The first chance of the game falls Sporting's way as Trincao's corner finds Luis Suarez at the back post, but the forward's effort is deflected behind.

After Chelsea did their now customary half-way line huddle before the match, PSG midfielder Vitinha decides to just kick it long out of play.

A strategy straight out of the rugby playbook is part of one of the world's most technically gifted and exciting teams.

Reece James gets free down the right wing and fires in a low, tasty cross into the middle. Joao Pedro is there but can only get his toes on the ball and it drifts well wide.

But encouraging for Chelsea how they got the chance. At the other end, Joao Neves strikes low from 30 yards out, but Filip Jorgensen watches it all the way and is able to dive forwards and gather.

Almost a chance for City.

Jeremy Doku wins possession and goes on a fine run to the edge of the Real Madrid box. It opens up for him but he delays his shot and then loses possession.

Desire Doue of PSG is a bit late on Moises Caicedo, who gets his toes trodden on and is very keen to tell everyone that. But he's OK, with nothing other than a free-kick.

Sporting are knocking the ball around nicely early on, trying to get a feel of the pitch and the conditions.

Tonight's game is, of course, being played on an artificial pitch.

Real Madrid start on the front foot and Trent Alexander-Arnold is heavily involved as Manchester City are forced to spent the opening couple of minutes camped inside their own half.

A real opportunity here for Manchester City. Real Madrid are not in a good place and have big names missing - Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham for example.

They have struggled in the league so this is a huge opportunity for City to exploit their weaknesses.

PSG start off and in a move more likely to be seen at Twickenham, they launch the ball directly out, as close to the corner flag as possible. Not really sure what the thinking is, but it certainly didn't work with Chelsea easily keeping the ball from the restart.

Manchester City play Real Madrid for the 16th time in the Champions League - twice as often as they have faced any other team in the competition. In those 15 times, they've won 5, lost 5 and drawn 5 games.

This is a tie fit for the final.

Both these teams will have been hoping to meet in the showpiece in Budapest on 30 May.

But only one will make it through to the quarter-finals.

Will it be Real Madrid or Manchester City?

Real Madrid's ground looks like a spaceship from the outside.

Strap yourselves in, we're almost ready for lift off.

Pardon the pun, but things are really heating up ahead of kick‑off in Norway. A firework display is underway as the players wait at the mouth of the tunnel.

Let’s just hope they’ve saved some fireworks for the 90 minutes.

Real Madrid boss Alvaro Arbeloa on whether his side are favourites to progress: "We must never feel inferior to anyone. We know how good Manchester City are, their coach, their players, but we'll look them straight in the eyes.

"Playing a Champions League knockout tie motivates me and, as a coach, facing the best in the world is very motivating. It will be a great experience."

It's just 91 days since Manchester City came from behind to beat Real Madrid at the Bernabeu in the league phase.

On 10 December, Rodrygo gave the home side the lead before goals by Nico O'Reilly and Erling Haaland stunned home fans and earned City a memorable 2-1 win in Spain's capital.

Xabi Alonso was Real's boss at the time but lasted just another month before he was replaced by his former Liverpool team-mate Alvaro Arbeloa.

It's a big call by Alvaro Arbeloa to start Thiago Pitarch this evening. Arbeloa promoted him from the youth B team to the youth A team in January and he made his official first team debut on February 17 in the first leg against Benfica in the Champions League.

A tasteful light show, combined with the more organic noise generated by two duelling sets of ultras behind each goal, makes Paris St‑Germain’s stadium a uniquely atmospheric place.

There are visual elements too with large flags and two mosaics behind both goals.
