Manchester City v Real Madrid: Women's Champions League - live

49m ago Preamble So where is the game? City will, I think, look to dominate in midfield, moving the ball quickly with the full-backs opffering width, especially on the right, and Shaw constantly challenging the last line, but peeling off for aerial crosses.

I doubt Madrid think they're able to beat City at City's game, so they'll look to counter, keeping their front three up the field; the question is how they get the ball to them. But if they can, they'll look to play into Schroder, with Linda and Athenea running off her, so she can spin and race into the box.

Oh my days, Inter have just equalised in the final seconds of injury time. FAK deserved a point or better against Chelsea, and this is a proper sickener.

We're playing injury time in the two early games, in which it's Austria Wien 1-0 inter and Køgø 5-1 Servette. Also going on: City look to have the edge over Madrid in midfield, the invention of Hasegawa and Fujino backed up by the industry of Blinkilde Brown.

I'd expect Senss, Jacinto and Caruso to play closer together, to avoid being passed around, but they'll also need to spring to begin attacks; not an easy balance to strike. I'm really looking forward to the battle between Casparij and Caicedo.

I reckon City will want Casparij to get forward and see if Caicedo will follow her, or cheat by staying upfield. If she has the run of the right flank, she can stand crosses up for Shaw, and I'd fancy her against the Madrid defence.

Two changes for Madrid too, Athenea and Silvia Cristobal coming in for Janou Levels and Lotte Keuklaar. City make two changes to the side that drew at Bayern - they rested players for the 1- win at Charlton last weekend - with Sam Coffey and Beth Mead replaced by Mary Fowler and Laura Blindkilde Brown.
