Never the heavy metal football under Klopp, this is thrash metal from Borussia Dortmund tonight.

Erling Braut Haaland and John Stones grapple like they are pogoing for position at a gig before City go on the attack.

Oleksandr Zinchenko's cross drifts towards the Dortmund goal and the keeper tips over. Pressure still being piled on...

Liverpool keeper Alisson has only touched the ball 11 times. Federico Valverde's cross doesn't reach him as Nat Phillips clears.

Trent Alexander-Arnold to Roberto Firmino again. This time the England right-back crosses for the Brazilian, who heads over the bar. Two chances in two minutes.

Kevin de Bruyne's set-piece delivery has not quite been A-game yet. The free-kick ends up in the hands of Dortmund keeper Marwin Hitz and a couple of corners moments later can't find a City head.

Liverpool - just as they did in the first half - have a huge chance seconds after kick-off. Trent Alexander-Arnold plays a clever pass into Roberto Firmino but he shoots the ball into Thibaut Courtois's torso from a tight angle.

Here we go then. City straight out of the blocks as Kevin de Bruyne is rugby tackled by Dortmund's Mateu Morey.

The second half begins. Liverpool need to score twice at least or they're heading out.

While we eulogise over Jude Bellingham, we need to remember what sticky situation City find themselves in here.

This is the one for Pep. The tournament he was brought in to win.

Forty-five minutes for his team to this tie around and keep their dreams of the quadruple alive.

Are you backing them to do it? Thumbs up or thumbs down.

Very organised performance from Dortmund, there is a little bit more to see from City to come which they will have to be wary of.

Dortmund are really taking this game to City.

Drop it like it's hot...

Jude Bellingham is the youngest ever scorer for a German club in the European Cup/Champions League.

Bellingham has stood out tonight, playing like he has played for years and years, he is one of these players you have to keep your eyes on as he will get better and better. He is 17 and he's scored against City.

I've not seen one City player who is going to make a difference at the moment.

Liverpool had 20 touches in the opposition box - their most without scoring in the 1st half of a Champions League match since February 2019 (22 vs Bayern Munich).

Liverpool have given it a good go. They should probably be a couple of goals ahead when you think of the early chance for Mo Salah and the chance for him at about 40 minutes. He had an opportunity to find the bottom corner and then straight after that Gini Wijnaldum had another chance. The good thing is they're creating opportunities and they didn't do that in the first leg. It's all to play for in the second half.

Real Madrid will be happy and relieved with that goalless half-time scoreline. Liverpool's poor finishing has let them off the hook.

The answer to that earlier question is... no. Referee Carlos del Cerro Grande toots his whistle as soon as the click ticks 45.

What a half!

England teenager Jude Bellingham's thronker separates the sides and puts Dortmund into the Champions League semi-finals as it stands.

Those three words are always a colossus caveat.

The half-time whistle goes.

Liverpool could have scored four goals - but they are 45 minutes away from Champions League elimination.

The corner is headed away.

Liverpool win a corner right at the end of the half as Trent Alexander-Arnold's cross is blocked.
