MAN CITY OUT OF CHAMPIONS LEAGUE
Big mistakes from Sterling and Ederson will be the main talking points from tonight but questions will also be asked of Guardiola's formation switch up.
Once again City have failed to get close to the Champions League trophy.
FULL TIME: Manchester City 1-3 Lyon
The referee signals the end of the match and the celebrations begin for Lyon! They are through to the Champions League semi-finals where they will play Bayern Munich.
Dismay for Guardiola's Manchester City
CHANCE!
90+3' De Bruyne's free kick forces a fingertip save from Lopes and goes out for a corner
NO WAY BACK?
Is there any way Guardiola's team can pull this back now? It seems as if Man City are heading out of the Champions League at the quarter-finals once again!
STERLING SHOCKER
Raheem Sterling will be the focus of attention after the final whistle. Just seconds after he missed an almost open goal, Moussa Dembele bagged his second goal of the night.
SUBSTITUTION: Lyon
87' In the midst of all that excitement Ekambi has come off for Reine-Adelaide
GOAL! Manchester City 1-3 Lyon
87' Ederson spills the ball which falls to Dembele who easily places it into Man City's goal for the second time
HUGE CHANCE
86' Sterling has missed a sitter! Jesus played the ball into Sterling in front of Lyon's goal but the Englishman has put it well over the bar
SUBSTITUTION: Manchester City
84' Rodri comes off for David Silva who could be playing his last ever game in a Manchester City shirt if his team don't score soon
EXCITING FINAL 10 MINUTES AHEAD
What a match this is turning out to be! Can Man City dig deep to find another equaliser?
GOAL GIVEN!
80' Dembele's goal stands! How are City going to respond to this? 10 minutes of normal time left!
GOAL! Manchester City 1-2 Lyon
79' Here's a decision for VAR! Is substitute Moussa Dembele onside after his shot deflects off Ederson and trickles into City's net
CHANCE!
77' Sterling chips the ball to the back post where Jesus waits but the Brazilian fails to connect with ball and the shot goes over the bar
SUBSTITUTIONS: Lyon
75' Dubois comes off for Kenny Tete and Memphis Depay is replaced by Moussa Dembele
SHOT!
73' Jesus skips past a Lyon defender and forces another save from Lopes who is certainly the busier of the two keepers.
SUBSTITUTION: Lyon
71' Bruno Guimaraes is taken off by Rudi Garcia and is replaced by Thiago Mendes
GOAL! Manchester City 1-1 Lyon
69' Raheem Sterling cuts the ball back towards Kevin De Bruyne who slots the ball past Lopes into the bottom right-hand corner. GAME ON!
YELLOW CARD: Marcelo
65' Marcelo now has his name in Danny Makkelie's book after that foul on Jesus
FREE KICK
65' De Bruyne wastes yet another free kick, hitting it just over the Lyon crossbar
FREE KICK
64' Marcelo fouls Jesus on the edge of the Lyon penalty box. The referee tries to play advantage but the free kick is eventually awarded to Man City. Another good position for free kick specialist De Bruyne
SHOT!
63' A straight forward save for Ederson as Marcel's shot is fired straight at the City keeper
FREE KICK
60' The free kick is taken by De Bruyne who gets it up and down but there's enough power in the shot to trouble Lopes who palms it away
59' A push from Marcelo on Jesus gives City a free kick in a promising position. Both Mahrez and De Bruyne are lining up to take it.
YELLOW CARD: Rodri
57' Rodri makes a clumsy challenge and picks up a yellow card in the process
SUBSTITUTE: Manchester City
56' Riyad Mahrez replaces Fernandinho who is on a yellow card. Perhaps this is the change which will add some fuel to Man City's attack
51' Garcia holds Memphis back earning Lyon a free kick about 30 yards out but the free kick is wasted as Memphis can't get the ball over the Man City wall
SECOND HALF: Manchester City 0-1 Lyon
The second half is underway. What can City do to turn this game around?
HALF TIME ROUND UP
The first 20 minutes saw the two teams match each other for pace with chances for both City and Lyon. But it was the French side who have come out on top at half time with Maxwell Cornet's superb strike curling into Ederson's goal.
City pushed forward after conceding with chances for Rodri and Sterling but Rudi Garcia will be happy with his team's defensive efforts.
Guardiola will have some tough decisions to make coming into the second half as his change in formation does not seem to be working so far with a lack of creativity in the midfield.
HALF TIME: Manchester City 1-0 Lyon
The half time whistle blows after a period of Man City pressure but Guardiola's side could not find a way through Lyon's defence.
CHANCE!
45+1' Another chance for Man City. De Bruyne splits the defence and finds Sterling who has his effort blocked by the goalscorer Cornet. Another vital contribution from him!
43' City's De Bruyne picks out a cross to the front post where Jesus is waiting but Marcelo clears it away for a corner
CHANCE!!
41' After a patient build-up from City around the Lyon penalty area Jesus threads the ball through to Sterling who skills past a Lyon defender and plays it into Rodri who fires the shot straight at the keeper
FREE KICK!
39' De Bruyne powers the ball towards Lyon's goal but the shot is punched away by Anthony Lopes
FREE KICK!
38' Foul on the left side of Lyon's box. A good opportunity for De Bruyne
34' Man City seem to be lacking that spark of creativity in the middle with the change in formation. How will Pep react to this?
YELLOW CARD: Fernandinho
29' Fernandinho is the first City player in the book as he deliberately clips Houssem Aouar's heels on the edge of the Man City penalty box. The free-kick leads to nothing.
Another One!
VAR had a good look at that one! But it finally ruled Walker to be keeping Ekambi onside
GOAL! Manchester City 0-1 Lyon: Maxwel Cornet
24' Ekambi is tackled on the edge of the box by Eric Garcia but the ball trickles to Lyon's Maxwel Cornet who curls the ball into the bottom left corner
23' A reverse ball from Cancelo is played into Sterling on Lyon's goalline. He tries to pull it back to find a City player but Lyon clear their lines
20' Long ball from Ederson finds De Bruyne on the right-wing in plenty of space but the Belgian plays a poor ball across which fails to find Sterling
19' There have been no major chances in the last 10 minutes but both teams are clearly keen to push into the opponent's half
YELLOW CARD: Leo Dubois
12' Leo Dubois receives the first yellow card after taking down Garcia after the ball had been played
CHANCE!
10' Marcelo drives the ball from the edge of City's box following Lyon's first corner of the match but Ederson holds onto the strike well.
9' Kevin de Bruyne plays in a fantastic cross but there are no City heads to put it goalwards
7' It looks as if we are in for an exciting match as both Lyon and City have started energetically
4' Ederson forced into making a save as Walker's attempted chest back bounces awkwardly towards the Man City net
CHANCE!
3' Massive chance for Man City after Cancelo feeds the ball into Sterling who looks to find Jesus but Lyon manage to scramble it away for a corner.
KICK OFF: Manchester City 0-0 Lyon
And we're off!
Will favourites Man City be able to take one step closer to the one trophy which has eluded them or will underdogs Lyon be the ones to meet Bayern Munich in the Champions League semi-final?
Moments Away
The player's take to the pitch at the Estadio Jose Alvalade and the Champions League anthem rings out... Here we go!
We're almost there!
After last night's goal-fest between Bayern Munich and Barcelona, what will tonight's game have in store?
Man City are set for Quarter-Final
15 Minutes to Go
We are just 15 minutes away from kick off, stay tuned for live updates!
Lyon Ready to Go
Goals Galore
Gabriel Jesus, Sterling and Memphis Depay have all scored six in the Champions League this season. With all three starting let's see if any of them can add to their tally tonight.
Half-Century for Sterling
Raheem Sterling makes his 50th Champions League appearance tonight. The second youngest Englishman to do so after Wayne Rooney in 2010!
Change in Formation for City?
With Garcia coming in for Foden it seems as if Guardiola might be switching to a 3-5-2 formation.
Garcia, Fernandinho and Aymeric Laporte look likely to form a back three with Cancelo and Kyle Walker providing the width on the flanks.
Lyon Team News
Lyon keep the same XI that started against Juventus in the previous stage.
Injury doubts are cast aside as Cornet and Denayer remain in the starting lineup with Dembele missing out again.
Manchester City Team News
Phil Foden drops to the bench for tonights' fixture as Eric Garcia comes into the starting XI.
Cancelo's fine performance against Real Madrid earns him another start over Mendy.

Lyon on Their Toes to Face Man City
No Second Chances for City
In the pre-match press conference Guardiola spoke about City's different approach to the one leg quarter-final:
"It's quite different. When you play first leg you have one eye on second leg. When we play FA Cup or Carabao we are used to it. There are no second chances, you are either in or out. The approach is very different."
