Kevin De Bruyne’s 13th goal of the season was enough to hand Manchester City a 1-0 advantage over Atletico Madrid during their Champions League game at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday night.

Simeone refused to shake Guardiola’s hand at the end, indicating that he is dissatisfied with his team’s performance.

Atletico never looked dangerous this evening as Foden’s through ball to De Bruyne ultimately breached their backline.

The Englishman had only been on the pitch for a minute, but he made a huge impact, and the home team deserved to win the first leg.

In the second leg, Atletico will hope to benefit from home advantage, but they will have to adjust their strategy.

Otherwise, they’ll be eliminated from the Champions League in the quarter-finals. City will be forced to play without Jesus, who has been suspended after receiving a yellow card earlier this evening.

Nonetheless, the Premier League champions will be optimistic about their chances of progressing to the semi-finals.

"We had to be focused" 💬
