Just watching a replay of Trent Alexander-Arnold's ball to Luis Diaz in the build up to Liverpool's second goal. It needs putting in a time capsule for future generations to marvel at. Exquisite.

James D: Does any neutral actually enjoy watching city? Most boring team, congrats you made 1000 passes and didn't have a shot on target.

Richard: Actually think City will do better away from home when Atletico will attack more. However Atletico have shown it is easy to destroy than create in football.

Steve: It's honestly so boring watching City play pass after pass, side to side, no pace or urgency. Switched channels to watch some football instead.

City have had 73% possession and six shots, of which none have been on target.

They attempted 397 passes compared to Atletico's 149.

I looked at Diego Simeone as the referee blew the whistle and he had a satisfied look on his face as if to say that is exactly what I want. Sit in and don't exert unnecessary energy. It is not pretty but they have gone in level.

It is a hard watch, if you watch your team play like this every week, you have to be winning things and be successful.

City have not had the answer but if they get that kind of space they will unlock you and I expect them to score after the break.

Daniel: Week in week out in champions league I am sick of all the Atleti bashers! Its your refusal to appreciate and understand their work ethic and their genius tactics. Simeone is a mastermind who has a squad ready to die for him!

George: People need to understand that playing so well defensively as Atletico are able to do is just as hard to do as being as good going forward as Man City are. There's an art and skill-set to both styles!

Another absolute peach of a ball by Trent Alexander-Arnold and Mo Salah is in but another big save by Odysseas Vlachodimos.

Benfica then break but Rafa Silva fires wide before the whistle goes for half time.

And there is the half-time whistle.

City are being left frustrated by a side who just love to defend.

The Atletico fans are having a really good time. They are bouncing about and enjoying it in the rain.

Everton runs into three Liverpool players as he tries to bundle his way through.

The hosts do look good when they break forward but are just short of ideas in the final third.

City are trying to be patient but then seem to lose their heads around the box.

This time John Stones steps up and smashes over.

Jack Grealish and Phil Foden have a giggle on the bench.

There was no way that was going to be a penalty. It didn't look anything like it for De Bruyne, who seemed willing to go to ground. That has Diego Simeone calling for a yellow card.

Raheem Sterling's pass is cut out and those groans from the supporters are increasing in decibels.

Kevin de Bruyne goes down in the box, sandwiched by two Atletico defenders.

Play on says the ref.

And he is absolutely right, De Bruyne's touch was loose and he decides to eat grass.

Luis Diaz wants a goal tonight.

The former Porto forward has been booed with pretty much every touch of the ball he has had and he fizzes a decent effort from outside the box just wide.

Jan Oblak is having a very comfortable night.

No centre forward to aim at, Kevin de Bruyne sends his low cross straight into the hands of the Atletico goalkeeper.

Sadio Mane's goal came from a mistake in midfield by Benfica and moments after Nicolas Otamendi had flicked a header wide of goal from a corner. There can be no margin of error when playing against a Liverpool side in this form.

Oh delightful football from Atletico, so they can play a bit.

They're pushed into their own corner but quick, one-touch passing sees them emerge with the ball.

Joao Felix then tries to find Antoine Griezmann but the Frenchman cannot latch onto it.

Abs: Liverpool are on a different level to Benfica. Unbelievable standard of football from the Reds.

Bob: In football there are two ways to win. Either get blessed with billions of petrodollars or the more economical route of a friendly German man with a massive smile.

Joao Cancelo with a cross, guess what happens?

Jan Oblak claims it.

Rinse and repeat at the moment.
