Pep Guardiola had his joke about his “stupid” tactics in Europe this week - but it was a good old-fashioned triple substitution that gave Manchester City the edge in their Champions League quarter-final. Against an Atletico Madrid side who, predictably, combined defensive solidity with extreme gamesmanship, physicality and time-wasting skulduggery, it was Phil Foden who stepped off the bench to make the difference and provide Kevin De Bruyne with the only goal.
Diego Simeone says Manchester City are the best team in the world and suggested Pep Guardiola caught him off guard with the tactic that ultimately cost Atletico Madrid the game.
