The ref wastes no time this time. The yellow card is straight out for Dani Carvajal as he slams into Kevin de Bruyne.

Hold on... is Kyle Walker going to give this a go? He is, you know.

Can't fault his heart. How will his legs hold up, though?

It’s an incredible battle between Vinicius Junior and Kyle Walker.

It’s like Cristiano Ronaldo against Ashley Cole when Portugal played England.

They are toe-to-toe with each other.

Vinicius Junior watches on with interest.

Kyle Walker is down off the ball. I think he's provided all he can this evening.

The Kyle Walker-Vinicius Junior tussle continues.

The Real man nicks the ball off the City defender and charges away. Walker stays with him, but the cross comes in only to be headed away.

Tim in Marlow: Kyle Walker is a plus full-back, for sure - but would any club in the world seriously prefer him over Trent Alexander-Arnold? They don’t even belong in the same conversation!

The tension continues to grow.

Every player out there will know that it could be one error that settles or swings this tie.

Almost controversy!

The ref has his whistle to his lips as Phil Foden goes down after a challenge near the Real box. But he decides not to blow.

Real counter and Vinicius Junior almost gets in from Karim Benzema's pass.

City would have gone nuts if the home side had scored that.

Take a bow Bernardo Silva.

He sticks a boot out to get a toe on the ball and deny Vinicius Junior a proper shot in the box.

The chance all came from a driving run from Casemiro after City had given the ball away.

An area of concern for Pep Guardiola is the movement of Karim Benzema.

If they don’t keep an eye on him and if they let concentration slip with Aymeric Laporte and Ruben Diaz, Benzema is the man who will exploit that.

He has been quiet but he can produce something out of nothing.

The home crowd sense this could be their side's moment, roaring encouragement.

Discipline needed from the visitors.

Hearts in mouths for City.

Real turn the screw after Luka Modric's shot from the edge of the box is blocked. Karim Benzema tries to get in, so does Vinicius Junior.

City hold firm. Just.

Fernandinho was warming up pretty seriously at the break. Word is that Kyle Walker is patched up for this game.

City will want to get as many minutes as they can out of him. Remember in the first leg when Vinicius Junior took Fernandinho to the cleaners for his goal?

Bernardo Silva drags back Luka Modric. Could be a yellow. Isn't. At least the ref is being consistent here.

Dominic Crimmings: Casemiro is the new Ramos

Simon: Casemiro been getting tips from Fernandinho on Brazil duty

City respond with a prolonged period of possession. Taking the sting out of it a bit. Smart.

They do end it with an effort at goal. Gabriel Jesus fires an angled shot straight at Thibaut Courtois.

That’s a huge chance for Vinicius Junior.

The Real Madrid players have their hands on their heads. They can't believe he missed.

He has to score in that position.

Again, the flag is up to strip the drama. But Real have what initially looks to be a huge chance at the start of this half as the ball is sent down the right for Dani Carvajal to fire a low cross into the box for Vinicius Junior to shank wide.

It's offside somewhere, either against Carvajal or Vinicius Junior. VAR would have looked of course.

The Brazilian should have hit the target regardless.
