John Stones admits Manchester City expected Atletico Madrid's antics as his side stayed cool to reach the Champions League quarter-final.
City drew 0-0 at the Wanda Metropolitano to progress 1-0 on aggregate, with Atletico ending the second leg with ten men in a hot-tempered ending to the tie. After Felipe kicked out at Phil Foden, Stefan Savic steamed in to spark a melee, while he was involved in a post-match argument with Jack Grealish in the tunnel. Marcos Llorente also appeared to be arguing with Aymeric Laporte as both sets of players and staff came together again.
There were eight yellow cards, including Felipe's two, and more punishments may follow for the post-match scenes. Such provocation was expected, though, according to Stones, who praised City's temper and control in the hostile atmosphere.
