33 min: PSG shading this tie but City looking dangerous on the counter-attack. The home side bossing possession too - 66% to City's 34%.

GOAL! De Bruyne scores for City!On the counter-attack, Fernando charges forward, he waits before passing to De Bruyne on the right hand side of the box. The Belgian takes a touch before firing the ball past Trapp in the PSG goal for his 14th of the season.

GOAL! PSG equalise though Ibrahimovic!Shocking from Fernando. Hart passes him the ball, he takes a lazy touch before Ibrahimovic jumps in to deflect the ball in past a stunned Hart. A calamitous goal to give away.

GOAL! Fernandinho scores crucial goal for City!Sagna crosses, it flicks off Thiago Silva and Fernandinho bundles it in. What an important goal that could be in the tie for City.

81 min: Just how vital will that Fernandinho goal prove? The second leg is on 12 April at the Etihad...

89 min: Some nice interplay fro PSG but City clear. With the two away goals, plus Luiz and Matuidi banned for the second leg this is not a bad night for City at all.

FULL-TIME: And that's that. Great result for City. And a woeful one for Real Madrid, who have lost 2-0 at Wolfsburg.
