Man City v Sporting (20:00 GMT)

BBC Sport at Etihad Stadium
It's more than 1,700km from Lisbon to Manchester, which is a long way to travel - especially when your side is 5-0 down from the first leg. A few hundred hardy Sporting fans have made the trip though, decked head to toe in green and white stripes, and they have already made a bit of noise when their team's goalkeepers ran out for their warm-up.
They might have been dreaming of a miraculous comeback when they set off from Portugal but they would probably settle for not breaking an unwanted record their club already owns...
Sporting suffered the heaviest aggregate defeat of any knockout tie in the Champions League era when they lost 12-1 to Bayern Munich in the last 16 in 2009. Bayern won 5-0 away and 7-1 at home, so Manchester City are already halfway there.
