Three things we learned as City march to the Champions League semifinal.

City are considered to be one of the best teams in Europe, so it's only fitting that they have to defeat one of the best teams in Champions League history as they look to win their first title. In the 91st minute, Felipe took down Phil Foden to get his second yellow card and an early shower, but not before the benches cleared in a coming together from the players as they pushed and shoved each other. The clash would also rear its head in the tunnel after the match with words being exchanged and at least something being thrown which could lead to a fine from UEFA. Jack Grealish and Stefan Savic took center stage during that skirmish, as the two exchanged words which resulted in Savic yanking Grelish's hair. It was quite the difference as the first half saw City take eight shots to Atletico's one but only producing an xG of 0.61. They embody the fiery spirit of their manager and will do whatever is needed to wind up the other team and hope that they're frustrated enough to make a mistake.

It's a game with a lot of pressure and I don't really know what happened to Felipe, but it's not pleasant." I was with the players, applauding the fans," Simeone said in his postmatch news conference. I think it was bad for them because they were in their best moment in the game." "But those of us who maybe have a smaller vocabulary, we're not so stupid. "People came on from the bench, there are a lot of nerves, it's normal that there's pushing and some bad words said. "The game can make you mad like that, when you're putting them under pressure and creating chances, and they're going down, wasting time," Atletico captain Koke said, when asked about the red card and the fracas that followed.

We've had our chances, we haven't taken advantage of them and congratulations to the rival, but Atleti deserved more." "We were tired in the second half because of the calendar, we had a very intense match on the weekend with Liverpool and we were out of legs in the end." The visitor was patient, slowing down the pace of the game and running down the clock to the displeasure of Atletico manager Diego Simeone and the vociferous crowd at Metropolitano stadium.

Premier League leaders Manchester City have a one-goal lead to take to Spain for the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final tie with Atletico ...

Just to reiterate a draw or a City win and it is Guardiola's side through to face Real Madrid in the semi-finals. Simeone will hope Felix and Antoine Griezmann can step up on Wednesday as goals have not been easy for Atletico to come by in the Champions League on home turf this season. But that might be easier said than done as City are yet to concede a goal in the knockout stages of the competition. A draw or a defeat and it is City who prevail. 75 minutes to KO: We have the Atletico team for tonight. Kick off: We are under way at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium and the noise is raucous to say the least. 13 minutes: Atletico's physicality was a talking point in the first leg and it has not taken long to rear its head again here. They have their best attack in a while as Llorente finds space on the edge of the area and his lay off tees up Geoffrey Kondogbia whose low effort is easily saved by Ederson. The first goal tonight is becoming more and more critical to defining where this tie will develop. 78 minutes: Fernandinho is on to help try and see City through what has proved to be a tough second half so far. It is a shame that the melee and chaos in the final stages will be what this quarter-final second leg is probably remembered for. He actually won the ball on the challenge with Foden but left a foot in on him afterwards.

Enjoy bite-sized action from City's Champions League quarter-final second leg away to Atletico Madrid.

Ilkay Gundogan hit the post with a fine first half shot but it was City's defence that stood tall after the break. City secured our place in the semi-finals of the Champions League for a second successive season thanks to a hard-fought goalless draw away to the Spanish champions. Pep Guardiola's side stood firm in the face of fierce Atletico second half pressure to claim a 1-0 aggregate win.

The fallout from Manchester City's Champions League win over Atletico Madrid continues, with more reaction from Pep Guardiola's 'prehistory' comments.

In particular, Atletico were riled by a throwaway pre-match comment from Pep Guardiola about 'prehistory' and now their president has accused the City manager of being more negative than his side in the second leg. "In the sporting and human aspect, Simeone cannot be criticized. They were more adventurous in the second leg, but City stood firm and progressed to the semi-finals.

some of the stuff towards the end was not what you want to see on a football pitch." "It was a difficult night all round and how we defended and controlled ourselves over the two legs was incredible. "I know you will laugh at me when I say it, I'm the biggest critic of the referees - I think it was unrefereeable if there's such a word in the last 20 minutes - I thought he did brilliant me." And former England international Owen Hargreaves said: That, at the end, from Atletico Madrid was a disgrace. Just seconds later, however, the rest of the players appeared and a brawl kicked off when Atletico defender Sime Vrsaljko launched what appeared to be a pair of goalkeeping gloves at the City players. He appears to call the defender a "c***". Savic reacts immediately, pulling Grealish's hair. Joao Cancelo appeared to foul Angel Correa in the box, yet the incident wasn't referred to VAR and nothing came of it. And it's fair to say Atletico aggravated City. Grealish was targeted by the Spanish champions, pulling his famous locks to get a reaction from the £100million man. The Englishman was left with a bloody head, while Felipe received a yellow card. Some love their commitment to the cause, while others label them a "disgrace". Atletico often push their rivals to the limit with an array of questionable tackles, cheeky digs and extreme theatricals. City progressed thanks to a 1-0 aggregate win and will play Atletico's local rivals Real Madrid in the last four.

Manchester City and Atletico Madrid players clashed in the tunnel at the Wanda Metropolitano after their Champions League clash.

Also on the footage is Kevin De Bruyne, who followed after the commotion moved away and appeared to be limping after his substitution. Police can then be seen jogging down the tunnel to the players. However, as Vrsaljko then looks to get involved, it appears a member of City's backroom staff and Kyle Walker then give him a little push, sparking more shoving between both sides.

UEFA says it is awaiting reports before deciding whether to act after Atletico Madrid and Man City players clashed on and off the field in Champions League ...

I'm proud of everyone and the fans, who have lost, stayed to applaud us after the game. What a bunch of animals." He's feeling it after the game now." I stayed on the pitch applauding the fans and saying hi to everyone on the pitch. Simeone also denied witnessing any of the scenes in the tunnel, saying: "I didn't see it. "In the build up we were focused a lot on the styles. "I can't remember being at a game where there were that many players involved in such a melee, and it was physical. "It all kicked off again in the tunnel. So a lot for UEFA to mull over." I think it did just get to the point where Atletico's frustration really boiled over. Sime Vrsaljko, who was an unused Atletico substitute, was seen throwing a bottle in the direction of Aymeric Laporte, while police reportedly rushed in to calm the scene.

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.

The Merseyside club are preparing for a trip to Wembley on Saturday to face Manchester City.

"That would be nice, could be a surprise if all of a sudden we are good. City escaped with a 0-0 draw on the night to advance 1-0 on aggregate. I haven't seen the complete City game yet but I'll watch this afternoon."
