Manchester City to tow discipline line vs Atletico

Pep Guardiola knows all too well the antics Atletico Madrid will try in tonight’s Champions League quarter-final second leg against Manchester City. He witnessed them during his time as Barcelona boss and saw them again when Angel Correa smashed the ball into Jack Grealish ’s face in last week's first leg.

The Catalan boss will insist on his players keeping a cool head during the game with a rash moment potentially leading to a suspension for the semi-finals, should City progress. Kevin De Bruyne and Joao Cancelo are a yellow card away from that, two players who would be sorely missed.

City to offload at least two players this summer

The Premier League champions are set to allow two players to leave the Etihad this summer, aside from Fernandinho. The Brazilian told a press conference ahead of Atletico that he is planning to move back to homeland Brazil at the end of the season.

This was not priorly known to his boss, who was taken aback by the revelation. But he will certainly be in the know about two other players who are set to depart Manchester.

One of them is Taylor Harwood-Bellis who is enjoying a loan spell at Stoke after spending the first half of the season at Vincent Kompany ’s Anderlecht. Another player is hoped to be sold for around £20m this summer.
