Man City 0-0 Club Brugge
Woops. Poor ball out from the back and Club Brugge hand it straight to Phil Foden.
It's whipped to the far post and Erling Haaland opts to head back across the face of goal rather than go for the target himself and it doesn't pay off.

Anyone who thinks Villa are home and dry with a 2-0 lead can't have been watching us much this season, with or without an Ozzy banner!

Dortmund 1-0 Shakhtar Donetsk
Serhou Guirassy puts Dortmund in front, bundling in from close range after Karim Adeyemi's cross.
That goal is huge as it moves them into the top eight as things stand.

Inter Milan 2-0 Monaco
Inter Milan won't be one of the sides Aston Villa will be overtaking tonight.
They've just doubled their lead against 10-man Monaco through Lautaro Martínez.

We've had our first sighter from Kylian Mbappe but his effort from the left flew into the crowd behind. Still level in France with Real Madrid going through the play-off route as things stand.
Girona 0-0 Arsenal
Arsenal on course to drop down to fifth from third which would affect who they play in the last 16.
Aston Villa 2-0 Celtic
Chris Sutton
Former Celtic and Villa striker on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
Aston Villa are cutting through Celtic far too easily.
Liam Scales did well to block that cross but then Cash marauding forward had the strike and it was blocked again.
Man City 0-0 Club Brugge
Izzy Christiansen
Former England midfielder on BBC Radio 5 Live
Man City are getting closer and closer now. It's a clever little header from Bernardo Silva into the path of Ilkay Gundogan. He strokes it into the far corner but it was offside. Lovely finish but it doesn't count.

Bit of a scrappy game in the Netherlands. PSV find some space down the left but Ismael Saibari's effort is weak and straight at Caoimhín Kelleher.
Lille 1-1 Feyenoord
Feyenoord weren't behind for long with Santiago Gimenez getting the slightest touch on Gernot Trauner's header from a corner to level at Lille.
Lille now down to 13th with Feyenoord 12th.
Aston Villa 2-0 Celtic
Celtic striker Adam Idah tries to do Boubacar Kamara for pace to get into the box but the Villa man tracks him well and puts him off.
Man City 0-0 Club Brugge
Ilkay Gundogan has the ball in the back of the net but it's immediately ruled out for offside.
The German gets free on the right and slots into the far corner.
It won't count but it wouldn't have been the first time he's scored an important goal for Manchester City.
Aston Villa 2-0 Celtic
Villa look for a third. Morgan Rogers passes and Matty Cash has a shot blocked from just outside the box.
Red Bull Salzburg 0-2 Atletico Madrid
A second for Atletico Madrid. This is brilliant stuff from Giuliano Simeone who shows off his inner Mesut Ozil to dink the ball over Red Bull Salzburg keeper Alexander Schlager.
He then hits a perfect cross for Antoine Griezmann who finishes on the slide.
Man City 0-0 Club Brugge
Izzy Christiansen
Former England midfielder on BBC Radio 5 Live
Erling Haaland is almost redundant in this game. Brugge are dropping right off and keeping him out of the game unless Man City cross it, and that is when he has to come alive.
Image source, Getty ImagesMan City 0-0 Club Brugge
Phil Foden has found some scoring form of late and has a crack from range on the left.
It flies over the bar but he's clearly got some confidence at the moment and fancies being the match winner tonight.
Aston Villa 2-0 Celtic
Morgan Rogers is the first Aston Villa player to score twice in a game in the European Cup or Champions League since Gary Shaw's hat-trick against Dinamo Bucharest in November 1982.
Girona 0-0 Arsenal
Captain Martin Odegaard shoots over the bar from distance for Arsenal.
Inter Milan 1-0 Monaco
Monaco are down to 10 men. Inter Milan are cruising!
Marcus Thuram, who won the penalty, is taken out by last man Christian Mawissa about five yards from the area.
Stonewall stuff.
Dortmund miss out on last 16 despite win over Shakhtar
Borussia Dortmund will have to win a two-leg play-off to reach the Champions League last 16 despite last season's runners-up beating Shakhtar Donetsk.
Finishing a point behind eighth-placed Aston Villa means the German side, who took 10th place, will face Sporting or Club Brugge in the knockout phase play-off next month.
Serhou Guirassy scored a first-half double while Ramy Bensebaini put the result beyond doubt in the 79th minute after Marlon Gomes had pulled one back for the Ukrainian side early in the second period.
This was interim boss Mike Tullberg's first Champions League game in charge of Dortmund, and Guirassy made himself a nuisance by bundling a curling effort from Karim Adeyemi past Shakhtar keeper Dmytro Riznyk for the opener.
The Guinean then latched on to a through pass from Julian Brandt and finished through the legs of the goalkeeper just before half-time for his second goal of the night and ninth in eight matches in Europe this season.
Dortmund looked to be coasting to victory, but Gregor Kobel allowed the visitors back into the game when Gomes capitalised on the goalkeeper's heavy touch to embarrass him by toeing in to halve the deficit five minutes after the restart.
Shakhtar put the Bundesliga side under considerable pressure before Bensebaini sealed the win when he received a backheeled pass from Giovanni Reyna and lifted the ball over Riznyk to restore their two-goal advantage.
It was Dortmund's first win in six games, coming in Tullberg's second match in charge since the departure of Nuri Sahin after the 2-1 defeat by Bologna last week.

Borussia Dortmund are unbeaten in four previous meetings with Shakhtar Donetsk in European competition (W3 D1), most recently eliminating the Ukrainians from the UEFA Champions League in the 2012-13 last 16.
Shakhtar Donetsk have won two of their last three away games against German opposition in the UEFA Champions League (L1), beating Hoffenheim in 2018-19 (3-2) and RB Leipzig in 2022-23 (4-1).
Borussia Dortmund lost 3-2 at home to Barcelona on MD6 of this season’s UEFA Champions League – the German side haven’t lost consecutive home games since April/September 2017, while they’ve never done so within the same season.
Shakhtar Donetsk lost 3-2 to PSV in their most recent away UEFA Champions League game, despite leading 2-0 until the 87th minute. The Ukranian have lost four of their last five on the road (D1).
Borussia Dortmund have only conceded two first half goals in their last 22 home UEFA Champions League matches, with 15 of the last 17 goals they’ve conceded at Signal Iduna Park coming in the second half, including all three in their 3-2 loss to Barcelona on MD6.
Only one of the last 10 Borussia Dortmund managers has lost their first UEFA Champions League game in charge of the club (W6 D3), with Peter Bosz losing against Tottenham in 2017-18. Indeed, each of the last four Dortmund bosses have won their opening match in the competition (Favre, Terzic, Rose, and Sahin).
Following their victory over Brest on MD7, Shakhtar Donetsk will be looking to win back-to-back matches in the UEFA Champions League for just the second time in their last seven campaigns (previously v Barcelona and Royal Antwerp in 2023-24).
Serhou Guirassy has been directly involved in nine goals in seven UEFA Champions League games for Borussia Dortmund this season (seven goals, two assists). He could become just the third player to hit double figures for the club in a single Champions League campaign, after Robert Lewandowski in 2012-13 (12) and Erling Haaland in 2020-21 (12).
No Shakhtar Donetsk player has been directly involved in more UEFA Champions League goals than Heorhii Sudakov this season (two goals, one assist), while he leads all players for the Ukrainian side for chances created (10), passes completed in the opposition half (126), and possession recoveries (31) this term.
Borussia Dortmund’s Serhou Guirassy has scored or assisted in each of his five home UEFA Champions League appearances (two goals for Rennes, four goals and one assist for Dortmund). In the history of the competition, no player has had a goal or assist in each of his first six home games.
