Manchester City fans were singing the praises of Phil Foden once again after he made an instant impact in their Champions League quarter-final.
City found themselves being left frustrated in their attempts to break down a stubborn Atletico Madrid side in the first leg of their last-eight meeting at the Etihad. With just over 20 minutes remaining, the deadlock remained unbroken as the visitors sat back and soaked up the hosts’ pressure.
Pep Guardiola therefore chose to change things up, making a triple substitution as Foden, Jack Grealish and Gabriel Jesus were introduced in place of Ilkay Gundogan, Riyad Mahrez and Raheem Sterling. And the changes paid immediate dividends.
