Instead, John Stones is given the midfield screening role Manchester City haven't been able to fill properly since Rodri got injured in September. With Kevin de Bruyne and Bernardo Silva also included, City are reliant on Stones' physicality in the middle of the pitch to ensure Real's much-hyped front four don't expose their defence. Sporting v Borussia Dortmund (20: 00 GMT) Viktor Gyokeres is named on the bench for Sporting as their top scorer continues to work his way back from a knee injury. Rui Borges has made five changes from their last outing in this competition when they drew 1-1 against Bologna to round off the Champions League group phase. Goalkeeper Rui Silva, Jerry St. Juste, Matheus Reis, Joao Simoes and Geovany Quenda come in. Niko Kovac takes charge of Borussia Dortmund for just the second time after overseeing a defeat against Stuttgart on Saturday. Kovac makes two changes from their last Champions League encounter with Ramy Bensebaini and Maximilian Beier replaced by former Brighton midfielder Pascal Gross and Daniel Svensson. Brest 0-2 PSG It is a long check by VAR but Ousmane Dembele is deemed to have just strayed offside. Very, very tight but it stays 2-0. #bbcfootball, text 81111 (UK only - standard rates apply) or Whats App 03301231826 Looks like a 5-2-3 out of possession which will move into a 4-3-3 when in possession, Stones moving to CDM?

Brest 0-2 PSG Good start to this half by Brest as Abdallah Sima's powerful drive forces a good save out of Gianluigi Donnarumma. Brest 0-2 PSG We're back under way in this all-French tie. There is a chance Liverpool and Aston Villa could meet in the quarter-finals if they both win their last-16 ties. Arsenal could meet Celtic or Manchester City in that round too. But all of those potential fixtures depend on which way the last-16 draw goes. It is also possible British teams could meet in the semis or final. All should become clearer after 21 February when the draws for the last 16 onwards are made. Man City v Real Madrid (20: 00 GMT) Simon Stone BBC Sport's chief football news reporter at the Etihad Stadium Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola had plenty of history with Real Madrid before he moved to England. But they have almost been league rivals in recent seasons. This is the fifth campaign out of six and fourth in a row City have been paired with Real. Never quite as early as this though. You do not need me to tell you how important this game is, " Guardiola says in his programme notes. "Four years in a row now we have faced Real Madrid. It is starting to feel like a derby. "Real are the kings of this competition after winning it 15 times. We will have to be at our best. " Man City v Real Madrid (20: 00 GMT) BBC i Player Real Madrid have won the Champions League 15 times. That means they probably have a pretty good idea of how to do it. This 30 minute documentary on BBC i Player tells the story of how Real Madrid
became “Kings of Europe”, uncovering what lies behind their magical ability to
deliver in the Champions League when it matters most. Alongside reliving last
season’s unexpected 15th European Cup win, former star players Clarence Seedorf
and Sami Khedira reflect on the club’s evolution, the never-say-die Los Blancos
mindset, and the decisive factors that led to a sixth victory in a
decade. Watch here on i Player! Brest 0-2 PSG The whistle goes for half-time with PSG very much cruising towards the last 16 as things stand. Ousmane Dembele (45 mins) It had to be Ousmane Dembele! It is a lovely move that spans the length of the pitch as PSG go from by their own corner flag to putting the ball in the back of the Brest net, the ball worked to Dembele inside the box and he sweeps home. That's his 17th goal in his last 10 games and also his sixth against Brest this season alone. Man City v Real Madrid (20: 00 GMT) Kelly Cates and the 5 Live team will bring you all the live build-up, coverage and reaction from Manchester City v Real Madrid in the Champions League. Tune in from 19: 00 GMT for the pre-show, with live commentary from the Etihad Stadium from 20: 00 GMT. Brest 0-1 PSG PSG are saved by the woodwork again as Achraf Hakimi, getting back to defend, ends up prodding the ball against his own post. Brest 0-1 PSG This is a good game and end-to-end now as Bradley Barcola flashes a first-time strike just wide of goal. Brest 0-1 PSG Brest are inches away from levelling as Abdallah Sima's header from a corner smacks against the post. The hosts are enjoying a good spell at the moment. Man City v Real Madrid (20: 00 GMT) Here we go again. Real Madrid v Manchester City in a Champions League knockout match. It is becoming a classic rivalry of our times. This will be the fourth time the football powerhouses have met in Europe in the last four seasons - but with one big difference. This time, rather than being in the latter stages, both sides are fighting for their lives to merely make the last 16. So how did two of Europe's most successful sides in recent seasons fail to make the top eight and end up in a play-off? Read Guillem's full column on the BBC Sport website Brest 0-1 PSG Ousmane Dembele has scored 16 goals in his last nine games so he is a man on form right now. He peels away from the defence to meet a ball over the top and attempts what would be a spectacular volley if he connects well, but he doesn't and his effort balloons well over.

Manchester City v Real Madrid BBC Radio 5 Live Listen here at 20: 00 UEFA Champions League All competitions All competitions All competitions This will be the first time ever that both Brest and Paris SG have faced a fellow French side in European competition. The only previous UEFA Champions League tie between two French clubs was the 2009-10 quarter-final between Bordeaux and Lyon, from which Lyon progressed 3-2 on aggregate. Paris SG are unbeaten in their last 30 matches against Brest across all competitions (W22 D8), with their last defeat against them coming in January 1985 (1-3 in Ligue 1). Indeed, they’ve already beaten Brest on two occasions in 2024-25 (3-1 at home and 5-2 away in Ligue 1). In what is their debut campaign in European competition, Brest have progressed from the UEFA Champions League league phase. They are the first French side to make it past the first round of the European Cup/Champions League in their debut campaign in major European competition since Nice reached the quarter-final in 1956-57. Paris SG won each of their final three matches of this season’s UEFA Champions League league phase, their longest winning run in the competition since February 2021 (run of 4), and just one fewer win than they managed in their previous 14 fixtures in UEFA’s premier competition (W4 D3 L7). Brest lost just one of their four home games in the league phase of this season’s UEFA Champions League (W2 D1), their final match against Real Madrid (0-3). Indeed, home and away, after winning three of their opening four matches in the 2024-25 competition (D1), Brest then lost three of their final four (W1). Brest have completed just 72% of their passes under high-intensity pressure in the UEFA Champions League this season; the second-lowest success rate during the league phase, only behind Sparta Prague (70. 1%). Meanwhile, only three sides have made more high-intensity pressures in the final third than Paris SG (894) this term (Bayern Munich, Arsenal, and Liverpool). After scoring just three goals from 95 shots (3. 2% conversion rate) and 8. 0 x G in their opening five UEFA Champions League games this season, Paris SG have since scored 11 from 54 shots (20. 4%) and 8. 4 x G. Indeed, only Bayern Munich (185) attempted more shots in the league phase overall than the French club (149). Brest’s Ludovic Ajorque applied more pressures in the opposition’s half (447) than any other player in the 2024-25 league phase of the UEFA Champions League, with only Erling Haaland (295) applying more in the final third than the Frenchman (293). Paris SG’s Achraf Hakimi created more chances (21) than any other defender in the UEFA Champions League 2024-25 league phase, while the only defender to attempt more shots than the Moroccan (20) was Álex Grimaldo (21). Indeed, Hakimi was directly involved in four goals (1 goal, 3 assists), the most of any defender in the league phase. Paris SG’s Ousmane Dembélé has hit the woodwork three times in the UEFA Champions League this season; the joint-most of any player during the league phase (also three by Mo Salah). However, after only scoring with one his first 25 shots in the competition this term (4%), the Frenchman converted three of his last five shots (60% - including a hat-trick v Stuttgart).
