    BBC Sport chief football writer Phil McNulty at Etihad Stadium

    "Roma have posed some serious questions for Manchester City in those 45 minutes.

    "City may feel they should have had more than one penalty but the Italians look a real threat to their Champions League ambition - and those sumptuous touches of class from Francesco Totti."

    Yousuf Ali:, external José is a genius..this time he's brought Torres back from loan and has him playing disguised as Schurrle.

    Four attempts on goal, three on target and an absolute sitter missed. It's been a busy first half for Chelsea forward Andre Schurrle.

    "As the home side in a Champions League game you want the crowd behind you, but Sporting haven't done anywhere near enough.

    "Chelsea, in fairness, have been very lax in front of goal.

    "From front to back they've been very strong, they just haven't been able to finish things off."

    Half-time at the Parc des Princes and Paris St-Germain head down the tunnel with their noses in front after Marco Verratti's header. The pace of the game settled down considerably after that goal, with neither side managing another shot on target before the break.

    It seems Patrick Kluivert was only having a quick catch-up with David Beckham earlier as the former England midfielder is sat next to singers Jay-Z and Beyonce. As you do.

    Graeme Jake Scott:, external so far Totti = Toure+Silva+Dzeko. Phenomenal ability from a legend of the game. Great touch and vision.

    Paul Gibbons:, external The system City are playing didn't work last year why did they think it would work this year..they've learnt nothing

    Luke Langfield:, external another #city game another poor ref, some things never change

    Simon Howard:, external Hart overrated. Poor decision making and accident prone.

  10. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:31 British Summer Time 30 September 2014

    City may look shaky at the back but they still pack a punch up top. Edin Dzeko looks particularly busy this evening and wins a free-kick with some good hold-up play, but it comes to nothing.

    And there is the whistle.

    Jill, Leamington Spa: Delighted for Matic to have his moment. Every game he gets his head down and provides a solid spine to the team which allows the other players to take the plaudits.

    Sam in Manchester: It's finally hit me that United aren't in the CL. I am so used to being in Russia or France on a Tuesday night but instead I'm on my sofa. Oh well, I'll support whoever City play - C'mon Roma!

  12. GREAT SAVE!published at 20:28 British Summer Time 30 September 2014

    Gervinho! He's a new man for Roma, burning past Gael Clichy and getting past Martin Demichelis before Joe Hart makes a big save at his near post. There's more goals in this one!

    Chelsea are so potent to watch here. Every time they get on the ball they just tear through the Sporting back four, shredding them to ribbons. If Andre Schurrle had his shooting boots on it could be four or five already.

    Tom Miszkowski:, external Don't know if it's the Italian food or weather that's turned Gervinho into a world beater, different player to his Arsenal days

    Christopher Onwuka:, external Goooooooaaaal!!! At last Matìc!!!

  15. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 20:25 British Summer Time 30 September 2014

    Fabulous move from Manchester City, the move of the match, all one-touch and fluid movement as Jesus Navas floats from right to left before drilling in a low cross which hits defender Kostas Manolas on the hand. Manolas is on the floor and on the slide - he's lucky to get away with that...

    Sporting have a sighter as striker Islam Slimani turns on the edge of the box but drags one wide.

    Not too many goals to bring you from elsewhere in the Champions League.

    Lucas Andersen had put Ajax 1-0 up at Apoel but the Cyprus side equalised soon after courtesy of Gustavo Manduca's spot-kick.

    Meanwhile, Dzyanis Polyakov has given Bate the lead at home to Athletic Bilbao, the defending tapping in at the far post.

    "It has been coming - it was just a simple ball to the far post.

    "Matic found himself free and he totally lost his marker. He had to generate his own power from the header to get it over the keeper, but a great finish."

    Booed as his name was read out, ex-Benfica man Nemanja Matic shuts the crowd up by heading Chelsea ahead with the simplest of goals. Cesc Fabregas gets another assist as his looping free-kick finds the midfielder at the back post, and he floats a header home. All too easy.
