Hello and welcome to our LIVE text commentary of Manchester City's crucial Champions League quarter-final second leg with Paris Saint-Germain from the Etihad. It's advantage City after last week's 2-2 draw in Paris, but don't rule out the Parisiens just yet. They've already tasted success this side of the channel this season - a 2-1 win at Chelsea in the last round - and with City's rearguard more than vulnerable, this could go either way. I'm Pete Hall (@PeteHall86), and I will be bringing you the action, as it happens, live!

PENALTY TO MAN CITY! Trapp brings down Aguero. Yellow card for PSG 'keeper.
27'
Brilliant from Van der Wiel to turn Bacary Sagna inside out, but his cross is woeful on his left foot.
26'
Better from City. They are looking the most potent in attack. Silva is delightfully played in, gets to the byline, but his cross is blocked.

Blanc tinkering...

WHAT A HIT AGAIN! Aguero's turn to have an blockbuster at goal, but it just doesn't have enough dip on the effort and the ball flies over, with Kevin Trapp beaten.

CHANCE! Much better from City. Slick interchange from De Bruyne and Silva releases Aguero, but the angle is always against the City hitman, and he cannot hit the target.
22'
French champions still dominate possession. City chasing shadows. Still, no threat from the visitors. City can't let this continue, however.
20'
Boos rings around the Etihad as Aguero wants a free-kick from Thiago Silva on the edge of the PSG box, but the referee is not interested. It looks like the right decision too.
19'
City so wasteful at the moment. They cannot put more than three passes together. Aguero crowded out every time.

Meanwhile, two in two minutes for Cristiano Ronaldo has levelled Real Madrid's last eight tie. There is no holding him back...

WHAT A HIT! Ibrahimovic smashes a free-kick at goal, it is swerving en route to goal, but Joe Hart watches it all the way and tips the ball over. Some power from the Swede!
16'
Absolutely nothing for Aguero to feed off here. Aurier is in quickly to win possession back.

15'
Almost 70 per cent possession for the visitors in the opening 15 minutes. City cannot allow them to control this.
13'
David Silva gets free in the inside left channel, but his cut-back fails to pick out Aguero on the return, before Serge Aurier does well to out-muscle De Bruyne and win the goal kick.
12'
Quite a moderate tempo to the match. PSG stroking the ball around with ease at the moment, without causing any real danger.
11'
Ibrahimovic dropping deep to try and influence the play. As soon as he gets the ball, Fernando is in quickly on the Swede.
9'
Stadium still not full. Incredible when you consider the occasion. Cagey opening here.
8'
Almost for the Parisiens. That's the danger. Edinson Cavani is close to getting behind the City defence as Angel di Maria over-hits the through ball after neat work from Ibrahimovic and Thiago Motta.
6'
Visitors enjoying their first spell of possession, but they are being pressed well by City. Zlatan Ibrahimovic hasn't touched the ball yet.

Manchester is buzzing...

Big night here, and the tension is palpable. Both teams giving the ball away too easily early on.
