Roma appear vulnerable as they enter the last 16 of the Champions League nearly a year on from their incredible run to the semi-finals, where Liverpool finally eliminated them.

Porto await, quietly confident of landing themselves a quarter-final spot with one of the easiest routes in living memory, having gone unbeaten in a group including Schalke, Lokomotiv Moscow and Galatasaray.

The Giallorossi have one of the youngest, most talented sides around, including midfield revelation Nicolo Zaniolo, can they hold their composure at home to take a lead back to the Dragao? Follow it live:

17: Manchester United are prowling. Ashley Young delivers a quality ball into the box from the left and Presnel Kimpembe is on hand to head the ball clear with three in red queueing up behind him to attack the ball. That's a good piece of defending, that.

19: Ander Herrera sees Julian Draxler coming behind him, waits, waits, waits. waits...and then draws the foul from him in a 'nothing area of the pitch'

21: This is a classic start to a Champions League knockout stage. Both sides are lively and have spend the first 20 minutes working each other out. Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard have been looking to get themselves involved, but we have seen very little from Kylian Mbappe or Anthony Martial. Cagey and tense so far, but in a good way.

Roma 0-0 Porto

Still. No. Shots.

24: Jesse Lingard collects a neat one-two from Marcus Rashford and is away. He sweeps the ball from left-to-right towards Anthony Martial but the pass rolls a little behind the French winger and Old Trafford collectively groans as it trickles out of play. United doing well here to create a lot of nearly moments.

26: Paul Pogba is the latest player to go into the book for a late foul on Marco Verratti. It's a soft decision but it is in tune with the tone the officials have set here. This referee appears to be Italy's answer to Mike Dean.

28: How has that not gone in?

Just as I was getting ready to type 'goal', Kylian Mbappe slices wide an effort when in on goal. Julian Draxler helps Marco Verratti's pass into the path of Mbappe, who is away after spinning away from the defence and slices the ball wide. Replays show he may have been offside so who knows if it would have stood anyway.

30: Kylian Mbappe and PSG seem to have woken up here. Mbappe latches onto a forward ball and tries to ease his way past Ashley Young but is brought down by the defender's grappling arms.

33: Presnel Kimpembe holds his breath as Luke Shaw goes to ground after skipping past him in an attacking area. If that's a foul then it's a second yellow but the referee does not see it that way. He's definitely got away with one there.
