Manchester City beat Atletico Madrid courtesy of a solitary goal in the first leg of its quarter-final tie. The game was less appealing due to its lack of clear cut opportunity and the Spanish team’s ultra-defensive approach. All said and done, the tie is not over yet, with Atletico Madrid boasting of some good attacking players and playing in front of a capacity crowd at the Wanda Metropolitano stadium. Atletico’s loss at the hands of Mallorca in the build-up to this contest must have been a setback for the morale of the squad but Diego Simeone has been around for a while and will get his team fired up. Pep Guardiola and his City team drew 2-2 against Liverpool at the weekend and will be eager to book their place in yet another Champions League semi-final. Champions League 2021–2022: Real Madrid Qualify for the Semifinals, Resisting Brave Chelsea Fightback.

Antoine Griezmann will partner Joao Felix in the attacking third with the home team deploying a 3-5-2 formation. Rodrigo de Paul and Koke in midfield were doing the defensive work at Etihad but now must find way to push up and join the attack. The home team has been poor in maintaining possession and this is where Geoffrey Kondogbia needs to be up his game.

Aymeric Laporte and John Stones are set to form central defensive partnership for the visitors with Ruben Dias out injured. Ilkay Gundogan has lost his place in the first choice starting eleven this season. The German midfielder should get his opportunity in place of Bernardo Silva and will have Kevin de Bruyne and Rodri for company in midfield.
