FINAL WHISTLE:

That's it!

A good half is not enough for Atlético Madrid to prevail after the 1-0 first leg defeat against Manchester City.

The Spaniards are about to score the opener here.

HALF TIME:

German referee Daniel Siebert blows the whistle after three uneventful extra minutes.

44 minutes:

Mahrez gets the next corner kick out for the Citizens, but Atlético can free themselves here too.

A goal from England before the break would put Atlético even more under pressure.

31 minutes:

The huge chance for ManCity – and Ilkay Gündogan is in the middle!

First the German national player tries it flat after a strong lay-off from Foden and hits the post, then he takes the rebound with his head.

But Oblak in the goal of the Madrilenians grabs.

28 minutes:
