Silva moves infield from the right, sizes up a curler ... and sends it wide, though had it been on target, Ederson was there.

    PHILLIPS GIVES IT AWAY
    So Olmo advances, and Aknanji slides in late. He'll hope that doesn't come back to bite him later on in the competition.
    76'
    OH MATE; OH MAAAAATE!

    LIKE ALL GUARDIOLA TEAMS
    City are at risk against sides with serious attackers, because their defenders tend to be picked for their ability on the ball - but they're not as good as Barcelona were, so aren't as good at limiting risk. Still, though, their best is probably the best around, so if they're close to it, you'd back them to win any game.
    73'
    OH DEAR
    Hargreaves says he asked Olmo how Leipzig were going to attack City in transition; Olmo said they were a possession side, so would be on the ball. Whoops.

    CHANGE FOR LEIPZIG
    Olmo, continuing his way back from injury, is on for Szboszlai.

    DE BRUYNE OOZES A LUSH PASS INTO SPACE FOR FODEN
    And he's in behind, but his cross is deflected, the ball looping back to Blaswich.
    70'
    CITY KNOCK IT ABOUT
    I guess, with that last raft of changes, they sort of declared - though I'm sure the players who've come off the bench fancy a piece of the action.
