Liverpool 0-0 Bayern Munich, 84 minutes
It has been an entertaining 0-0 thus far, but 0-0 nonetheless. Just the two shots on target in the game, one for each side.
Liverpool look the likelier side to find an opener.
Liverpool 0-0 Bayern Munich, 85 minutes
Top stop!
Manuel Neuer has had precious little to do and thus his reaction to Sadio Mane's header is superb.
The winger gets low to head a cross to the near post, and the ball is just creeping in, but Neuer gets down to it swiftly and swats it behind.
Liverpool 0-0 Bayern Munich, 87 minutes
Renato Sanches is coming on for Bayern Munich in the Champions League, which seems a little unfair to Swansea fans watching given his lacklustre spell in Wales last year, which included a 5-0 defeat to Liverpool.
James Rodriguez has been rather subdued, and Javi Martinez recovers swiftly enough from cramp to ensure the Colombian is the man to be replaced.
Lyon 0-0 Barcelona, 87 minutes
Barcelona are banging on the Lyon door, but a fantastic Anthony Lopes save sends them away, at least for the time being.
It seems like an eight of frustration for the Catalan side, but they'll back themselves at the Nou Camp. Resolute stuff from Lyon.
Liverpool 0-0 Bayern Munich, 90 minutes
Four additional minutes are signalled as Bayern Munich prepare a change.
Rafinha will get four minutes to tune up, with the Brazlian. presumably pencilled in to start in Joshua Kimmich's place for the second leg. Serge Gnabry replaced.
Lyon 0-0 Barcelona, 90 minutes
Twice the Lyon wall stands tall to repel Lionel Messi.
Three minutes to run.
Liverpool 0-0 Bayern Munich, 90 + 2 minutes
Another timely tackle from Javi Martinez, who is rather stumbling about on lactic acid-packed legs. The experienced Spaniard has been superb tonight in Leon Goretzka's absence.
An exciting first half, a resolute defensive performance from Bayern Munich in the second. As you were headed into the second leg.
One of the better 0-0's you'll see. Lyon held on resolutely as Barcelona threw plenty at them in the second half, and showed enough on the counter particularly to suggest they can cause problems at the Nou Camp.
Very few would have predicted either game to finish 0-0.
Fewer still both.
And after two pulsating first-halves, to see the final scoresheet unblemished in both Lyon and Liverpool is quite the surprise.
Advantage Bayern and Barcelona, of course, with the European giants hosting the second-legs.
