Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Follow live updates as Roma take a slender 2-1 lead to the Estadio Dragao, where they face Porto in the Champions League last-16 second leg.

The first leg at the Stadio Olimpico was a tense affair, until the game burst into life in the last 20 minutes when Italian teenager Nicolo Zaniolo scored a brace before Adrian Lopez pulled one back for Porto.

Both sides suffered weekend defeats domestically and could do with the boost of booking their place in the Champions League quarter-finals. Follow it live:

The perfect start

11: Great defending

Manchester United are under pressure here and you feel all of their defensive know-how will be tested in full. Dani Alves gets a dangerous low cross past Shaw and into the middle, but Smalling is on hand to put in a timely block to deny Mbappe from close-range.

GOAL!!!

PSG 1-1 Manchester United (3-1)

Bernat

Well that lasted.

Mbappe times a run well to lose the defenders and collect the ball on the inside right channel just on the side of the penalty area. He fires a low cross in front of the goal and Bernat is on-hand to turn it in at the far post unmarked.

Lukaku's goal

15: PSG are breathing a huge sigh of relief and have relaxed after their early wobble. Di Maria once again looks well up for this and almost turns provider again. After finding space on the left, he clips a cross to the back post and Alves strikes a volley after waiting for it to bouce, but slices an effort well over.

Porto 0-0 Roma (1-2)

It's been a slightly slower start in Portugal, where Porto are battling to overturn a first leg defeat. They've started brightly and dominated play through the left flank but have little to show for it. Roma are defending well here and are relying on catching Porto on the counter attack.

20: United are in all kinds of trouble.

Young is really struggling to deal with Bernat here and sooner or later it is going to result in a second goal. Without really breaking a sweat, Alves clips a pass to Mbappe and the ball is worked to Di Maria on the edge of the box. The former United man sweeps a pass to his right and picks out Bernat, who eventually gets the ball from his feet and tests De Gea at the near post.

Minutes later and Di Maria fires an effort just wide from a smilar area. Young and Bailly need to have some frank words with each other here.
