    You won't have a problem if the wall is as well put together as the PSG one that tried to block Mahrez's free-kick last week.

    Been visibly shaking with angst since mid-afternoon. Am now vibrating at such a frequency that I'm pretty sure I could walk through a wall.

    Man City v PSG (Agg: 2-1, 20:00 BST)

    I'll tell you who this isn't just another game for... the Manchester City fans.

    I'm fortunate enough that the team I follow have appeared in a Champions League semi-final and there is nothing normal about it. You wake up thinking about it, spend all day with a knot in your stomach, the nerves building in anticipation of one of those rare football fan moments. Then you lose and watch on as some other set of swines have your moment of joy.

    Or at least that's my experience.

    City have, of course, been here before, so the feelings will be familiar for some. Doesn't make the routine any different, though.

    Anyone who had watched Rodri will know what a waste of space he is. Slow, gives the ball away, offers nothing defensively. About time he was dropped. Thank goodness Ferna is in.

    Just seen some slow-motion footage of the PSG players arriving at the Etihad. Some steely glares on show.

    There's business to be done here.

    Yeah, Fernandinho's inclusion at Rodri's expense is a bit of a surprise. The former is not lacking in experience, though, and it's a precious commodity in games of this magnitude.

    It's actually Fernandinho's 36th birthday today. Not a bad gift.

    What happened to Rodri? Is Pep tinkering again?

    Ah, British weather. There's nothing like lashing hail in May to keep your optimism in check.

  11. Career-definingpublished at 18:52 British Summer Time 4 May 2021

    Man City v PSG (Agg: 2-1, 20:00 BST)

    To be fair to Pep, the message is probably the right one. Approach this one like all the others, just get out there and do the job.

    But this isn't like all the others, and no matter how much you try to drum that into a set of players, the prize is simply too great to be acting like tonight is normal.

    So, let's just tell it like it is - this is massive. Certainly season-defining, possibly career-defining for some (if not most) of these players.

    Excited? You should be.

    Man City v PSG (Agg: 2-1, 20:00 BST)

    The big news from the PSG camp is that Kylian Mbappe's calf injury is severe enough to prevent him starting the game. He is on the bench.

    We'll have full team news in a sec.

  13. History in the makingpublished at 18:46 British Summer Time 4 May 2021

    Man City v PSG (Agg: 2-1, 20:00 BST)

    Pep Guardiola has managed 288 matches as Manchester City boss.

    None of them have been a Champions League final.

    Tonight, he and his side will never have a better chance of correcting that stat.

    He and City talk of making history. Well, history is outside the door, banging to be let in.

    Yeah, right Pep.
