  • FULL TIME Manchester City 7-0 RB Leipzig. Thank you for joining me on this ride to witness history, my name is TUNDE YOUNG and I leave you with the reactions to #MCIRBL 
  • 90+1' GOALLLL!!! 7-0!!! Manchester City are relentless and unforgiving, this time Kevin DeBruyne with the goal which can be described as the pick of the night.
  • 63' Pep Guardiola proved to be the only man capable of stopping Haaland tonight by subbing him off, much to the delight of the RB Leipzig defence.
  • I might as well put the words 'Haaland Goal!!!' on a loop, it is becoming repetitive. He has done it again. FIVE for him now. FIVE GOALS!!!
  • 52' GOAALLLLL HAALAND AGAIN!!! Manchester City are now 5-0 up thanks to their goal-getting viking.
  • GOALLLLLL!!! 49' Scratch that, it's now 4-0 to City, Ilkay Gundogan with a smart left-footed finish into the bottom corner.
  • The second half begins and this tie is pretty much done and dusted as a contest, with the home team up by 3 unreplied goals and 4-1 on aggregate.
  • HALF-TIME Manchester City 3-0 RB Leipzig
  • Manchester City lead 3-0 with the last real action of the first half with what was by no means a vintage City goal but I'm sure Pep Guardiola does not mind and neither does Haaland who completes a first-half hattrick.
  • 45' GOALLLLL!!! Haaland hattrick!!! He is inevitable!!!
  • The game progresses at a good pace and despite Erling Haaland's two goals, referee Slavko Vincic is competing with him for the limelight in this game.
  • Is Ederson lucky to still be on the pitch? he clattered into the RB Leipzig player and escaped without even giving away a free kick or picking up a booking.
  • 24' GOALLLLL!!! 2-0 Manchester City!!! it's Haaland again!!! this time he pounced on a rebound from De Bruyne's long-range shot to head in his second in two minutes.
  • 22' The penalty is awarded after Benjamin Henrichs is adjudged to have handled the ball and Haaland converts from the spot. CITY LEAD 1-0.
  • WAITTTTTTTTTT!!! VAR calls centre referee Slavko Vincic's attention to a potential handball in the aforementioned goal-mouth scramble.
  • 18' A goal-mouth scramble ensues in the RB Leipzig box involving Haaland and multiple players but Leipzig somehow escape without conceding. Still goalless at the Etihad.
  • 10' The first real chance of this game so far fell to the one man they would want it to, Erling Haaland but the usually prolific Norwegian striker could not beat Blaswich in the Leipzig goal and finish up Nathan Ake's delightful pass.
  • KICKOFF! We are underway at the Etihad Stadium for Manchester City v RB Leipzig or should I say, the Angelino derby.
  • The Etihad looks ready for a big Champions League night
  • TEAM NEWS! Manchester City make one change to the team that won 1-0 away at Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Saturday as Kevin De Bruyne replaces Phil Foden
