Man City vs atlético Madrid

Manchester City hope to keep their Champions League dream alive when they meet Atletico Madrid in the first leg of the quarter-finals on Tuesday.

Backing this game to have over 2.5 goals at 4/5 (1.8) looks like a smart bet. Despite their excellent results, Diego Simeone's team are still 12 points adrift of Real Madrid in La Liga and are unlikely to close the gap in the last eight matches of the season. Their lead at the top of the Premier League has been reduced to just one point in recent weeks, while they have been handed a tough tie in the Champions League. Atletico are the outsiders to win at the Etihad Stadium at 15/2 (8.5). Gabriel Jesus, Kevin De Bruyne, Phil Foden, Raheem Sterling and Riyad Mahrez are all priced at 5/1 (6.0) to get the first goal of the game. Manchester City are the favourites to win the first leg at odds of 1/3 (1.33) with bet365.

Follow all the action as Pep Guardiola's side host Diego Simeone's LaLiga champions in the last eight.

City topped their group in the earlier round, while Atletico were runners-up in theirs. At the weekend they warmed up for the tie with a routine victory over Burnley, while the Spanish side hammered Alaves to make it six straight wins in all competitions. Both Guardiola and opposite number Diego Simeone have faced heartache in the final of this competition with their current clubs, but City remain the favourites to go the distance this time - even if this will be a huge test for the Cityzens in the last eight.

It’s Manchester City v Atletico Madrid, with the winners to face either Chelsea or Real Madrid in a semi-final which, whatever the permutation, will be loaded with meaning.The first leg of the quarter-final is at the Etihad tonight, with the second at the Wanda Metropolitano next Wednesday. City are strong favourites, for reasons that would be intelligence-insulting to explain, and all things being equal they will go through. But all things weren’t equal when Atletico put Guardiola’s Bayern out in the 2015-16 semi-final, or when they eliminated a rampant Liverpool two years ago, or when Pep was too funky by far against Spurs/Lyon/Chelsea.If Atletico can get out of Manchester with at worst a one-goal deficit, they will fancy their chances next week. They’ve won seven of their last eight games, and the eighth - a draw at home to Manchester United in the last 16 - ultimately led to victory. We want to impose our game but they are a good team - champions of Spain, and they have always had good results in Europe. They’re a tough opponent.“John [Stones] will play with Aymer in the centre and Nathan [will play at left-back]. We have players on the bench who can change the game - Gabi, Phil, Jack. But I decided to start with these guys today.”Manchester City’s Phil Foden (left) and Jack Grealish head out for the warm up. “Speaking of Football Weekly,” says Matt Burtz. “I’ve been a faithful listener for many years now, and I’ve always wondered if we’ll ever get to hear your dulcet tones as a panelist. But it’s the Withering Depths of Simeone’s sh!thousing Atletico that I’m looking forward to enjoying tonight.” It won’t be the same without Hector Herrera.

Betis 1-3 Atletico (Mar 6) Man City 4-1 Man Utd (Mar 6) Man City 0-0 Sporting (Mar 9)

Can Pep Guardiola curb his overthinking to advance in his quest for an ever elusive Man City Champions League tile.

Manchester City: While City has close to a clean bill of health, Kyle Walker is suspended for the tie while Ruben Dias is still injured. This tournament has been a team effort for Atletico Madrid as they've struggled to score while being their typical stingy defensive selves, scoring and conceding nine goals in the competition thus far. In contrast to a Diego Simeone side that you typically know what you get, Guardiola needs to ensure that his team doesn't tactically self-sabotage as home favorites.

The Reds face Benfica in their opener while City host Atletico Madrid. On Wednesday, it will be Chelsea hosting Real Madrid in a rematch of last season's ...

Man of the Match pick: Robert Lewandowski. His European record is just unbelievable. While it will be a tight affair, Benzema will pull Real Madrid across the line in victory. While I see Chelsea scoring in the match, he'll keep Real in a match that they likely shouldn't walk away with a victory from. Benzema also has a chance at the golden boot if Real Madrid are to advance in the competition sitting on eight goals in the competition. Most likely to score a goal: Karim Benzema. Although it's an away match, I find it hard to bet against Benzema performing on the big stage, especially after his hat trick with everything on the line against a star-studded PSG side. It's hard to look at this matchup and come away with the expectation that anyone will have a larger say in how things will go than Benzema. With eight goals already in Champions League play, Benzema has been instrumental in Real's performance. Heavy City possession leads to a ton of chances, but a lone goal is enough as they combat Atleti's pressure with crisp passing. If they can keep the ball on the ground and be smart in their distribution, they can limit the chances and get a key clean sheet. The Uruguayan is a tank at the back, but he will have to be super cautious when going up against a tricky and speedy Foden, knowing that one wrong challenge can dig a huge hole. Man of the Match pick: Thiago Alcantara has the technical ability to dominate and dictate this sort of contest and he will be one of the main dangers Benfica seek to neutralize. Given that the Egyptian is under a little scrutiny of late, this could be the sort of game where he makes the difference as a reminder of his quality. Adding to the stakes is the fact that Otamendi is a booking away from second-leg suspension so will be walking a tightrope from the off.

On Tuesday, Atletico Madrid and Manchester City begin their 2022 UEFA Champions League quarterfinal series, as both sides look to make a return in the pursuit of their first UCL title. Manchester City is looking to return to the final after a disappointing loss to English Premier League rival Chelsea last year.

The Atletico man pokes it straight at Ederson when he really should have scored. Gundogan is the last man and slightly pulls him back but doesn’t want to fully do it. 54 mins: Reinildo lunges in on Mahrez - gets some of the ball but more of the man. They make a mess of it and all of a sudden Griezmann is breaking free. In between the two legs against Atletico is a pivotal Premier League clash against Liverpool this weekend. That could decide where the title goes, and the two sides then meet again on April 16 at Wembley in the FA Cup semi-finals. De Bruyne goes to the keeper’s side... Having knocked out Manchester United in the last round, they will have good memories returning to England tonight against Guardiola’s side. Oblak fumbles and kicks it away as he does. The Frenchman doesn’t have the necessary pace though, looks for the pass and it flies out of play. And again the home side completely waste it and allow Atletico to break. It could be a historic end to the season for City, but match of that will be shaped by what happens over the next two weeks.

Manchester City host Atletico Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final. It is only the fourth time Pep Guardiola and Diego Simeone ...

50 minutes to kickoff: As is often the case with a Guardiola XI, who plays where is the big question. But there's a lot of ground to cover and Gundogan arduously makes up the yards. He sees the England winger off to concede a corner and again there's no dice for City. Bernardo picks up the pieces and goes down under a Koke challenge. 24th minute: A rare foray for the visitors as Joao Felix gets away down the left. 50th minute: Again Atletico snuff out a City corner and again they have a man extra for a counter-attack. City make a hash of the corner and Griezmann looks like he's away. 76th minute: To circle back around to the pre-match overthink narrative, Guardiola is often criticised for - if anything - underthinking his use of the bench. De Bruyne slides a cute free-kick beyond a momentarily static Atleti backline but Sterling drags wide of the far post left-footed. Yet the way Angel Correa and others provoked Grealish during the closing stages, trying to draw City into their chaos spoke of a tie that is still very much alive. They drove Atletico back over the course of the opening 45 minutes but were unable to register a shot on target before the interval. Correa boots the ball at a prone Grealish right but the touchline.

Manchester City host Atletico Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League quarter final at the Etihad Stadium.

Second half we ad a couple of chances and we took one. We have to recover and get ready for Sunday." We played well and that's the only thing we can do today. "It's the way they play, it's their style. We will go there to score and try to win. A tough opponent and we decide in Madrid. City play using possession as a strength but we were clear headed all night, we closed space down and I don't think it was specifically their substitutions that changed the game – just that one moment. Grealish drew a yellow card from Rodrigo De Paul after Atletico had managed to tread a fine line between the foul and the fair - and his ability to win free-kicks gave the visitors a taste of their own gamesmanship. "We know against teams like City who play a good game with lots of possession, they have quality players, we can't press them high for 90 minutes because we will suffer. Atletico were stubborn from the start, restricting City to few openings and frustrating the Blues who dominated throughout without getting a clear sight of goal. 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. "They might be the best side in the world.

Manchester City host Atletico Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final. It is only the fourth time Pep Guardiola and Diego Simeone ...

But there's a lot of ground to cover and Gundogan arduously makes up the yards. Bernardo picks up the pieces and goes down under a Koke challenge. 24th minute: A rare foray for the visitors as Joao Felix gets away down the left. 50th minute: Again Atletico snuff out a City corner and again they have a man extra for a counter-attack. Simeone celebrates by having a good old chirp at the ref about a De Bruyne foul on Vrsalijko. City make a hash of the corner and Griezmann looks like he's away. De Bruyne slides a cute free-kick beyond a momentarily static Atleti backline but Sterling drags wide of the far post left-footed. But a triple substitution and a hometown hero with a point to prove yielded instant dividends. Correa boots the ball at a prone Grealish right but the touchline. A melee ensues and Guardiola pulls the understandably furious England man away from his attempts at retaliation.

Man City continued to pressure the Atleti defence early in the second half, with Ilkay Gundogan thwarted at the doorstep right after the break and Jan Oblak called into action to parry away De Bruyne's goal-bound free kick minutes later. Pep Guardiola ...

They have scored so many goals at home in the recent past," the Atleti boss said. "We didn't play the way we wanted in the first half, we couldn't break out. "It is not easy to face a team with a lot of experience in this tournament. "We played an incredible top side who are difficult to face but it is a good result," he said, while praising his players for avoiding some of the potential flashpoints in the game. They played with almost five at the back and with five in midfield. If the game is tight they will have to attack a little bit more."

Everything you need to know ahead of the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final.

City topped their group in the earlier round, while Atletico were runners-up in theirs. At the weekend they warmed up for the tie with a routine victory over Burnley, while the Spanish side hammered Alaves to make it six straight wins in all competitions. Both Guardiola and opposite number Diego Simeone have faced heartache in the final of this competition with their current clubs, but City remain the favourites to go the distance this time - even if this will be a huge test for the Cityzens in the last eight.

Foden supplied the match-winning assist 80 seconds after coming off the bench - City's Plan B is a luxury that every other club would envy as a Plan A.

There is no worse side in Europe to fall behind against, whether that’s over one leg or two. If City were complicit in that struggle, it was through failing to move the ball quicker through midfield and repeatedly wasting crosses by hitting the first or second man at barely above head height. - Felix – 6 - Mahrez – 6 It also occasionally gets vaguely unpleasant. For most of Tuesday evening, Pep Guardiola pointed and screamed like a frazzled conductor in charge of four different orchestras as Manchester City struggled to break down a comedically defensive Atletico Madrid, albeit one that did flicker on the counter attack after the break.

The first legs of the Champions League quarter-finals get underway this week, with Liverpool travelling to face Benfica and Manchester City hosting Atletico ...

City are obviously desperate to win this competition and all things considered, this should be a decent draw for them. This should be routine for Liverpool though, they’ve had a lot of joy in Portugal in the last couple of years and beat Porto 5-1 earlier this season. He told BetVictor : “This should be a good tie for Liverpool. Benfica are a decent side, and that was a brilliant result for them in the last round, knocking out Ajax. They’ve got experience at the back in Vertonghen and Otamendi and striker Darwin Nunez looks a threat.

Simeone has used these tactics to infuriate Pep Guardiola in the past, knocking Bayern Munich out at the Champions League semifinals six years ago, but ...

Atletico, meanwhile, fell into bad habits, subjecting Grealish to the most rough house of treatment in the closing stages. He did it with a quick dart and a slide rule pass, unleashing Kevin De Bruyne in behind to fizz a shot across Jan Oblak, firing the hosts into the lead in the tie. If they do, they will be lucky to escape with the same score as Tuesday night. If there was a brief moment where it seemed City's neuroses in this competition might get the better of them, it faded into insignificance set against those lengthy spells where it was apparent, Atleti could not just sit back and wait for something to happen. One could sense how tired Atletico were in their flurry of counter attacks early in the first half. The levee was only going to hold for so long. Better to have Bernardo Silva coming to the ball as a true false nine. "It was a very tactical game and each of us tried to impose our own game in this one." There is a tendency to look for higher meaning in such boring fare. He may well need favors from a City side that looked firmly in the groove tonight even if it never hit top gear. La Liga's reigning champions were lucky to escape the Etihad Stadium trailing only to Kevin De Bruyne's 70th minute goal after a game in which they had offered next to nothing beyond the small area in front of their box. In the end it did not.

Diego Simeone was full of praise for Manchester City after seeing his Atletico Madrid side beaten in the Champions League quarter final first leg.

But we were both seeking the same thing, winning." We wanted to defend well, squeeze spaces and hit them on the counterattack. City had all of the possession against the Spanish champions, but struggled to create a clear opening until Phil Foden came off the bench and immediately fed Kevin De Bruyne to give them a 1-0 advantage going into the second leg.

Manchester City welcome La Liga champions Atletico Madrid to the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday night for the first of their two-legged UEFA Champions League ...

Prior to kick-off at the Etihad Stadium, Pep Guardiola and Diego Simeone have confirmed their respective starting XI's to go head-to-head in some Champions League action under the lights! With Chelsea or Real Madrid awaiting the winner of Manchester City vs Atletico Madrid in the semi-final, it is set to be a fiercely contested tie over the course of two-legs, with the return leg at the Wanda Metropolitano scheduled for next week. However, attentions now quickly turn to the Champions League, and the quarter-final stage with Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid side in town on Tuesday night to try and cause another upset in the competition.

Phil Foden picked out Kevin De Bruyne who made it 1-0 on the night for Manchester City against Atlético Madrid in their quarter-final first leg.

It is not the time for him to overthink. But, now, came Guardiola’s decisive move: Grealish, Gabriel Jesus and Foden joined the fray and the dividend was reaped. Griezmann’s last act was to be fouled by Silva as Simeone made a triple substitution – Koke and Llorente also departing as Correa, Rodrigo de Paul and Matheus Cunha entered. A delightful Koke backflick that released Félix was another warning from the Spanish champions. After De Bruyne went down in the area with Felipe in close attendance the spot-kick was, again, refused by the referee. This was underlined when, after ceding the ball, a Cancelo cross for Ilkay Gündogan, then a De Bruyne effort, threatened Jan Oblak’s goal.

Atletico Madrid trail Manchester City 1-0 after the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final at the Etihad.

City play using possession as a strength but we were clear-headed all night, we closed space down and I don't think it was specifically their substitutions that changed the game – just that one moment." We came looking for a good result, we lost but at 1-0 down the tie is still very much all to play for," he said. "We all knew that this would be a complicated experience.
