There's the final whistle, and it's honours even in Manchester. The visiting fans are delighted - City look crestfallen but they came up against a top side tonight.
90+3'
Johnson with the corner... headed clear, but City win it back. Into the box, and De Sanctis makes a comfortable claim.

Tevez goes it alone surrounded by five defenders... his shot is blocked and it's a corner.

Three minutes of added time will be played.

Kompany slips and nearly lets Pandev in... he takes it round Hart but knocks the ball too far and it runs out for a goal kick.

Tevez leaves a knee in on Aronica, who catches it in the guts. Ouch.
86'
Aguero lets fly from 25 yards - well over.
85'
Oh, it turns out there was a Poznan after the equaliser. I love the increasingly number of bloody-minded people refusing to join in.

Toure hits a wayward 25-yard shot, and Pandev replaces Cavani for Napoli.
83'
Barry fouls Cavani, and for some reason Ray Wilkins swears blind it's a fair challenge. It's not. Goran Pandev is ready to come on.
82'
Silva curls a high free-kick to the back post... it is headed out for a City throw. The home team turning the screw.

Real chance for Dzeko!! A bobbly Johnson cross somehow works its way to the Bosnian's feet, he swivels but misses the target with his left-foot shot!
77'
Dzemaili appears to be clearly fouled, but referee Eriksson says play on!

Well, how that has lifted the mood! No Poznans yet, but an absolute racket. Can City conjure a winner?
