    12'
    Zagadou sticks Hazard away down the right - Sancho is on the left for now - but Kimpembe races across to unload him.
    10'
    Sarabia breaks from deep inside his own half, so Witsel trips him, doing well to avoid a booking.
    9'
    Neymar is up and looks fine.
    8'
    Hummels slides in to rob Neymar, who catapults himself forward while falling. If he's injured, he's injured himself, and he might be; he stays down with a hurt shoulder.
    7'
    Dortmund haven't yet settled, and Neymar, who's been handed a free role, runs at Hummels ... who reads him, stepping in with a fine challenge.
    7'
    Bernat burrows infield and stabs a clever reverse-ball into the box for Sarabia, who whacks a cross beyond the far post.
    5'
    It's very quiet, both inside the ground.
    3'
    Paredes leaves one on Can, basically arsing him in the knee. No harm done, and we're quickly back underway.
    2'
    Martin Keown is co-commentating; does someone at BT think "closed doors" means no TV audience?
    1'
    First of many: Can chops down Neymar, as fireworks go off outside. It's like Disneyland, no joke.
    1'
    Yes, we can hear the shouts of the players. Someone should have employed translators to record the patter.

    Apologies for the technical gremlins and accordant gap in coverage. Off we go!

    Dortmund, on the other hand, look absolutely nails going forward. Sancho and Haaland is a combination that can only introduce frisson to strides, while Hakimi is also extremely exciting. Dortmund were much the better team in the first leg, and I'd expect them to do enough tonight.

    I'll tell you what, for a team that's had a billion pounds or spent on it, that PSG side is extremely whatever. Mbappe is only well enough for the bench, and without him, it's a lot of maybe. Di Maria is still a class act, but he's much better in midfield, not on the wing; Neymar is brilliant when it's going for him, but you're unlikely to get that in a 4-4-2; and Gueye and Paredes is a functional midfield pairing, but that's about it.

    Right, let's have some teams...

    I get and love this with every fibre of my being. Except seriously lads, go inside and stay there you absolute twonks.
    19:10
    This is a fine point, made by a player who cares and understands. Except...
    19:07
    It's just so hard to even talk about football given what's going on, except of course it's not remotely hard to talk about football, so let's just try that and hope things get better.
    19:03
    Every single one of us should be absolutely buzzing for this, except what is it all about? A question I ask myself a lot, granted, but with extra vehemence tonight. Does anyone think we're going to see the next round, never mind the semi and final? It's hard to have a scooby and, at the very best, it looks like someone will have to make a choice between the remainder of the club season and the Euros. I do not know.
