4 min: Play comes to a halt as Nail Dirar falls to the ground after appearing to tweak a muscle during the corner. He gets to his feet but looks unable to continue and is slowly shepherded off the pitch by his side's medical staff. Substitution - Thomas Lemar comes on for the injured Dirar.

As expected, tonight's fixture has set a new record! The attendance figure has been announced as 85,011 thereby making it the highest attended English club game in Champions League history. Not only that, but it sets a record for the highest English club home attendance too.
