on

Manchester City progressed to the semi-finals of the Champions League for only the second time after a 4-2 aggregate victory over Borussia Dortmund.

City were holding a 2-1 lead from the first leg but found themselves needing to chase the tie when 17-year-old England international Jude Bellingham curled in a superb shot from the edge of the box.

The crucial breakthrough for the blues came early in the second half as Emre Can was penalised for a hand ball in the box.  Mahrez stepped up to fire his side ahead again in the tie.

Phil Foden then sealed it. He added to the late goal he scored at the Etihad to give his side their first-leg lead.
