Man City vs. Atletico Madrid updates. 20 minutes to kickoff: There's rarely such consternation over a Simeone line-up, even allowing for Cholo's fairly recent switch from his trusty compact 4 ...

50 minutes to kickoff: As is often the case with a Guardiola XI, who plays where is the big question. 1 hour 40 mins to kickoff: It's that time of year again where all eyes will be on whether Pep Guardiola has a tactical brainwave for a major Champions League game. Some of the scrutiny around Guardiola's tactical calls is a little imbalanced. Paramount+ will also stream the match. 1 hour to kickoff: So, are those "stupid tactics" to quote the man himself? The teams are going through their warm-ups amid a steady stream of Manchester drizzle. 5 minutes to kickoff: The atmosphere in here is ramping up nicely as kick-off approaches. The teamsheets are under half an hour away... As Guardiola would say - and this was kind of his very sarcastic point yesterday - we'll only really know once we see how it all shakes out. You know exactly what you’re going to get from Atletico and Simeone’s players are rigorously familiar with what their coach requires. 2nd minute - City have lined up with Cancelo at right-back, Ake and left-back and Stones and Laporte at centre-back. It was 3-2 midway through the first half, which sounds great but my fingers might fall off if anything like that goes down again.

Kevin De Bruyne gives Manchester City advantage against Atlético ... (The Guardian)

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.

Man City vs Atletico Madrid: Ratings and analysis as Foden and De ... (iNews)

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.

Manchester City vs. Atletico Madrid: Diego Simeone's plans fall flat ... (CBSSports.com)

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.
