UEFA hit Atletico Madrid with partial stadium closure for Man City Champions League quarter-final

UEFA have ordered a partial closure of Atletico Madrid’s stadium for Manchester City’s visit in the Champions League quarter-finals on Wednesday.

The Blues travel to the Spanish capital this week to conclude their last-eight meeting with the La Liga champions. Pep Guardiola’s side are 1-0 up from the first leg at the Etihad thanks to Kevin De Bruyne’s second-half goal.

The first leg was played out in a fractious atmosphere, with City frustrated by their visitors’ pragmatic approach. Incidents involving Atletico supporters also led to UEFA opening disciplinary proceedings against the club.
