Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has seen it all and done it all in the Champions League, winning the tournament five times as a coach.

And it certainly shows. As he stepped off the Real team coach he walked alone towards the dressing room whistling to himself.

Pressure? What pressure?

For whoever comes through his tie ultimately then they will go into the last-16, where they will face either Atletico Madrid or Bayer Leverkusen, two of the seeded teams.

Nothing to separate the two sides at the break.

We are approaching half-time and Sporting are yet to have a shot on target.

It has been a disappointing performance so far in a match that they have to win.

Manchester City can go into this game feeling a lot more confident and have that belief but they have all of it do because to keep out this Real Madrid team with Mbappe, Vinicus Junior, Rodrygo and Bellingham... I can't see Manchester City keeping a clean sheet.

I think defensively this season they have had massive issues. I think the goalkeepers haven't played well, plus they've chopped and changed at the back. I think Manchester City have it all to do, but you just never know.

There has been one shot for each team so far; neither have been on target.

Need I say more?

History is on Real Madrid's side because they have prevailed in 20 of the last 21 Uefa competition two-legged ties in which they won the first leg.

As difficult as this season has been, the team is full of players who have been to the Bernabeu before and won the Champions League before.

There were little signs on Saturday against Newcastle that we're getting back to where they want to be, albeit Newcastle were pretty poor on the day. You can go there with no fear.

City know what they've got to do and that's the main thing. They have to go there and win. Sometimes that's not a bad thing.

Pep Guardiola strode into the Bernabeu Stadium's palatial surroundings knowing Manchester City must overturn the odds - and logic - in a special place that usually reserves its miracles for Real Madrid.

He has known every emotion in this legendary arena on a Champions League journey that has brought him here with Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Manchester City.

And tonight, Guardiola will once more appear alongside his friend and great adversary, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti, beneath those towering stands knowing victory will rank among his finest achievements.

Man City fan Emily Brobyn speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live: "I am very nervous right now as the match approaches.

"I think what takes the pressure off a little bit is that Man City are definitely going into this game as underdogs. I don't think there's many people out there expecting much from us tonight, I think that Real Madrid are heavy favourites.

"Being the underdog is quite a rare thing for us, so maybe that means we can play with a bit more freedom, a bit more courage, and just go for it. Let's play with no fear and bring the game to Real Madrid tonight."

It's been a rather even start to the game so far.

Dortmund have a three-goal advantage and look fairly comfortable.

It is up to Sporting to make something happen.

Yes, Jude Bellingham can play tonight.

The midfielder was sent off in Saturday's draw with Osasuna and subsequently given a two-game ban, but that applies to domestic fixtures only.

Manchester City are in Madrid tonight needing to win after they conceded a last-minute goal from Jude Bellingham at Etihad Stadium last week.

It means Real lead the two-legged tie 3-2 and have one foot in the last 16 of the Champions League.

But this competition has thrown up comeback wins and thrilling matches time and again, can City play their part in both of those things happening tonight?

We are under way at Signal Iduna Park.
