Andy, your wish has been granted.

Yaya Toure gets the hook and on comes Raheem Sterling.

Andy Dhami: How long will city carry Toure? Looks disinterested!! Bring on Sterling and move De Bruyne into the hole.

A bit more venom from Cristiano Ronaldo this time as he finds space between Eliaquim Mangala and Nicolas Otamendi and lets fly with a snap shot that is denied by Joe Hart. 

All too easy for Real Madrid. Manchester City are offering nothing.

"Manchester City have been giving the ball away so easily and there's been so little pressure on Real that you wonder how long it will be before Pellegrini makes a change."

Real Madrid make the first change of the game as Jese is replaced by Lucas Vazquez. 

Manuel Pellegrini keeping his options open for now, but Kelechi Iheanacho has just been sent to warm up. 

Who is picking up Dani Carvajal? He is all alone on the right and has time to pick out Cristiano Ronaldo with a cross but, fortunately for Manchester City, the forward cushions a header at Joe Hart.

Joe Young: Someone needs to remind City they're playing a Champions League semi-final.

"Again Joe Hart is called upon. He makes himself big but Modric, who ghosted in, just onside, has to score. Good save."

Now Luka Modric is put through on goal by a brilliant Gareth Bale ball.. His first touch to bring the ball under control gives Joe Hart time to close down the gap and he then blocks the Real Madrid midfielder's shot. 

All Real at the moment.

First attack for Manchester City as Jesus Navas clips the ball ahead Kevin de Bruyne inside the area but the forward mishits his shot and it is dealt with by Real Madrid.

The hosts attack again and slice through the Manchester City backline as Jese has sight of goal, but shoots over.

Jese skips past Nicolas Otamendi with ease and speeds down the left, but can't find anyone with his cross.

Still, the ease at which the hosts are able to attack is of concern for City.

"Great start by Real Madrid. Toni Kroos found Dani Carvajal on the right with a lovely ball, he's got such great vision. 

"This could come down to the substitutions Manchester City make. They haven't had enough quality in the final third. Can they change that?"

Chris Green, Huddersfield: The late Fernandinho attempt which struck the left-hand post gives City real belief that they can score the away goal that would be the passport to them advancing to Milan. But where is the intensity and pressure when Real come forward? It's too easy for Real to pick out passes and shots.

Anyone worried about Eliaquim Mangala in for Vincent Kompany will have their concerns eased by his tackle just now.

Straight from the kick-off Real attack and Dani Carvajal has the ball wide right, he crosses low and Ronaldo is lurking, but Mangala gets ahead of him and makes the block. The flag was up for offside, but good awareness by Mangala regardless.

Big 45 minutes ahead for Manchester City. Can they step it up? 

We're back under way.

Tennis stars Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal are at the game. Nadal's a Real fan, Manchester City for Djoko?

Sure can James. Forest Green Rovers are winning 1-0 at Dover with 12 minutes to go. Tense!

Francis Edwards: With Kompany out injured and at half-time looking like they're heading out, I think City are really going to struggle for top four.

Jack Parks: City are making Real look much better than they are. Need to use their physicality to their advantage. Play faster and stronger!

Simon Bolton: Only one goal in it. City can match Real psychologically and grab a winner.

"City are not out of this. De Bruyne has to get in the game though, because when he's popped up in the middle, suddenly things have opened up. He's been sensational in that position behind Aguero recently. He can run with this game and take City all the way to the final."
