    De Bruyne cannot find the bottom left corner as he spears his attempt wide from the end of the box

  • 51'
    Jesus has a shot but goes straight to the keeper, offside flag goes up anyway so had it hit the back of the net, it wouldn't have counted anyway

    Shakhtar have a very long-range shot after Moraes crosses the ball into the box, trying to lob it without really thinking about it, it goes wide of the net and the defenders can easily clear
  • 45'
    Second half has kicked off!!
  • 45'
    Half time in this Champions League match, which sees Manchester City 2-0 up at half time, in a game in which they have been very clinical and not given Shakhtar many chances to get into this game
  • 45'
    1 minute added time!

    De Bruyne has a great chance after Jesus slots the ball through to him, but he tried to sneak it inside the right post and didn't quite measure it right, as it goes just wide
  • 37'
    Mahrez's ball is very simple and effective, Gundogan recieves it and just slots it into the back of the net. This is a display of smooth dominance by City and Gundogan's first Champions League goal.
  • 37'
    CITY DOUBLE THE LEAD!!
  • 35'
    What a chance for Shakhtar!! Taison with the through ball to Moraes, who had room either side of the net, but still hits the ball straight at Ederson. He would have expected to finish that off

  • 29'
    City easily clear the free kick, Sterling heads the ball away, as a lot of City men were back defending

    Rodrigo goes into the book after taking out both Ismaily's legs. He knows whathe's done and accepts the yellow. Free kick Shakhtar about 30 yards out
  • 24'
    There is no threat from the home side, as Ederson has had pretty much nothing to do and once again, Shakhtar find themselves in a very difficult position, trailing behind against Manchester City!
  • 23'
    Gondogan's initial shot from the penalty arc hit the bar, the deflection of the post comes right to Mahrez, who manages to slot it into the back of the net! A goal which City have been demanding in these first 20 minutes of the game.

    Mahrez has a shot from outside the box, but he can't quite get it on target and his curling effort goes wide

    After a bit of pressure from Shakhtar, Marlos curls the ball from outside the box and it goes just wide of the net.

    Guardiola says that being in the Champions League is always an honour. He says that Stones injury "is what it is" and they have to move forward with the players they have. He says they are going to defend and be cautious in defending but will drive and attack as much as they can.

    Shakhtar have never been beyond the last 8 and that was in 2011! These two teams have been drawn to face each other for the past 3 seasons consecutively.
