Man City vs Atlético Madrid

Manchester City host Atletico Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final. It is only the fourth time Pep Guardiola and Diego Simeone ...

50 minutes to kickoff: As is often the case with a Guardiola XI, who plays where is the big question. He sees the England winger off to concede a corner and again there's no dice for City. But there's a lot of ground to cover and Gundogan arduously makes up the yards. Bernardo picks up the pieces and goes down under a Koke challenge. 24th minute: A rare foray for the visitors as Joao Felix gets away down the left. 50th minute: Again Atletico snuff out a City corner and again they have a man extra for a counter-attack. Simeone celebrates by having a good old chirp at the ref about a De Bruyne foul on Vrsalijko. City make a hash of the corner and Griezmann looks like he's away. De Bruyne slides a cute free-kick beyond a momentarily static Atleti backline but Sterling drags wide of the far post left-footed. But a triple substitution and a hometown hero with a point to prove yielded instant dividends. Correa boots the ball at a prone Grealish right but the touchline. A melee ensues and Guardiola pulls the understandably furious England man away from his attempts at retaliation.

City make a hash of the corner and Griezmann looks like he's away. 76th minute: To circle back around to the pre-match overthink narrative, Guardiola is often criticised for - if anything - underthinking his use of the bench. De Bruyne slides a cute free-kick beyond a momentarily static Atleti backline but Sterling drags wide of the far post left-footed. Yet the way Angel Correa and others provoked Grealish during the closing stages, trying to draw City into their chaos spoke of a tie that is still very much alive. They drove Atletico back over the course of the opening 45 minutes but were unable to register a shot on target before the interval. Correa boots the ball at a prone Grealish right but the touchline.

Phil Foden picked out Kevin De Bruyne who made it 1-0 on the night for Manchester City against Atlético Madrid in their quarter-final first leg.

It is not the time for him to overthink. But, now, came Guardiola’s decisive move: Grealish, Gabriel Jesus and Foden joined the fray and the dividend was reaped. Griezmann’s last act was to be fouled by Silva as Simeone made a triple substitution – Koke and Llorente also departing as Correa, Rodrigo de Paul and Matheus Cunha entered. A delightful Koke backflick that released Félix was another warning from the Spanish champions. After De Bruyne went down in the area with Felipe in close attendance the spot-kick was, again, refused by the referee. This was underlined when, after ceding the ball, a Cancelo cross for Ilkay Gündogan, then a De Bruyne effort, threatened Jan Oblak’s goal.

It’s Manchester City v Atletico Madrid, with the winners to face either Chelsea or Real Madrid in a semi-final which, whatever the permutation, will be loaded with meaning.The first leg of the quarter-final is at the Etihad tonight, with the second at the Wanda Metropolitano next Wednesday. City are strong favourites, for reasons that would be intelligence-insulting to explain, and all things being equal they will go through. But all things weren’t equal when Atletico put Guardiola’s Bayern out in the 2015-16 semi-final, or when they eliminated a rampant Liverpool two years ago, or when Pep was too funky by far against Spurs/Lyon/Chelsea.If Atletico can get out of Manchester with at worst a one-goal deficit, they will fancy their chances next week. They’ve won seven of their last eight games, and the eighth - a draw at home to Manchester United in the last 16 - ultimately led to victory. We want to impose our game but they are a good team - champions of Spain, and they have always had good results in Europe. They’re a tough opponent.“John [Stones] will play with Aymer in the centre and Nathan [will play at left-back]. We have players on the bench who can change the game - Gabi, Phil, Jack. But I decided to start with these guys today.”Manchester City’s Phil Foden (left) and Jack Grealish head out for the warm up. “Speaking of Football Weekly,” says Matt Burtz. “I’ve been a faithful listener for many years now, and I’ve always wondered if we’ll ever get to hear your dulcet tones as a panelist. But it’s the Withering Depths of Simeone’s sh!thousing Atletico that I’m looking forward to enjoying tonight.” It won’t be the same without Hector Herrera.

They have scored so many goals at home in the recent past," the Atleti boss said. "We didn't play the way we wanted in the first half, we couldn't break out. "It is not easy to face a team with a lot of experience in this tournament. "We played an incredible top side who are difficult to face but it is a good result," he said, while praising his players for avoiding some of the potential flashpoints in the game. They played with almost five at the back and with five in midfield. If the game is tight they will have to attack a little bit more."

Foden supplied the match-winning assist 80 seconds after coming off the bench - City's Plan B is a luxury that every other club would envy as a Plan A.

There is no worse side in Europe to fall behind against, whether that’s over one leg or two. If City were complicit in that struggle, it was through failing to move the ball quicker through midfield and repeatedly wasting crosses by hitting the first or second man at barely above head height. - Felix – 6 - Mahrez – 6 It also occasionally gets vaguely unpleasant. For most of Tuesday evening, Pep Guardiola pointed and screamed like a frazzled conductor in charge of four different orchestras as Manchester City struggled to break down a comedically defensive Atletico Madrid, albeit one that did flicker on the counter attack after the break.

Manchester City overcame Atletico Madrid but Luis Suarez caused a stir with his gesture prior to kick-off.

This prompted a number of fans to take to Twitter and repeatedly publish the video. And the competition's social media channels were quick to pick up on the gesture, captioning posts: "Luis Suarez. Respect."
