12 minutes Bernardo’s cross is headed away but only to De Bruyne at the edge of the area. He kills it and hits an early shot that deflects behind Vrsaljko. The resulting corner is headed in front of the goal and out by Laport.

10 minutes I’m fascinated by City formation. Many times it looks like 4-1-1-4, with De Bruyne and Bernardo as fake nines.

        8.09 p.m.  BST 20:09

9 minutes Cancello whistles a long shot that deflects away from Atletico. City is starting to build some momentum.

        8.08 p.m.  BST 20:08

7 minutes Still a lot of possession for City, although it has not yet passed behind Atletico.

        8.06 p.m.  BST 20:06

5 minutes City’s starting line-ups were a lie – he now plays with Gudogan in midfield and Bernardo Silva as the fake, fake nine. De Bruyne also plays very high on the pitch. Ake remains left back. Updated at 8.07 p.m. BST

        8.05 p.m.  BST 20:05

4 minutes in, Joao Felix makes a dangerous save up for City’s defense towards Llorente on the right. Ake does well to stay with him and then receives a foul from Giorente on the edge of the area.

3 minutes There is nothing to mention so far other than an entire possession of City. And a nice flag that looks like City coach Pep Guardiola. Photo: Lee Smith / Action Images / Reuters Updated at 8.13 p.m. BST

        8.01 p.m.  BST 20:01

1 minute Peep peep! After the City players kneel down, Ilkay Gundogan starts the game. It’s a rainy night in Manchester and City have lined up as planned on BT Sport – Ake on the left back, Gudogan as the fake nine.

“Wuthering Heights can work for a City analogy,” begins Justin Kavanagh. “But it’s the Wiering Depths of Simeone Atletico that I look forward to enjoying tonight.” It will not be the same without Hector Herrera.

“Speaking of Football Weekly,” says Matt Burtz. “I have been a loyal listener for many years, and I have always wondered if we will ever be able to hear your sweet tones as a panelist. To whom should I refer my report / request to the Guardian? ‘ If I were you, I would go straight to the top: CP Scott, the Manchester Guardian, Manchester, UK, 1920s. (I did a lot of Football Weekly in the early years, but for various reasons I was pretty bad. And then I moved to Orkney, mainly so I wouldn’t have to do it again.) Updated at 7.54 p.m. BST

Pep’s thoughts before the match “I want to be ourselves, to try to do the best we can individually and as a team and after that football is football. We want to impose our game, but it is a good team – champion of Spain, and it has always had good results in Europe. He is a tough opponent. “John [Stones] will play with Eimer in the center and Nathan [will play at left-back]. We have players on the bench who can change the game – Gabby, Phil, Jack. “But I decided to start with these kids today.” Manchester City’s Phil Fontaine (left) and Jack Grillis go out to warm up.

“Wuthering Heights,” says Rai Skrupskis, “are epic riots.” I’m sure everyone will agree that you’re half right.

The other game tonight is Benfica vs. Liverpool and you can follow it with Nick Ames.

Atletico enters this tie in first form. They have won seven of their last eight games and the eighth – a home draw with Manchester United in the last 16 – ultimately led to victory. But their toughest fight at the time was against Real Betis, so it’s like jumping straight from level two to level five in Target: Renegade. Or it was level seven, I forget. You understand the meaning, I’m sure. Oh well, if that’s your attitude, I do not know what else to say. Atletico players are warming up. Photo: Tom Jenkins / The Guardian Manchester City, meanwhile, have failed to win three of their last eight games, which makes one wonder if Pep Guardiola has taken this team as far as he can. Updated at 7.37 p.m. BST

        19:17 BST 19:17

Record face to face This is the first time that Manchester City is playing against Atletico Madrid, so it does not make much sense to continue this participation.

        19:17 BST 19:17

“I see that Pep has deceived you once again with the team he chose with the utmost wisdom for Madrid,” says Greg Pizzaman. “He will not leave Cancello’s left-back just because Walker has been sent off. Stones in RB. Poor mortal. “ I said it would be either Stones or Cancelo, so I do not consider myself a leader yet. But I will raise my hands if it starts with a back quartet of Sterling, Mahrez, Guardiola and Brian Marwood.
