    A warning for Manchester City as Laia Aleixandri, inside her own penalty area, has to fling herself at the ball to get a vital block in.

    A panicky clearance, which could've ended up anywhere, from Barcelona's Ingrid Engen earns City a corner, but the set-piece, taken by Lauren Hemp on the right, comes to nothing.

    Manchester City 1-0 Barcelona

    No sign of City holding back and sitting on what they have got. They are still pushing players forwards with five of them on the edge or in the area as one attack breaks down.

    City have come out with the same intensity they had in the first half. I thought Barcelona might have come out angry.

    Barcelona have only failed to score once in their past 79 games. Can they salvage this one today?

    Miedema made that run across the front post and she thought her glancing header would end up in the bottom post. She had Shaw behind her queuing up too.

    Vivianne Miedema with a huge chance to double City's lead from that free-kick.

    Alex Greenwood's delivery is a good one from the left, Miedema gets there with the header but the glancing effort goes well wide when she should have at least hit the target.

    Me and my friend yesterday agreed that Man City were probably one of the only two teams (along with Lyon) who would have a chance against Barca. Glad we are being proved right!

    City's high press has Barcelona struggling. Bonmati and Batlle anonymous. But, games can change as Arsenal found out earlier.

    In case you didn't see it earlier, Arsenal scored the first goal of the game, but then lost 5-2 at Bayern Munich.

    Manchester City have managed to keep her reasonably quiet so far, but will be well aware of the danger posed by Caroline Graham-Hansen.

    She has been directly involved in nine goals across her last five group stage appearances in the Women’s Champions League (four goals, five assists), scoring on each of her last three such outings (four goals).

    Most of the fans are in shock here. Nobody, and I mean nobody, would have predicted Naomi Layzell scoring to put Manchester City 1-0 up at half-time against Barcelona. A woman in front of me put her hand to her chest, blew her cheeks and said 'I've lost my voice!'

    City should have scored more than one goal. They could have scored at least three goals in this half.

    Manchester City 1-0 Barcelona

    City lead 1-0 at the break against the reigning European champions. Barcelona have had chances, one off the post and one off the line, but City ahead.

    A good watch, with the home fans delighted so far.

    Mary Fowler has a strike at the Barcelona goal, but over the top it goes.

    A chance for an equaliser and it falls to Caroline Graham-Hansen, who has got clear of the City defence with only Ayaka Yamashita to beat.

    But the City keeper has her angles spot on and dives well to save the resulting low strike.

    I can't stress enough how big that goal was. It's Naomi Layzell's first club goal... EVER.

    The goalkeeper came and couldn't make it, she just waved at it.
