Man City hold off Atletico Madrid to reach Champions League semifinals

Manchester City secured their place in the Champions League semifinals for the second consecutive season after a fiery goalless draw with Atletico Madrid at the Wanda Metropolitano on Wednesday saw them progress 1-0 on aggregate.

Kevin de Bruyne's goal at the Etihad last week proved to be decisive against an Atletico side that showed more attacking endeavor in front of their own fans but lacked a cutting edge over the two matches. Diego Simeone's increasingly frustrated side finished the match with 10 men following a second yellow card for Felipe amid a heated melee in the final minutes.
