Monaco 3-1 Manchester City, Atletico Madrid 0-0 Bayer Leverkusen – Champions League as it happened
City unceremoniously dumped out by the Principality outfit.
- Manchester City knocked out of Champions League by Monaco on away goals.
- Mbappe fired Monaco in front with a close-range tap in after eight minutes.
- Fabinho doubled the hosts' advantage, guiding in Mendy's sublime cross.
- Sane halved the deficit and swung the tie back in City's favour but Bakayoko swiftly responded for Leonardo Jardim's men.
- Atletico Madrid are through to the last eight after drawing 0-0 with Bayer Leverkusen.

Full-time: Monaco 3-1 Manchester City
Manchester City are OUT of the Champions League. The Citizens lost out on away goals to Monaco, who rode their luck at times, especially in the second half, but deserved to go through.
Goals from Kylian Mbappe and Fabinho swung the tie in Monaco's favour in the first half. City were dreadful in the opening stages and while they did improve after the break and hit back with Leroy Sane, they were pegged back in naive fashion by Bakayoko.
Guardiola has missed out on the semi-finals of the Champions League for the first time in his managerial career, but he can have no complaints. City were made to pay for their woeful first-half display and will have to pick themselves up quickly ahead of their crucial Premier League clash against Liverpool.
That brings to an end our coverage. Have a lovely evening.
Lemar's excellent delivery finds Bakayoko, who heads the ball excellently past Caballero from the penalty spot. City have been made to pay for their profligacy and their silly high line which allowed Lemar to whip in a delicious ball. Strap yourselves in, folks, the last 12 minutes will be very interesting.
Make of that what you will.

Half-time: Monaco 2-0 Manchester City
Sublime from Monaco, woeful from Manchester City. The hosts have had all the chances and deservedly lead thanks to goals from Kylian Mbappe and Fabinho, who has strolled about like a classy goliath in the centre of midfield.
Guardiola's men have been second best in all areas and are yet to have a shot. So much for the spellbinding end-to-end excitement of the first leg, it's been one-way traffic at the Stade Louis II.
City have work to do, their Champions League dream is teetering on the edge.

Quick recap of the teams. We're about to get under way in France. The referee for tonight's clash is Gianluca Rocchi.
Manchester City: Caballero, Sagna, Stones, Kolarov, Clichy, Fernandinho, Sterling, Silva (C), De Bruyne, Sané, Agüero.
Monaco: Subasic; Sidibé, Raggi, Jemerson, Mendy; Bernardo, Fabinho, Bakayoko, Lemar; Germain, Mbappé.
Think that's a beat most of us can dance to...
Piss off Gazprom

Quite an achievement from the diminutive Spaniard.

Interesting little titbit regarding Falcao...
Monaco wanted to rest Falcao against Bordeaux on Saturday for tonight, but Leonardo Jardim had to bring him on at 0-0 with 25 minutes left.

Falcao is OUT, Monaco have confirmed. A real boost for Manchester City, but the Principality outfit are still more than capable of causing their backline a few problems.
The Colombian's replacement, Valere Germain, has scored nine times in 22 league starts this season.
Radamel Falcao is OUT of tonight's game!

On the subject of Pep's impressive European record, the Manchester City boss is already dreaming of winning the trophy with the big ears at the end of the season.
Guardiola has won the European Cup on three occasions - twice as a player, once as a coach - and is eager to taste Champions League success once again.
"Can we win it? I don't know," said Guardiola. "I would like to think about it or say yes, but I don't know.
"It's my eighth year as a coach and I know how complicated the competition is -- set pieces and free kicks, losing five minutes of concentration and you're out. But you can be sure that we are going to try. This season? Absolutely."

Pep Guardiola's a dab hand at making it to the latter stages of the Champions League. Will his impressive record be tarnished tonight?

Good evening and welcome to IB Times UK's live Champions League coverage of Monaco vs Manchester City and Atletico Madrid vs Bayer Leverkusen.
If the clash between Monaco and City is anything like the first leg at the Etihad Stadium a few weeks ago, we are in for a treat. Eight goals were shared between Leonardo Jardim and Pep Guardiola's men, as was a l'aissez faire attitude to defending.
The game at the Vicente Calderon looks like a foregone conclusion, though many said that about Barcelona's second leg against Paris Saint-Germain last week. Can Bayer Leverkusen add another incredible story to this year's frankly bizarre Champions League edition and knock last year's finalists Atletico out?
Stay right here to find out.
