Manchester City's vital week continues tonight as they travel to Atletico Madrid for the second leg of their Champions League quarter final.
Kevin De Bruyne's goal has given Manchester City a slender 1-0 aggregate lead going into the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie against Atletico Madrid at the Wanda Metropolitano stadium in Spain's capital. Pep Guardiola's City managed to breach Atletico's airtight defence thanks to some good combination play between Phil Foden and De Bruyne, with the Belgian netting past Jan Oblak with a cool finish. With a lot of criticism for their defensive style they employed against City in the first leg, Diego Simeone and Atletico will have a point to prove. Atletico have already knocked out Manchester United from this year's Champions League and will be hoping to reverse the score and push City to the same fate. The winner of the tie will face Real Madrid in the semi-finals.
Diego Simeone refused to be drawn into a war of words with Pep Guardiola ahead of Atletico Madrid's Champions League quarter-final second leg with Manchester City on Wednesday night.
