Full-time: Paris Saint-Germain exact some revenge on Manchester City for last season's semi-final with a 2-0 triumph on a night Lionel Messi scored his first-ever goal for the French giants.
90'+3
City win another free-kick and again Mahrez will take it. This time he fails to hit the target. A disappointing effort that sums up a frustrating night for the visitors.

FOUR minutes of added-time will be played at Parc des Princes! Too late now for City, surely? Mahrez lifts his free-kick over the wall but it's a relatively straightforward save for Donnarumma, who has been excellent.

City are still pushing for a consolation as they win a free-kick, Gueye commiting the foul on Mahrez. That will be Gueye's last contribution as he leaves to a standing ovation to be replaced by Danilo.

PSG'S MNM are really starting to turn it on as Neymar and Mbappe combine but the latter's cross is too close to Ederson.

A special word of praise for Verratti, by the way, who had missed out on a month's action through injury but was excellent tonight.

Save! Donnarumma, it seems, won't be beaten tonight as he keeps out Mahrez's shot with a strong hand.

GOAL! Paris Saint-Germain 2-0 Manchester City (Lionel Messi): The place erupts as Messi scores his first-ever goal for the French giants! It's a trademark goal from the 34-year-old. He glides through the middle, rolls it to Mbappe, runs on to the return pass and curls the ball into the top corner. A thing of beauty!

Foden is immediately involved, he races down the left but can't quite pick out a team mate. The 21-year-old has 20 minutes to make something happen for City.

City sub: Guardiola puts Grealish out of his misery as he replaces him with Foden. It has been a night to forget for the 25-year-old.

Grealish is clearly in an offside position but the flag doesn't go up. He's swarmed by PSG bodies and inevitably the City playmaker loses the ball. And that's going to be his last contribution...

Neymar... no! PSG break from City's corner, Hakimi threading it through for Neymar to set up a fascinating foot race between the Brazilian and Walker. The latter matches him stride for stride, applying just enough pressure on the former who can only shoot into the side-netting.
64'
Sterling is quickly closed down as he receives the ball on the left and the England international can only force the corner.
