Man City survived a bruising encounter with Atletico to reach the Champions League semi-finals 

The winner of the first leg at home, Manchester City managed to qualify and snatch their ticket to the semi-finals after an exciting match at Wanda Metropolitano (0-0) in the second leg of the competition's quarter-finals. Kevin De Bruyne struck in the second half as Manchester City finally broke down a stubborn Atlético to claim a narrow lead in the first leg of their quarter-final. Kevin De Bruyne scored the only goal to give Manchester City a slender first-leg win against a typically stubborn Atlético side in the UEFA Champions League quarter-final between the champions of England and Spain. The two teams exchanged control over the course of the game during the two halves of the match, as City dominated possession in the first half – with 70% of the ball – but neither side registered an effort on target in the opening period.
The home team had more clear chances after the break, De Bruyne's free-kick stopped by Jan Oblak, who then cleared the loose ball with Rodri closing in, before Aymeric Laporte headed over from a corner. Both sides made a triple substitution and City's had an instant impact as one of the replacements, Phil Foden, immediately played in De Bruyne for the opener.
Man City goalkeeper Blancos Oblak prevented Ilkay Gundogan from scoring his first goal after he blocked his shot in the 30th minute of the match. The last minutes witnessed bother-cum- tension after Louis Felipe interfered with Manchester City's Foden, to be sent off after receiving the second yellow card. Manchester City will face 13-time European champions Real Madrid in their semi-final, , after beating Chelsea 5-4 in the total of the two legs ,as the second leg in Madrid to take place on May 3 or 4.
