2,000 extra police at City match amid terror threat

Security was stepped up for Champions League matches after a media group linked to IS terrorists issued the apparent threat online concerning all four of the ties.

The game in Madrid went ahead last night, as did Arsenal's tie against Bayern Munich at the Emirates Stadium, which was also the subject of the threat.

Tonight's games see Borussia Dortmund travel to face Atletico Madrid in the Spanish capital, while PSG host Barcelona in Paris.
