This is descending into a training ground exercise.

Real Madrid think they've had their first shot on target, with Toni Kroos curling an effort at goal and Peter Gulacsi acrobatically leaping to his left to get a hand to it.

But the referee pulls it back after a foul from Jude Bellingham before it fell to Kroos so it wouldn't have counted, even if it had nestled in the top corner.

RB Leipzig's Xavi Simons flights in a free-kick 30 yards out and Lois Openda is coming in around the back post.

He can't make a contact with the header though until the ball is nearly out of play and he can't keep it alive.

Double change for the visitors and Magnus Mattsson, who scored against City in the first leg, is one of those coming on. Roony Bardghji is also introduced to the action while Elias Achouri and Victor Froholdt have been replaced.

By the way, the draw for the quarter-finals is on 15 March.

Bayern Munich and Paris St-Germain are in the hat. Manchester City, barring a catastrophe, will be joining them.

Vinicius Jr is late on Willi Orban and the Leipzig skipper reacts angrily, springing to his feet. Vinicius gives him a shove in the chest and Orban falls in dramatic fashion.

But there's enough in it for Vinicius Jr to get a booking for Real.

Will Phil Foden, Kyle Walker, John Stones, Kevin de Bruyne and Bernardo Silva stay on the bench? Pep Guardiola is clearly looking ahead to Liverpool on Sunday after bringing off Rodri.

City's first chance of the second half. Erling Haaland's attempt is blocked on the edge of the box.

David Raum is done for pace by Rodrygo and the Real substitute, who has only just come on, gets fouled with the Leipzig full-back seeing yellow for the clumsy challenge.

A sloppy clearance by Ederson almost lets in Victor Froholdt but City's defence cleans up.

So close for RB Leipzig. Real goalkeeper Andriy Lunin makes a rash decision, coming to the edge of his penalty area on the right side. Lois Openda skips around him but is too close to the touchline so has to cut back inside and that gives Lunin a second chance to dive on the ball and stop the Leipzig man getting a shot away.

The keeper got away with that one.

More than 51,000 inside the Etihad including a healthy following from Denmark. The FC Copenhagen fans are determined to have a good time despite the score.

Sergio Gomez is on at the start of the second half for Rodri, who provided the assist for Erling Haaland's goal.

We're getting back under way in the second half in Manchester and Madrid.

Manchester City are very, very comfortable.

Carlo Ancelotti opts to make an attacking change at the break with Rodrygo coming on to give Real more of a threat up front. Eduardo Camavinga is the man to make way.

With Erling Haaland and Mohamed Elyounoussi scoring, this is the first game in Champions League history with both sides having a player from Norway on their scoresheet (excluding own goals).
