Schalke's goals-against record in their past four games reads 3-3-4-4, and on this evidence you can see why. If this game follows that recent pattern then City will get five tonight, and I think they will probably be disappointed if they don't.

Still, at least the German side's fans have performed well. They reacted to each City goal by bouncing up and down in unison - all three tiers of them - and they did not stop singing throughout the first half.

So far, they have been rewarded by seeing their team manage the grand total of one shot (off target) and zero touches inside the City area. Something to aim for in the second half then...

Away we go again.

City through, Atletico-Juve is probably going to be a late finish.

Will Nicholls: Can’t help but feel that VAR is being overused here, it’s like a child with a brand new toy. All they want to do is play with it all the time. It’s slowing the pace of the game down because it’s being used in situations it really doesn’t need to be used in.

Bibz: There is always going to be teething issues with VAR as everyone involved has to go through a steep learning curve and the technology will be tweaked as we go on, eventually it will become a really useful tool so we all need to be patient with it.

Manchester City have won the game. At times Schalke frustrated Manchester City in the opening 20 minutes, but once City got the first goal the floodgates opened.

City have to make a statement in this second half and Pep would want to win six or seven and if you win 7-0 it makes people's eyes open.

I've finally made it.

Schalke are miles away from being good enough at this level. Manchester City are cruising and not having to try very hard.

This was nearly a very important goal for Atletico Madrid, but on-loan Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata heads over from close range.

City have their name in Friday's draw for the quarter-finals.

Schalke are woeful.

Superb football from Man City.

Raheem Sterling plays a quick one-two with Danilo, but on this occasion the Englishman's shot is blocked between the legs of Ralf Fahrmann.

Nearly sneaked in.

Michael Reid: I could have made a cup of tea by the time VAR made that decision. Nowhere near ready for the Premier League next season.

Rhys Barker: The referee looked confident in both decisions for the City goals. So is VAR telling him to wait? The ref should be in total charge. I like VAR the concept but I don't want to see every decision rely on it.

Schalke boss Domenico Tedesco might quit at half time.

Juve almost level on aggregate but Cristiano Ronaldo nods wide and defender Giorgio Chiellini's header is tipped over by goalkeeper Jan Oblak.

It was a beautiful ball inside the full-back and we know Leroy Sane has phenomenal pace.

Schalke's backline is a joke, their defence is a shambles and you can see why they are conceding shed-loads of goals and it looks as if they have never played together.

They are not the quickest at this VAR yet. It shouldn't take as long and if they get the people who have been doing this for years then they could do it quickly.

You need to get operators who are used to the equipment and doing it quickly.

Jeers from the City fans as the big screens at the Etihad flash up that goal will be reviewed by VAR.

Man City 2-0 Schalke (agg: 5-2)

Hold on, hold on.

Two, three minutes to check if Raheem Sterling is onside or off.

The VAR decides he is on.

They took an age to make up their mind there.

Raheem Sterling got to the byeline, everyone was expecting a cutback but he produced a beautiful backheel straight into the path of Sergio Aguero. Lovely, little ball and Aguero still had a lot to do.
