Half time: Boos from the home fans as City go in 2-0 down and have a mountain to climb. 0-2
Goal: Lyon double their lead and City have it all to do 0-2
Disallowed Goal: Gundogan has the ball in the net but Sterling was offside before passing to the German 0-1
Goal: City didn't learn from that scare and Lyon take the lead through Cornet 0-1
Disallowed Goal: Maxwel Cornet (yes really) thinks he’s scored but is flagged offside. A let off for City

Teams are out, we can do this.
COME ON CITY!!!!!
It’s finished in Ukraine, where Shahktar and Hoffenheim played out a 2-2 draw. The blue will be hoping to take a two point lead over their rivals with victory tonight.
This is the first meeting between the two sides and City have never lost at home to a French side in this competition, having won two and drawn one. Can the blues make it three wins out of four?
Team news is in:
Vincent Kompany returns to the matchday squad and is named on the bench, alongside Sergio Aguero and Leroy Sane. Benjamin Mendy is still not deemed fit to take part.
Former blue Jason Denayer starts for Lyon, as does former United men Rafael and Memphis Depay.
