Match study: Atletico Madrid 0-0 Man City (agg: 0-1)
Champions League: City advanced to the semi-finals despite being outplayed in the second half of a largely turgid run across that was hugely enhanced by a mass ball and flurry of cards on 90 minutes. David Hytner reports from the Wanda Metropolitano ...
Pep Guardiola speaks ...
The Manchester City refuses point-bare to be drawn on the brawl around the 90-minute marking and deflects BT Sport's questions about Atletico perhaps targetting Phil Foden.
Of the game itself, he had this to say. "They're the champions of Spain and an unbelievable oversupply and energy. And the second half they were ameliorate than united states. The first-one-half we had the chances to do information technology only overall we are in the semi-finals. It's well deserved over the two games.
On his casualties: "We are in big trouble [with injuries]," he says. "Nosotros can't forget that we played 3 days ago. To play Liverpool, travel, come up hither. I don't know what volition happen in the adjacent few weeks. Today we will celebrate because it's only the third time City have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League."
Anatomy of a brawl
- i) Felipe slides in to dispossess Foden, (mayhap deliberately) mistiming his tackle completely.
- two) He throws a little kick Foden's style as a little bonus.
- 3) Having been kicked off the pitch, Foden rolls back on to it in gild to scream in agony so the ref will have to stop play and permit the physio on.
- four) Stefan Savic steams in and tries to drag Foden to his feet.
- five) Contrasted plasyers, substitutes and backroom staff go involved prompting mass handbags.
- half dozen) Savic gets all upwards in Raheem Sterling'south grill, butting him slightly.
- seven) Jack Grealish, an unuused substitute, calls Savic the c-word.
- eight) Savic pulls Grealish's hair.
- 9) Felipe gets sent off and goes admittedly ballistic.
- 10) Felipe is dragged away towards the tunnel by a fellow member of Atletico'due south backroom staff.
- 11) Savic is booked.
- 12) Nathan Ake is booked and I recollect that about covers it.
Confirmation: Stefan Savic pulled Jack Grealish's pilus. Ha!
Well. That was a tremendously fun ending to an otherwise fairly turgid see. Atletico Madird completely lost their heads but nigh managed to nick an equaliser at the finish. We've had eleven yellow cards shown in total, with seven of them (and a reddish) beingness brandished by Daniel Siebert later the 90th minute.
BT Sport report: Commentator Darren Fletcher is reporting a tunnel bosom-up betwixt Stefan Savic and Jack Grealish. He believes several members of the local police force may be involved.
Full time: Atletico Madrid 0-0 Manchester Metropolis (agg: 0-1)
Peep! Peep! Peeeeeeeeeeeep! It'southward all over at the Wanda Metropolitano, where Manchester City have avant-garde to the semi-finals of the Champions League. Their players celebrate with a large grouping hug before going to applaud their fans.
90+12 min: Ake does well to hook a dropping ball aweay from Suarez in the City penalty area and then Ederson saves from Correa. Wow!
90+9 min: The ball is whipped in towards the City goal but Ederson punches articulate and goes downward hurt. He'll live. On the touchline, Simeone is applauding the Atletico fans.
He pauses to march on to the pitch and give his own histrion, Stefan Savic a massive bollocking, furiously telling him to calm downward and get on with the game. Once more, I cannot stress plenty how much fun this is. Phil Foden is paroxysms of mirth laughing at Simeone ... who too gets booked.
90+8 min: Joao Cancelo gets booked for a mistimed tackle right on the left-mitt side of the City penalty area. Gratuitous-kicking for Atletico in a very dangerous area.
90+vii min: Phil Foden gets a yellowish card to become with his bluish bandage.
ninety+7 min: Sterling plays in Gundogan, who looks certain to score only Oblak gets down to salve brilliantly.
90+six min: Yes, six ... of nine recommended minutes of added time.
ninety+3 min: I recall Cunha'due south just been booked for a foul on Fernandinho but can't exist certain. And what's this? Now Riyad Mahrez goes in the volume for time-wasting.
90 min: Felipe has completely lost the plot subsequently being sent off and has to be dragged abroad by one of Atletico'south backroom staff. He storms off down the tunnel with a massive funk on. This is tremendous fun.
89 min: Phil Foden is tackled past Felipe and goes down injure on the touchline. Stefan Savic sprints over to try to drag him to his anxiety. A mass melee ensues involving several players and backroom staff from both teams.
Savic appears to have stuck the nut on somebody only gets away with a yellow menu. Nathan Ake gets booked too, while Felipe gets a second yellow for the original foul on Phil Foden. These are the kind of scenes we all honey to see but are obliged to pretend we don't.
87 min: John Stones blocks brilliantly from a Cunha shot subsequently the player had picked upward a Correa knockdown. It was Atletico'south all-time chance of the game so far.
86 min: Going back to that Correa penalty appeal - I can't believe information technology wasn't given. Rodri had a fistful of the players shirt and was pulling him back, while Joao Cancelo brought him down. Video assistant referee Marco Fritz might have been asleep at his mail.
84 min: City are laying siege to the Atletico punishment area, which is not an expanse of the pitch the hosts desire to be penned into equally the clock ticks down.
81 min: A Mahrez free-kick is curled into the Atletico penalty surface area and cleared. Atletico double-commutation: Luis Suarez and Matheus Cunha on for Thomas Lemar and Joao Felix.
79 min: Manchester City exchange: Fernadinho on for Bernardo Silva.
77 min: Correa goes down in the Metropolis penalization area and appeals for a penalty while the ball pings towards Carrasco on the left side of the area. No spot-boot is forthcoming, despite Correa appearing to have been fouled by both Joao Cancelo, who tripped him and Rodri, who had a good handful of his shirt. A let-off for City.
75 min: Angel Correa gives Sterling the skid and plays the ball wide to Carrasco. His cross is blocked, then Reinildo sends in some other that is cleared by Stones.
73 min: Kyle Walker goes to footing again and signals to the bench that he is unable to proceed, prompting more whistles and jeers from the crowd. He'due south replaced by Nathan Ake. He goes in at left-back, with Joao Cancelo moving to right-back.
71 min: That Atletico triple substitution: Rodrigo De Paul, Angel Correa and Yannick Carrasco on for Lodi, Koke and Griezmann.
70 min: Rodrigo De Paul, just on as part of an Atletico triple-substitution (more of which anon), shoots wide of the upright. Walker is back on the pitch put moving very gingerly.
68 min: Walker is still receiving treatment as the Atletico fans jeer him and Simeone gesticulates furiously on the touchline.
67 min: Kyle Walker intercepts a Lodi header out by the touchline and then goes down injured after the pair become to footing in a heap. He looks in quite a bit of distress after what seemed a fairly innocuous coming together.
65 min: Manchester City substitution: Raheem Sterling replaces Kevin De Bruyne, who's been struggling to get fourth dimension on the ball.
64 min: Bernardo Silva robs Kondogbia of the ball almost 20 yards exterior the Atletico penalty area and looks to have a run on goal but he's penalised for a foul.
62 min: Nevertheless lacking that killer pass, Atletico contine to dominate for this second half spell. Antoine Griezmann goes down in the inside-right channel looking for a free-kick only doesn't go one.
59 min: Manchester Urban center are starting to look a little nervy every bit Atletico get together momentum with their raucous crowd getting behind them in fine voice.
56 min: Atletico are currently in the ascendency but lacking that bit of finesse and cutting edge. The final ball, as they say. They go shut once again when Griezmann shoots narrowly wide of the upright later connecting with a ball bouncing his mode just exterior the City punishment area.
55 min: Ederson clears a Koke ball over the top only only as far every bit Renan Lodi. He crosses towards Joao Felix, who stretches every sinew just tin't connect. He was offside again.
53 min: Felipe kicks a clearance confronting his squad-mate Reinildo and the brawl rolls backwards, hits the corner flag and stays in play. Felipe puts information technology out for a goal-kick off Mahrez.
50 min: Geoffrey Kondogbia wins a gratuitous-boot deep within his ain half afterwards being bodychecked past Bernardo Silva.
47 min: Koke tries to pick out Joao Feliz with a ball in behind through the centre. It'due south intercepted but the striker was several metres offside anyway.
48 min: Much similar the first half, Atletico have ramped up the assailment for the opening minutes of the second. Kyle Walker sticks out a leg to take the ball off Griezmann and send it downfield.
47 min: Antoine Griezmann cuts in from the correct and shoots into the side-netting nether pressure from Laporte. Corner. Nothing comes of it although Felipe made a decent fist of hurling himself at the brawl equally it came in.
Second half: Manchester City 0-0 Atletico Madrid (agg: 0-one)
46 min: Play resumes with no changes of personnel on either side ... even so. There has been one small-scale change in then far as Phil Foden is now sporting a blue bandage.
An email: "Foden has been a shadow of himself since the aeriform claiming," writes Eamonn. "You lot can run across Atletico players are bullying him. Won't exist surprised to see him hooked."
He's not incorrect. Whether he's feeling intimidated or suffering the ill furnishings of that bang on his head early doors, Foden has been a very peripheral figure, admitting one that sticks out like a sore thumb (or indeed a sore Phil Foden) with that biscuit bandage wrapped around his caput.
Half-time: Atletico Madrid 0-0 Manchester Metropolis (agg: 0-1)
Peep: Something of an ordeal for anyone who had to play in it or watch it, the beginning half draws to a merciful stop. Manchester City hit the post once but were otherwise kept at arm's length and non much else happened. Both managers will be pleased.
44 min: Atletico's players surround the referee looking for a yellow card for John Stones afterward he'd fouled Joao Felix. In the BT Sport commentary box, Darren Fletcher and Glenn Hoddle are clutching their pearls and swooning like a pair of Victorian ladies at the sight of this outrageous shithousery that you just don't see calendar week in and week out in the Premier League.
42 min: This is more similar the Atletico we were expecting - dogged, stout defence and the occasional long ball forwards ... but mainly dogged, stout defence. It remains scoreless on the night just City lead 1-0 on aggregate.
xl min: Kyle Walker gets the better of Lodi down the right, cuts inside and tries a shot. Reinildo blocks.
37 min: City continue to dominate having weathered their hosts' early storm but are creating little in the way of chances. Cancelo cuts in from the left and tries to ringlet ane goalwards from exterior the penalty area just sends his shot loftier and wide of the superlative corner he was aiming for.
34 min: The ball's played wide to Lodi on the left and he cuts inside before offloading to Lemar. A promising motion ends with Ederson getting downwardly to claim a deflected Geoffrey Kondogbia shot from distance that appeared to be skidding broad.
32 min: Having hit the mail with that effort, the ball rebounded to Gundogan, who tried to head it back past Oblak. He succeeds only in heading it straight into Felipe'southward face up, a state of affairs from which he will almost certainly take some minor consolation.
