Pep Guardiola called on Manchester City to keep their emotions in check at Atletico Madrid next week.
Tuesday night’s slender 1-0 victory threatened to spill over late on when substitute Jack Grealish was regularly targeted by Diego Simeone’s side.
Angel Correa was booked after kicking a ball at Grealish when the forward lay on the ground. Guardiola ran on the pitch, reportedly shouting ‘you’re mad’ at Correa.
The City boss expects similar scenarios during next Wednesday’s second leg at the Wanda Metropolitano but urged his squad not to respond to provocation.
