Into the first of three minutes of stoppage time at Etihad.

Famous last words and all that but no chance of any late drama here with Manchester City seeing this one out comfortably.

You wouldn't bet against them retaining it would you?

A brilliant ball by Diogo Jota finds Georginio Wijnaldum striding into the sizeable gap in the Ajax defence.

Wijnaldum takes a touch before trying to sweep past André Onana but the Ajax goalkeeper keeps out the ball with his leg.

Rhys Williams is on for the five minutes of stoppage time, replacing James Milner.

It's a 3-1-6 formation for Ajax, it's as simple as that. They've put three through the middle, two really wide, one slightly just behind and they do look dangerous when they're throwing men forward. Liverpool clinging on to this result, a clean sheet will be so important for Jurgen Klopp and his defenders.

James Milner looks like he's just cramping up a bit, feeling the effects of the huge distances he's covered tonight.

A break in play as James Milner receives some treatment after picking up a knock. It's nothing too bad and he's soon OK to continue.

Just over a minute left for Liverpool to hold on to victory.

Naughty from Pepe as he clashes with Raheem Sterling on the edge of the Porto area.

Sterling goes down under a challenge by Pepe, who isn't happy and nudges the City forward as he is on the ground.

No way this was ending without a Pepe booking.

Perr Schuurs and Daley Blind are replaced by Klaas Jan Huntelaar and Lassina Traoré.

Defenders replaced by forwards, Ajax are throwing everything at the visitors.

Triple change for Porto with this game heading towards the final 10 minutes. Nanu, Mehdi Taremi and Shoya Nakajima are on for Fábio Vieira, Jesus Corona and Zaidu Sansuni.

Oooh, André Onana gets away with this one.

The Ajax goalkeeper is almost up on halfway and his clearance is charged down by Diogo Jota. The ball deflects back to the Ajax box but Jota is beaten to it by a covering defender.

Moments later, Andrew Robertson just fails to turn in Takumi Minamino's driven ball into the box.

Wow!

Kingsley Coman has his second of the night and Bayern Munich have four! Thomas Muller sends Coman away down the right, he comes inside and finds the far corner.

Ominous stuff.

Andre Onana tips behind a decent Takumi Minamino's strike from distance before Diogo Jota's effort is deflected behind for a corner.

Better from Liverpool in this half as they look to get a second.

A crucial but final contribution by Ilkay Gundogan as he is replaced by Phil Foden.

Ferran Torres is also on, replacing Sergo Aguero as he continues to work his way back to full fitness.

Ilkay Gundogan is brought down by Fabio Viera just outside the D and Manchester City have a free kick in a really good position...

Drama at the San Siro as Arturo Vidal lunges into Marcus Thuram in the box. The referee waves play on before stopping the game and goes over to view the incident on a screen on the side of the pitch.

Having looked at it again he awards a penalty and Ramy Bensebaini fires Borussia Monchengladbach level.

Europe be warned. You'd think Atletico Madrid would provide very stern opposition for the champions but they are cruising to victory.

French midfielder Corentin Tolisso has just put a big cherry on top of the cake with an absolute screamer from 25 yards. Wooooosh!

Better from Liverpool - the press has been better and straight away Liverpool have got control of the game within the short space of time since the substitutes have been on the pitch.

Diogo Jota nods down for Takumi Minamino but the forward's first touch is poor and Ajax clear.

Just the one shot on target for Liverpool so far. They are struggling to find gaps in the Ajax defence.
