Jude Bellingham's maiden UEFA Champions League goal wasn't enough as Borussia Dortmund lost 2-1 on the night and 4-2 on aggregate to Manchester City in the quarter-finals.

As it happened

FULL TIME

The final whistle sounds and brings Dortmund's run to an end. City move on, and they'll face PSG in the semis. Thanks for joining us.
89'

CAN CAN'T

The former Liverpool and Juventus man might have pulled one back, but sends his shot over the bar from the edge of the box...it's not been his night.
88'

PEP RECORD

The City boss looks like he's going through to his eighth Champions League semi-final, pulling him level with record-holder and arch-rival Jose Mourinho.
83'

HAALAND HANDLED

The Dortmund danger man got a shot away - wide - with 10 minutes to go, his first of the game. City have found a way to do what so many teams have not been able to this season, and keep Erling Haaland in check for most of the night. This will be the seventh competitive game in which he's not found the net.
82'

DORTMUND DOUBLE CHANGE

Can Brandt and Tigges cook up what would be the most miraculous end to this game?
75'

STATE OF PLAY

We cannot have extra-time now with City 4-2 up on aggregate. Dortmund need to score three in the closing quarter-hour.
75'

FODEN BREAKS DORTMUND

He scored the late match winner last week, and now the England international has found the net again to - surely - dump Dortmund out. It's a short corner from Mahrez to Bernardo Silva - he finds Foden on the edge of the box, and his low shot pinballs in off a post.
75'

Phil Foden

GOAL!

1:2
69'

HUMMELS FINDS THE NET

But it's only the top of the net, unfortunately - a looping header from a free-kick lands behind Ederson but on top of, not in, his goal.

HAALAND & REYNA

The dads of Erling Haaland and Gio Reyna, Alf Inge and Claudio respectively, both played for City. Gio’s father Claudio turned out for City from 2003 to 2007, while the senior Haaland, Alf-Inge, played in sky blue from 2000 to 2003.
66'

GÜNDOGAN HAS A GO

City's former Dortmund man has a shot...wide of the target. That's 12 goal attempts for City to six for BVB, but the hosts have got three on target, City just two.
62'

SIT DOWN, TAKE A DEEP BREATH...

Mahrez's strike was City's 40th in 15 away games...what's that goals per game? Anyone got a calculator?
60'

WHERE THERE'S DAHOUD...

There's hope for Dortmund. The midfielder is full of running tonight, and he squeezes off a shot that is well blocked by Ruben Dias. That was travelling.
58'

RODRI OFF THE BAR

Foden takes the resulting corner...met by Rodri, looping effort...and off the top of the crossbar and over. City really trying to put the game to bed now.
58'

DE BRUYNE DANCING THROUGH

The Belgium international makes light work of the Dortmund defence before firing a shot goal wards...the ball ricochets wide off Akanji. That could have been worse.
56'

STATE OF PLAY

So level on the night, City 3-2 ahead on aggregate. This does raise the possibility of extra-time if Dortmund score again and we finish at 2-1 after 90 minutes...
55'

MAHREZ LEVELS IT UP

Hitz goes the right way, but Mahrez's penalty is too well struck, it's high too, and the Dortmund 'keeper is beaten. You've got to give credit to Mahrez, that was a quality spot-kick.
55'

Riyad Mahrez

GOAL!

1:1
52'

IT IS...

Now it's down to Hitz.
52'

OR IS IT?

We've got VAR in action...
52'

PENALTY FOR CITY

Can goes up for a cross, but instead of the ball hitting his head, it strikes his arm...referee Carlos del Cerro Grande points to the spot.
49'

AND THIS TIME...

It's Can at the near post to head away the corner. City applying early pressure, Dortmund standing firm.
48'

HAALAND PUTTING IN A SHIFT

The Dortmund forward is back defending a corner...and rises at the near post to put the ball behind for another City corner. The hosts are working hard for each other.
48'

DE BRUYNE FIRES IN A FREE-KICK

But it's straight at Hitz, who makes a clean catch.
46'

SECOND HALF KICKS OFF

And play is back underway in Dortmund - 'just' 45 minutes between BVB and the semi-finals.
camera-photo
45'

HALF-TIME

It's Dortmund with the advantage at the break. There was a big let-off when De Bruyne hit the crossbar, but they have been more than a match for the visitors. It promises to be a nail-biting 45 minutes to come...
43'

DORTMUND SITTING DEEP

Haaland is well inside his own half as Dortmund force City to try and play their way through the ranks of yellow-and-black shirts. And BVB are dangerous on the break.
42'

DAHOUD CAUSING TROUBLE

The Dortmund midfielder surges forward and gets a shot away...Stones steps up to block. Dahoud's runs from deep are giving City plenty of food for thought.
40'

BELLINGHAM BOOKED

There's a yellow card for the Dortmund midfielder for his foul on Foden...the English teenager has been centre stage in the first half for many reasons.
38'

HITZ TESTED

Well, kind of. A City corner is met by Zinchenko, but the full-back's header is easy catching practice for the Dortmund goalkeeper.
35'

HAALAND BEING HELD

The City defence are keeping very close tabs on the Dortmund danger man, but he did have a key role in the goal. The one time he's escaped the visitors' shackles, and BVB scored.
32'

BELLINGHAM IS EVERYWHERE

Foden shows a silky touch and he turns the ball back to Mahrez - he charges forward and shoots, but Bellingham is there to block.
27'

BVB UNDER PRESSURE

City are starting to find their feet - but with the way things stand, Dortmund are going through to a semi-final with Paris Saint-Germain, the team that defeated them (narrowly) in the Last 16 last season.
25'

THAT WAS CLOSER...

Morey intercepts a De Bruyne pass, but his heavy touch gives the City captain a shooting opportunity - and he pings an effort off the crossbar. Bernardo Silva heads the rebound wide. That was a big let-off for Dortmund.
24'

WALKER WAY OVER

The England defender lines up a shot...that sails into the stand behind Hitz's goal. No danger there, Dortmund will take those all night.
18'

AKANJI CLOSE TO A SECOND

The Dortmund centre-back is up for a corner...and meets it nicely, but can't quite keep his header down. That could have been number two for BVB.
18'

ANOTHER FIRST FOR JUDE

The 17-year-old got his debut Bundesliga goal at the weekend; that was his first in the UEFA Champions League.
camera-photo
15'

THE FIRST FOR JUDE

Haaland moves down the channel, pulls it back for Dahoud - his shot is blocked by Ruben Dias, but the ball drops kindly to Bellingham, who doesn't need a second invitation to side foot high into the net.
15'
Jude Bellingham
14'

DORTMUND STAND FIRM

City are enjoying a lot of possession, but they're struggling to find any holes in the Dortmund team, who are looking well drilled.
camera-photo
11'

MOREY GETTING FORWARD

The Dortmund full-back is stopped in his tracks by Phil Foden, the City attacker. But the more he's in his own half, the less potential last week's matchwinner has to cause damage.
9'

FRANTIC START

It's been lively in the opening minutes with that Dahoud effort the only significant goal threat. There will surely be more to come though.
7'

FIRST SHOT

Dahoud hits a powerful drive from all of 25 metres and it flashes into the midriff of Ederson. Either side of the City goalkeeper, and he would have been in trouble.
2'

CITY'S SET UP

De Bruyne is playing as a 'false nine' it seems with Bernardo Silva to the right.
1'

HERE WE GO!

And the game is underway at the Signal Iduna Park!

KNAUFF: FOUND BY KLOPP

Back in September 2014, Knauff, who was 12 at the time, played in the OPEL Family Cup youth tournament at which Klopp, going into his final BVB season, was a guest. Knauff’s displays not only earned him the ‘Player of the Tournament’ award, a Golden Boot trophy and a pair of Marco Reus’ actual boots - they also caught Klopp’s eye to such an extent that he invited him to have a trial with Dortmund’s U13s. Last week, he made his maiden first-team start in the first leg against City, and he plays again tonight.

HEY, JUDE!

Jude Bellingham was one of the best players on the pitch in the narrow 2-1 reverse to Man City last week, producing a performance beyond his modest years as Dortmund went toe-to-toe with the runaway Premier League leaders, even having a goal disallowed after he was adjudged to have fouled goalkeeper Ederson. “Jude Bellingham’s development doesn’t surprise anyone here,” said interim coach Edin Terzic when asked about the teenager at his media briefing on Tuesday. “We see how he trains and works. He’s a huge talent and a fantastic player, but he’s still very young." The 17-year-old has made 38 competitive appearances for Dortmund so far in 2020/21, and earned two senior England caps.

WINNING PREP

While City lost 2-1 to 10-man Leeds at the weekend, Dortmund came from behind to beat Stuttgart 3-2. Captain Marco Reus, 17-year-old Jude Bellingham and 19-year-old Ansgar Knauff were the scorers.

PEP DOESN'T LOVE DORTMUND

The City manager has failed to win five of his 12 meetings with Dortmund (L4, D1). There can't be many teams with a better record against Guardiola than that.

HELLO ILKAY!

Ilkay Gündogan made over 100 competitive appearances for Dortmund between 2011 and 2016 when he moved to City. The Germany international midfielder is back in the stadium where he did the 2011/12 domestic double. He also helped Dortmund reach the 2012/13 Champions League final...he'll be trying to stop them tonight.

ZINCHENKO ZIPS IN

Ex-Bayern boss Pep Guardiola slots Zinchenko into the left side of his back four, replacing Joao Cancelo, who drops to the bench.

TERZIC KEEPS FAITH

It's the same starting XI for the hosts as they had at kick-off in Manchester. And why not? It was a very good display indeed in England.

QUIZ QUESTION

Here's one for the hardcore Dortmund fans out there: who scored BVB's goal in the 1-0 win over City in 2012? You've got 10 minutes to mull it over.

GOAL GUARANTEE

The Black-Yellows have scored in their last 39 competitive games. Surely they can find the net against a City side that will leave spaces for them tonight.

CITY VS. GERMAN TEAMS

City's record in two-legged ties against German clubs is 3 wins, 2 defeats. They beat Borussia Mönchengladbach in the previous round while they have defeated Dortmund's Ruhr rivals Schalke twice: in the 2018/19 round of 16 and in the semi-finals of the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1969/70.

DORTMUND VS. ENGLISH TEAMS

This is Dortmund's 29th match against English opponents. Their record: 11 wins, 5 draws, 12 defeats. The last time they played City at home - back in 2012 - Dortmund won 1-0, a result that would see them through to the last four tonight.

INJURY LATEST

That is if Reus plays. He's a doubt given he has a muscle strain. Definitely out for Dortmund are Moukoko (shin), Sancho (thigh), Schmelzer (knee), Witsel (Achilles' tendon), and Zagadou (knee).

REUS MILESTONE

It's a big night for the Dortmund captain in more ways than one. After his first-leg goal took him to a club-high 18 UEFA Champions League goals - passing former teammate Robert Lewandowski - he will make his 50th appearance in the competition tonight. Can he mark it with another benchmark performance?

HAALAND DUE A GOAL

Haaland is the competition's leading scorer on 10, but he's not found the net in 495 minutes for club and country. His goals "are important," said coach Edin Terzic. "More important is his ability to strike fear into the heart of every opponents and keep their attention."

WELCOME!

Hi! We'll have build-up and live text commentary of Dortmund's quarter-final second leg against Manchester City. Kick-off 9pm CEST. The Bundesliga outfit only trail 2-1 after a fine first-leg display in north-west England.

Latest

Haaland has been unplayable in just his second campaign of Champions League football, reaching double figures for goals in just seven appearances. He wasn't on the scoresheet in the away leg, but did set up captain Marco Reus for an all-important away goal. BVB might have had another, but for a contentious refereeing decision against English teenager Jude Bellingham in the first half. Interim coach Edin Terzic is still without former City youth player Jadon Sancho, but Reus shakes off a knock to start. Ansgar Knauff was a surprise starter on the right wing in Manchester, and stuck away the winning goal from the bench against VfB Stuttgart on Saturday. The 19-year-old winger starts against City in what's an unchanged XI from the first leg. A 1-0 win or victory by at least two clear goals will send Dortmund through to the semi-finals, where 2019/20 runners-up Paris Saint-Germain await.

Pep Guardiola knows Dortmund well from his three-year stint in charge of Bayern. His overall record against BVB includes seven wins from 12 encounters, though three of those losses came in knockout competition. The Catalan tactician won successive Bundesliga titles at the Allianz Arena, and is firmly on course to add a third English Premier League title to his collection, despite losing 2-1 to 10-man Leeds United on Saturday. The Champions League has proved the club's kryptonite, though. They've never won the competition and have only gone as far as the semi-finals once. Dortmund, on the other hand, were winners in 1997 and beaten finalists in 2013. Former Dortmund midfielder Ilkay Gündogan was part of the Jürgen Klopp team that lost 2-1 to Bayern at Wembley eight years ago, while Kevin De Bruyne spent his formative years in the Bundesliga with Werder Bremen and Wolfsburg. Oleksandr Zinchenko replaces Joao Cancelo at left-back in the only change from a week ago.

Watch: All of Haaland's Bundesliga goals!

Match stats

  • Haaland is the top scorer in this season's Champions League with 10 goals, two clear of PSG's Kylian Mbappe.
  • Man City's 15-goal top scorer Gündogan won the Bundesliga with Dortmund under Klopp in 2012, and left for England in 2016 with 156 BVB appearances under his belt.
  • Sancho made the opposite journey in 2017 and has since racked up 70 goals and 71 assists in all competitions for Die Schwarzgelben.
  • Haaland and Gio Reyna are the sons of former Man City players Alf Inge and Claudio respectively.
  • Had Bellingham's goal stood in the first leg, Dortmund might have extended their undefeated run against City to three games. They won 1-0 and drew 1-1 in the 2012/13 group stage.
  • Guardiola has failed to win five of his 12 meetings with Dortmund (L4, D1).
