Man City

The Belgian was replaced by Raheem Sterling after 65 minutes and was soon followed off the pitch by Kyle Walker.

City ran the gauntlet in the Wanda, experiencing the gamut of the Atletico Madrid experience. They are in the semi-finals to recount the tale. From the 20th minute until half-time, they had three-quarters of the ball and all of the control. It will forever be tempting to yearn for the old Vicente Calderon and its open grandstand that would bake in the midday sun. The Wanda Metropolitano is new and less characterful, but it also contains some of Europe’s best stadium acoustics. We cannot forget that we played three days ago in a tough game against Liverpool and then come here.

Who will reach the final? The club was trying to reach the semifinals for the first time in five years. Manchester City held hosts Atletico Madrid to a 0-0 draw Wednesday to return to the Champions League semifinals and keep alive its hopes of winning Europe's top club competition for the first time.

MADRID (AP) — In the end, it was Pep Guardiola getting the better of Diego Simeone in the battle of contrasting styles in the Champions League.

“Overall, though, we are in the semifinals and it’s deserved.” The benches had been cleared a few moments earlier as Atlético’s players appeared upset with City’s attempt to waste time. “We have to congratulate our rivals, they played a great match with the type of soccer that we are used to seeing,” Simeone said. Simeone started smiling and applauding when City resorted to time-wasting in stoppage time, though he later said he was only pushing his fans to keep supporting their team. Extra security had to be called in to keep players and officials from the two camps separate. But we are not fools, even though we may have a smaller lexicon.”

April 26/27 & May 3/4 April 26/27 & May 3/4 That could be all but in the bag by the time this tie comes around, allowing them to give Guardiola's team their full focus. Bayern were picked apart on the break and crashed to a 4-0 loss. April 26/27 & May 3/4 A 1-1 draw in Manchester followed as Sergio Aguero's penalty cancelled out Benzema's opener, but City exited at the group stage.

The Champions League semifinals are set after Liverpool, Manchester City, Real Madrid and Villarreal made it through. Our writers have their say.

He scored against Manchester City at the Etihad in the first leg of the round of 16, his first-ever start in the competition. They were a matter of seconds away from a spot in the final, until Lucas Moura broke Amsterdam hearts with that perfectly placed shot from the edge of the box to seal his hat trick put Tottenham through at the expense of Erik ten Hag's side. And I have a feeling that whoever wins the league won't win the Champions League. So for that reason: It's Liverpool's Champions League this year. Atletico are paying him a fortune, they are backing him up hugely on the transfer market and this is how they are rewarded! But it's certainly a team built in his own image, and whoever takes over would take several seasons to shift the philosophy to how they'd want the team to play. Koke & Co. showed they could play if they wanted, and they put City under pressure in the last 30 minutes of the game, but the rest of the time, they were so defensive, so anti-football that it hurt to watch them. Having taken the first leg 3-1 in Lisbon, he was able shuffle his pack for the return leg as they went through with a 3-3 draw at Anfield. The ability to rotate will prove to be absolutely essential as they are still chasing three trophies, but it also reinforced (again) what a brilliant job they've done in the recruitment department. Jurgen Klopp has built a formidable squad, and he was able to rotate for their second leg against Benfica with one eye on their FA Cup semifinal against City at the weekend. With the quality of Luka Modric and Benzema, there's always a chance. But the brawl that followed the sending off (and reignited after the final whistle) robbed the game of any momentum, allowing City to progress 1-0 on aggregate. It could have been three if Atletico Madrid had been a bit more clinical in the last 15 minutes against Manchester City at the Wanda Metropolitano, before the match descended into chaos with Felipe's red card. The other big one for me, of course, is another special moment from Karim Benzema, who scored the decisive goal that sent Real Madrid to the semifinals.
