Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Manchester City’s Champions League quarter-final second-leg clash at Borussia Dortmund. The tie is finely poised at 2-1 to the Premier League side. This is the one everyone wants at City. Three successive quarter-final defeats in the Champions League is not what Pep Guardiola had in mind. Time to finish the job tonight and reach the last four. Dortmund, however, and one star hitman in particular, will be no pushovers.

Decent start from City, far more relaxed than last week. Passing the ball around confidently, they know what they've got to do tonight

Mahmoud Dahoud has a got from distance, but that is straight at Ederson.

Dortmund getting on the ball more now. Bellingham very much at the heart of everything.

Bellingham has had a lively start. He wins the ball in behind Ruben Dias for Marco Reus who gets into the area. Dias gets back to half clear but the flag does eventually go up.

City with the early possession here, as they look to settle.

KICK OFF! We are under way at Signal Iduna Park. This is going to be fun.

So here we go. This time is far from over. In Champions League history, the side winning the first leg of a knockout stage tie 2-1 at home has been eliminated (15) more often than they’ve progressed (12).

Ahead of kick off, catch up with all the latest transfer talk from across Europe, as Cristiano Ronaldo is again linked with a return to Manchester.

So what of the main man. Erling Haaland has only failed to score in three of his 15 appearances in the Champions League, and has found the net in all four of his appearances at home (7 goals in total). However, City haven’t conceded in any of their last four Champions League away games – the last team to keep a clean sheet in five straight away games in the competition was Manchester United (6 in 2010-11).

He takes it all in his stride.

The big playes step up when it really matters. City’s Kevin De Bruyne has been involved in 13 goals in his last 12 appearances in the Champions League (4 goals, 9 assists), with the Belgian having a hand in six goals in just four games this season (2 goals, 4 assists).

Dortmund fans tried their best to give their team an edge. Guardiola was not disturbed, however.

So what chance to City have tonight? On the seven previous occasions Dortmund have lost the first leg of a Champions League knockout stage match, they’ve been eliminated six times. The exception was against Benfica in 2016-17 at the last 16 stage (0-1 first leg, 4-0 second leg). In major European competition, Man City have progressed from 13 of their 15 knockout stage ties when winning the first leg, falling against Juventus in the 1976-77 UEFA Cup and against Monaco in the 2016-17 Champions League.

One man's name is on everyone's lips.

Pep looks ahead to tonight's match.

HEAD TO HEAD: Dortmund’s only previous home meeting with Manchester City ended in a 1-0 victory for the German side, in the Champions League group stages in December 2012. Dortmund have lost their last two home games against English sides in th Champions League (vs Spurs in both 2017-18 and 2018-19), having lost just one of their first seven such matches (W4 D2).
