Manchester City host Atletico Madrid tonight in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals. While City will go into the tie as favourites, few relish the underdog tag quite like coach Diego Simeone.
LONDON: Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola on Monday refused to be drawn into a "stupid" debate on tactics ahead of his side's Champions League quarter-final first leg at home to Atletico Madrid.
In late February 2012, Pep Guardiola’s Barcelona went to the old Calderon Stadium in Madrid to give a lesson in possession football. Their hosts, Atletico Madrid, had a relatively new manager in Diego Simeone, but already a defined, and effective style under him.
Diego Simeone conceded on Monday that Manchester City have "better" players than Atletico Madrid but said Chelsea's Champions League success last year shows his team can still reach the semi-finals.

Diego Simeone feels Atletico Madrid will have to step up a level from their victory over Manchester United when they face Manchester City in the Champions League.
Pep Guardiola is still dealing with a few issues across the defensive line, with Ruben Dias and Kyle Walker both unavailable for Tuesday’s Champions League quarter-final clash with Atletico Madrid.
The Champions League continues this week and there are three English teams in action as Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool all bid to reach the semi-finals.
