We simulated Man City vs Atletico Madrid to get a score prediction for Champions League clash

Manchester City will play Atletico Madrid for the first time in their history on Tuesday evening, in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie.

After moving back to the top of the Premier League table following a 2-0 away win at Burnley on Saturday, City return to Champions League action this midweek, with the likes of John Stones, Bernardo Silva and Riyad Mahrez expected to return to the starting eleven on Tuesday despite impressive performances from Raheem Sterling, Nathan Ake and Ilkay Gundogan.

Diego Simeone's Atletico side will be without key defender Jose Maria Gimenez against City after he sustained an injury in their 4-1 win over Deportivo Alaves on Saturday, but Yannick Carrasco and Mario Hermoso are back available for selection.

Ahead of the game, we used FIFA 22 to get a score prediction for Man City vs Atletico Madrid on Tuesday, and this is what happened...

We used kick-off mode in FIFA 22, but didn't select a team to control, letting the AI control both teams. We then selected the teams and watched the match play out by itself, to give us a unique score prediction.
