Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone has hinted at how his side will approach the second leg of their Champions League quarter final clash against Manchester City on Wednesday.
City won the first leg 1-0 last week thanks to Kevin De Bruyne's second-half strike, so they have the slight edge heading into Wednesday night’s finale at the Wanda Metropolitano. Pep Guardiola’s side then had another draining match at the weekend, with his side playing out a pulsating 2-2 draw against Premier League title rivals Liverpool.
City playmaker De Bruyne gave the hosts an early lead thanks to a deflected effort that cannoned in off the post but their lead lasted less than 10 minutes after Diogo Jota's strike squirmed under Ederson to swiftly give the Reds – who had started slower – parity. Gabriel Jesus – back in Pep Guardiola’s side’s starting XI in the Premier League for the first time since New Year’s Day - restored City's side lead in the 37th minute.
