Man City vs Atletico Madrid LIVE: Champions League result, final score and reaction as De Bruyne nets winner

12 mins: Mahrez clips a ball inside for De Bruyne but the Belgian can’t quite get onto it before it skids off the slippery service. It is rainy Manchester weather this evening.

City come forward again as Cancelo delivers a cross towards Gundogan but it’s cleared ahead of the German. De Bruyne then tries his luck and Vrsaljko blocks it away for a corner.

The respect is there.

10 mins: De Bruyne finds Cancelo 25 yards from goal and the Portuguese defender decides to take on the shot. He tries his luck and it takes a nick off an Atletico shirt but doesn’t quite fall for Sterling inside the penalty area.

First signs of space for the Premier League leaders.

8 mins: Late challenge from Kondogbia on Cancelo. The Atletico midfielder was sensational for his side at Old Trafford last month, but he gives City the opportunity to send a free-kick into the box after that foul.

De Bruyne swings it in but Savic flicks a header clear. Atletico then try to break but Felix is the only player forward and four City shirts surround him to close the space and clear the danger.

6 mins: Bernardo Silva appears to be the focal point of attack for Manchester City with Sterling on the left, Mahrez on the right and De Bruyne as the number 10.

A lot of passing from the hosts so far. Nothing in the way of chances.

4 mins: Atletico barely have a kick in the opening three minutes before Laporte looks for Sterling over the top and it’s just too heavy for the England international to bring down.

City have pinned Atletico into their own half in the early stages. No real surprise there.

Llorente is eventually found inside the City half after a hooked pass from Felix but he fouls Ake and City come forward once more.

2 mins: It is Cancelo at right-back and Nathan Ake at left-back for Manchester City.

Atletico immediately retreat into their defensive shape as the hosts begin their long evening in the the visitors’ half.

1 min: Here we go then. Everyone is ready. It’s Manchester City vs Atletico Madrid in the last 16 of the Champions League.

Bernardo Silva gets us underway.

The players are making their way out onto the pitch as we speak. It’s the blue of Manchester City vs the red and white of Atletico Madrid.

Mouthwatering.

The Etihad is packed out for tonight’s Champions League quarter-final. This really does have a big game feeling.

Sometimes you can’t beat this competition.
