45+1 mins: Nothing to separate the two teams yet. Erling Haaland’s effort was the chance of the half and Juve’s goalkeeper was up to the task of keeping him out.

The points are all to play for in the second half.

42 mins: A Man City free kick is swung in by De Bruyne but Khephren Thuram is on hand to nod it behind for a corner. There’s a bit of argy bargy inside the six-yard box that the referee sorts out.

De Bruyne then puts in the cross and a headed clearance drops to Rico Lewis. His eyes light up and he looks for the volley but scuffs his effort without troubling the goalkeeper.

40 mins: Save!

This is the moment. Kevin De Bruyne is given the ball just outside the penalty area. He controls it on the turn and pokes a quick pass in behind the Juventus defence.

Erling Haaland makes his run perfectly and collects the ball as Michele Di Gregorio comes sprinting off his line. Haaland looks to chip the goalkeeper but Di Gregorio sticks out a left hand and palms the ball to safety.

Big moment, big save!

39 mins: On TNT Sport commentary Owen Hargreaves is praising Haaland’s concentration levels and confirms that previous shot was only his seventh touch of the game so far.

It must be so frustrating for the big Norwegian striker when service is limited like this.

36 mins: City create a half-chance after De Bruyne whips in a cross. Juve make a meal out of their clearance the ball drops close to Haaland.

He spins and fizzes an effort at goal with a snapshot but the ball hits the nearest defender and gets blocked.

33 mins: There’s a growing sense of frustration from the home supporters who want more from their team. Juve are set up in a mid-low block and have done a fine job limiting City’s opportunities in the final third.

The trade-off is that there’s not much flow going forward either. We’re stuck in a stalemate at the minute.

“Half an hour in and we have had one shot. It was quite a good shot, courtesy of Kenan Yildiz, but it is still only one.

“City have had far more possession but Juve have looked the more threatening. Perhaps, after recent traumas, Pep Guardiola is content simply to see his side pass the ball and not concede.

“But the dynamics of the group means City actually have to win. As, really, do Juventus.”

30 mins: Half an hour played and I’m genuinely unsure whether Erling Haaland has touched the ball yet. If he has he’s not had more than three touches.

City are doing their best to control play but they aren’t creating a whole lot.

Ah! Lewis sends the ball up to Haaland but, as he’s being man-marked, has to drop deep to get the ball. He sends it straight back to Lewis.

Well he’s had at least one touch now.

27 mins: Wonderful hold up play from Vlahovic as he takes on Ruben Dias and Rico Lewis after winning control of a long ball. He brings it down and turns toward goal before getting brought down.

The resultant free kick doesn’t trouble City who recover the ball quickly and look to build slowly out from the back again.

24 mins: Oh! Jeremy Doku does a step-over and dribbles at Nicolo Savona before cutting inside and slipping a pass into the box for Kevin De Bruyne’s darting run.

De Bruyne collects the ball and cuts it inside where Erling Haaland is waiting. It seems like a sure chance but Pierre Kalulu intercepts the ball and boots it away.
