Pep Guardiola claimed bringing on Phil Foden was something of a gamble as the England star provided a much needed spark for Manchester City at the Etihad.
The Catalan watched on as his side huffed and puffed in pursuit of the decisive goal against a stubborn Atletico Madrid defence. Kevin De Bruyne eventually proved to be the game's match winner as he teamed up effectively with Foden, who had only been on for 90 seconds, before slotting past Jan Oblak.
Diego Simeone set his team up like many expected and it was up to City to find a way past the Spanish outfit. They were unable to create any clear cut chances in the first-half before the game opened up in the second 45. Foden proved to be an inspired arrival as Guardiola made a triple change.
