Uefa have confirmed that Germany’s Covid restrictions mean the Bundesliga club are unable to travel to the UK without having to quarantine on their return.

It means both teams will again fly to the Hungarian capital Budapest to play in the Puskas Arena for the game on Tuesday.

City lead 2-0 from the ‘away’ leg two weeks ago.

Bernardo Silva and Gabriel Jesus bagged the goals to leave City with one foot in the quarters.

Meanwhile, Liverpool beat Germans RB Leipzig by the same scoreline in the first leg of their last-16 tie.

And the Reds will be looking to secure their quarter-final place in tonight’s second clash.

The other tie tonight sees Barcelona looking to fight back from a 4-1 first-leg defeat to Kylian Mbappe’s Paris Saint-Germain.

Already through to the next stage are Borussia Dortmund and Porto.

Dortmund beat Europa League holders Sevilla 5-4 on aggregate, with Erling Haaland playing a starring role.

Meanwhile, ten-men Porto defied the odds to secure an extra-time win against Cristiano Ronaldo’s Juventus last night.

Next week, it will be Chelsea’s turn as they hold a 1-0 advantage over LaLiga leaders Diego Simeone.

Real Madrid are also 1-0 up in their tie with Atalanta, while Bayern Munich lead Lazio 4-1.
