Full time: Barcelona (3) 1-0 (1) Manchester City
Full time: Borussia Dortmund (1) 0-3 (5) Juventus
Full time in both games tonight. Barcelona go through after a single goal victory given to them by Ivan Rakitic's goal. Sergio Aguero's penalty miss saw City's hopes dwindle. Juventus will join them in the last eight after thrashing Dortmund 5-1 over two legs, with Carlos Tevez getting two on the night in the 3-0 win in Germany.
Well that is all we have time for on this Champions League night. We're back with all the action on a packed weekend of football at home and on the continent. Until then goodbye.
Full time: Barcelona (3) 1-0 (1) Manchester City
Full time: Borussia Dortmund (1) 0-3 (5) Juventus
Amazing how City are only one-down. Messi smashed one from six yards and Hart makes a great reaction stop as Barca attempt to walk the ball in.
Barcelona go agonisingly close again to putting this tie beyond City as Neymar hits the bar from point blank range as Joe Hart's goal continues to live a charmed life.
Drama at the Nou Camp as Manchester City grab a lifeline in the tie as Aguero wins a penalty following a foul from Pique but from the spot kick Ter Stegen saves from the Argentine.
Ball in the net for Barcelona but it is ruled out for offiside. Hart makes a fine save as Neymar directs Messi's cross goalwards and on the follow-up Jordi Alba taps home but he was beyond the Brazilian and is rightly adjudged to be offside.
Goal: Borussia Dortmund (1) 0-2 (4) Juventus (Alvaro Morata)
Game over in Germany and Juventus are heading through to the quarter-final. Carlos Tevez spins in behind and goes through on goal, squaring the ball to Morata at the last moment for the forward to tuck into an empty net.
City are giving this a real good go as Barcelona sit back a little and Yaya Toure smashes the ball against the side-netting. We're into the final quarter of the game but yet the game is in the balance.
City are living and breathing in this tie and they should be level on the night. Navas gets the wrong side of Alba but his cut back is missed and when Kolarov shoots goalwards, Milner can't turn it in from the rebound. On the counter, Hart gets down to deny Messi when a goal seemed certain. That is the risk they are taking now.
Ter Stegen makes a complete hash of a clearance and is pick-pocketed by Aguero, who shoots towards goal, where it takes two Barcelona headers to keep the ball from finding the net. Pique with the final clearance. Mad stuff at 3-1 up in the tie.
Joe Hart keeps City in it with three second half saves. First he saves well from Iniesta's first time volley before smart stops from Jordi Alba and Lionel Messi keep City in the tie, just. The thread is becoming stretched.
And the game at the Nou Camp is also back under way. Jesus Navas on for Samir Nasri for City, who also need two second half goals to take the game into extra time.
Back under way at Westfalenstadion. Dortmund need at least two goals to take the game into extra time. Juve in the box seat.
Goals in both of our last 16 second legs which have the ties all but secure. Barcelona lead against Manchester City through Ivan Rakitic's goal while Juventus have one foot in the last eight after Carlos Tevez's early away goal. Premier League representation is 45 minutes away from being reduced to zero.
Suarez already has two in this tie and he could have had a third as he flicks a Messi through ball beyond Hart but against the post.
It's fantasy football from Barcelona at times. Messi plays a delightful flick over the City defence where Neymar plays a square pass which is put behind by Sagna. From the resulting corner it really should be two, as Suarez can't make proper contact with a free header.
A fourth yellow card of the first half for City and it comes for Samir Nasi, who having been wound up by Jordi Alba all night has taken his frustration out on Neymar with a wild hack from behind. Lucky not to be dismissed the Frenchman.
Goal: Barcelona (3) 1-0 (1) Manchester City (Ivan Rakitic)
Manchester City on the brink at the Nou Camp. Lionel Messi plays an inch-perfect cross which catches out the city defence and Rakitic takes the ball down and lobs the onrushing Joe Hart. Fine goal.
