Match report in news

  • 93'
    FT: Leipzig 2-1 (10) Man C!! All over in Germany and the hosts take the points thanks to goals from Szoboszlai and Andre Silva and even though Mahrez pulled one back, it wasn't enough. A draw would've been fair, I think. However, City will be without Walker for the 1st leg of the last 16 after stupidly getting himself sent off for a foul on A Silva. Thanks for joining us and see you now for Porto v Atleti!

    HT: Leipzig 1-0 Man C! Half-time at an empty Red Bull Arena and it's been a very even and open game. Szoboslai's 24th minute goal has given Leipzig the advantage here, but Man City have also had chances. Foden hit the woodwork and KDB was denied by Gulacsi, but Forsberg and Silva could have easily scored for Leipzig as well. A draw would be fair. Back shortly!

    They might be having less ball, but the hosts look much more dangerous.
  • 39'
