Manchester City held off Atlético at the Estadio Metropolitano to set up an all-Spanish UEFA Champions League semi-final with Real Madrid.

Manchester City will face Real Madrid in the semi-finals. The only thing to emphasise is that we didn’t win – and that’s all that truly counts." Overall, though, we are in the semi-finals – and it's deserved." Well, Guardiola turned up on the Metropolitano touchline in all black and his team are the ones heading to their UEFA Champions League semi-final on the back of four straight clean sheets. It was a difficult night all round and how we defended, over the two legs, was incredible." Two decent chances for substitute Rodrigo De Paul followed, and as Atlético upped the ante, City dug deep as the final whistle approached.

- - - - - - - - - Simeone will hope Felix and Antoine Griezmann can step up on Wednesday as goals have not been easy for Atletico to come by in the Champions League on home turf this season. But that might be easier said than done as City are yet to concede a goal in the knockout stages of the competition.

Manchester City have travelled to the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium to take on La Liga champions Atletico Madrid in their Champions League quarter-final ...

Pep Guardiola was delighted to welcome Ruben Dias back to full training this week after a lengthy injury lay-off. Real Madrid edged past Premier League side Chelsea in a thrilling contest at the Santiago Bernabeu on Tuesday night, and now await the winners of Atletico Madrid against Manchester City in the last-four of Europe's premier club competition. When it did come, however, a brilliant piece of creativity from substitute Phil Foden was finished off by the in-form and clinical, Kevin De Bruyne.

Minute-by-minute report: A semi-final with Real Madrid beckons. Join Barry Glendenning to find out who goes through.

Atletico Madrid's Wanda Metropolitano is set to be full for the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final against Manchester City.

Had Atletico been made to enforce the partial stadium closure at Wednesday's game, thousands of tickets would have needed to be cancelled at short notice. But the Court of Arbitration for Sport granted a suspension after "considering the serious repercussions to local security if the partial stadium closure had to be enforced at this late stage". In addition to the the partial stadium closure, Atletico were fined €5,250 and ordered to display a banner with the wording “#NoToRacism” and the UEFA logo at Wednesday's game with City.

Here's what you need to know about Atletico Madrid vs. Manchester City in the quarterfinal round.

Madrid will be looking to make up for a 1-0 loss on the road in the first leg last week. Madrid had a tough time getting anything going, but they held Man City at bay for a big chunk of the game until the 70th minute. Atletico Madrid will play host to EPL giants Manchester City in the second leg of their Champions League quarterfinal tie on Wednesday afternoon.

Unsurprisingly, Atleti finished with 0.00 expected goals since they did not record a single shot, which is the wrong kind of record to set. How rare was that?

It's unlikely, especially with the personnel, that they will be able to greatly increase their possession, and the expectation will be for Manchester City to score. Atleti have to be ready, quick to move the ball into space and show the quality they have in attack. Atleti, out of any team, have the ability to turn this around and pull off a shocker, but expect City to score. They need to rediscover their aggression, believe in their defense with less numbers and simply get more men into attacking situation as early as possible. It's obvious that the approach will be different at home, but if they miss the mark again with whatever changes they make, they'll simply be reduced to spectators the rest of the way and see their European dream elude them once again. Much too often it was either Joao Felix or Antoine Griezmann in no-man's land, surrounded by sky-blue shirts and with the only option being to try and draw a foul. Unsurprisingly, Atleti finished with 0.00 expected goals since they did not record a single shot, which is the wrong kind of record to set. They've done it to Liverpool, Bayern Munich and plenty of others with Simeone having two UCL final appearances and a pair of Europa and La Liga titles to his name. They regularly had all 11 players behind the ball but could not get the result they wanted because City prevented Diego Simeone's attack from functioning properly in what proved to be, tactically, his most challenging match of the season. Atleti are not a team that possess the ball much. As a result, no one is seems to be convinced that they can turn this tie come Wednesday during the second leg at the Wanda Metropolitano (3 p.m. ET A 1-0 defeat to Manchester City at the Etihad last Tuesday was far from ideal as the reigning La Liga champions could not even produce a single chance on goal.

Por el partido de ida, por el gol de De Bruyne, por las dos paradas finales de Ederson en la vuelta, el equipo madrileño está eliminado.

Por el partido de ida, por el gol de De Bruyne, por las dos paradas finales de Ederson en la vuelta, el equipo madrileño está eliminado. El equipo de Diego Simeone que ha sido siempre, que no fue en el encuentro de ida y que debía serlo para sentirse conforme consigo mismo en la vuelta, en la que, entonces sí, por primera vez en toda la eliminatoria, hizo dudar al City, superado ya en cada lance, en cada segunda jugada, en cada pelota dividida, sin sentirse todo lo controlador que había sido siempre, cuando percibió que no había ganado nada, que aún le quedaba sufrir. De primeras no alteró al City. Después, en el segundo tiempo, sí. El City es un equipo tan hecho, tan marcado, tan riguroso con su estilo que soportó los primeros amagos del Atlético para tomar, allá por el minuto 20, el mando del partido y de la eliminatoria. En la ida, escondió sus miedos en un repliegue intensivo sobre el que se refugió ante la tormenta que intuía, que no fue para tanto. Era parte del plan de Simeone. El Atlético surgió con todo en el segundo tiempo, descubrió la ambición de un grupo que no le teme a nada, que acepta cualquier desafío. Y lo disputa. Porque el plan no dio para ganar al City, que será el rival del Real Madrid. El Atlético está eliminado.

Atlético Madrid rolled out the royal cholismo treatment for Pep Guardiola's side, which persevered nevertheless to return to Europe's final four.

Atlético went direct and pressed hard and for a time, as the atmosphere swelled, City looked rattled. One delicious ball with the outside of his boot from Riyad Mahrez cut Atlético open and led to İlkay Gündoğan rolling a shot against the post. City had roughly two-thirds of the ball and, without overcommitting, did pose a consistent threat in the first half. Instead, six yellow cards—including the one that gave Felipe his marching orders—were doled out between the first and seventh minutes of stoppage time. Felipe spent three minutes refusing to leave the field, time Atlético could have used to try to find an equalizer when the feeling was that it may have indeed been coming. But if Pep Guardiola was owed some fortune against anybody it is Diego Simeone, given the way his Bayern Munich side lost on away goals to Atlético in the 2016 semifinals despite having dominated both legs.

Manchester City held on through a fractious second half to draw 0-0 with Atlético Madrid and progress to the Champions League semi-final.

City had gone close from an early corner, Stones heading high, and they created the big chance of the opening period in the 30th minute. From the restart, they pushed high, bringing the aggression and they had numerous flickers in front of goal, which the home fans were ultra quick to get behind. Felipe had left him dazed and bloodied after jumping into him in a 12th minute aerial challenge, wiping him out with a ferocious upper body barge. The heart-in-mouth moments for the travelling City support continued to come. Grealish had called Savic the C-word during the melee, which led to Savic grabbing his hair. With Foden down, all hell broke loose, another Atlético defender, Stefan Savic, trying to lift him to his feet and being shooed away by Oleksandr Zinchenko, who was an unused City substitute, as everybody converged.

La segunda es sentirte orgulloso y siento orgullo del equipo que tiene el Atlético, porque compite y saben que vamos a competir. la primera parte fue muy buena y después nos tuvimos que adaptar porque no tuvimos la pelota... Y la animosidad se extendió al túnel que lleva a los vestuarios, luego del partido. “Tengo prioridades, la primera es ganar y posteriormente es estar orgulloso de lo que hacemos”, manifestó el argentino Simeone. "Tenemos una afición extraordinaria. El resultado fue un partido en el que hubo más altercados y faltas rudas que oportunidades claras de gol o juego fluido. Los locales jugaron los últimos minutos en inferioridad numérica, luego que el zaguero brasileño Felipe fue expulsado por patear a un rival.

In the past, Man City have been guilty of allowing Champions League knockout ties to descend into chaos, but they handled Atletico Madrid well.

"Overall we are in the semifinals -- it is well deserved. There were spells on Wednesday, particularly in the second half, when it looked like the game would veer that way but this is a City team who look far better for the experiences of those harrowing exits. "In the first half, we had chances. Mixed in were moments of calm when it would have been easy for City to fold. At the Etihad last week, they didn't look keen to engage with City's blue shirts much beyond the edge of their own penalty area but at home they suddenly found a whole other half to play in. That Atletico's frustration eventually boiled over was credit to the way Man City managed an awkward tie amid the mayhem to see out the game 0-0 and hold the aggregate at 1-0, setting up a semifinal with Real Madrid later this month.

Manchester City held a 1-0 advantage after the first leg thanks to a goal from Kevin De Br.

Manchester City will meet Real Madrid in the more anticipated of the two semifinals. The 29-year-old provided cover for the defense and was often the facilitator to begin Atletico's attacking moves. A quick sequence in the 87th minute summed up how Manchester City was managing to stymie those efforts but only just so. Savic and Kondogbia totally dominating their areas of the pitch. In the 30th minute, Manchester City supporters might have been wondering whether it was going to be one of those nights. That triggered a scuffle between the teams, and Felipe was ultimately handed a second yellow card for the tackle on Foden.

As the crowd in Madrid that felt more like a cauldron roared their team on, City showed real signs of discomfort for the first time. But it was only in the second half that they began to seriously threaten the City goal. We've had our chances, we haven't taken advantage of them and congratulations to the rival, but Atleti deserved more."

Three things we learned as City march to the Champions League semifinal.

City are considered to be one of the best teams in Europe, so it's only fitting that they have to defeat one of the best teams in Champions League history as they look to win their first title. In the 91st minute, Felipe took down Phil Foden to get his second yellow card and an early shower, but not before the benches cleared in a coming together from the players as they pushed and shoved each other. The clash would also rear its head in the tunnel after the match with words being exchanged and at least something being thrown which could lead to a fine from UEFA. Jack Grealish and Stefan Savic took center stage during that skirmish, as the two exchanged words which resulted in Savic yanking Grelish's hair. It was quite the difference as the first half saw City take eight shots to Atletico's one but only producing an xG of 0.61. They embody the fiery spirit of their manager and will do whatever is needed to wind up the other team and hope that they're frustrated enough to make a mistake.

City, a team shaped by style, showed it was also skilled in the dark arts as eliminated Atlético Madrid and moved a step closer to its first Champions ...

It is the way it is because it works. Often, it is so easy to be dazzled by the brilliance of Guardiola’s side that its character, its courage, is overlooked. Atlético is not the way it is for fun. City does not wilt and it does not doubt; it keeps going, remorselessly, absolute in its conviction that it will be proved right in the end. He knows there are times when that is what matters, that is what counts. That is as much part of Guardiola’s recipe as anything else. There is no team more associated with beauty than Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City. He has come, over the years, to stand as an embodiment of soccer’s higher values, its ultimate arbiter of taste, its aesthete in chief. Atlético should, by rights, be a heroic underdog among Europe’s elite, a countercultural alternative to the hegemony of pressing and possession. No injury was shaken off; even the most minor bump and bruise warranted an extended period of treatment. Simeone has spent a decade crafting a team in his own image, one that plays, just as he did, with a “knife between its teeth.” There were flashes, of course, Atlético Madrid charging forward, desperately hunting the goal that would break Manchester City’s resistance and take the game into extra time, extend their stay in the Champions League for another 30 minutes or, just maybe, another few weeks. There was quite a lot of time-wasting.

It's a game with a lot of pressure and I don't really know what happened to Felipe, but it's not pleasant."

"But those of us who maybe have a smaller vocabulary, we're not so stupid. "People came on from the bench, there are a lot of nerves, it's normal that there's pushing and some bad words said. "The game can make you mad like that, when you're putting them under pressure and creating chances, and they're going down, wasting time," Atletico captain Koke said, when asked about the red card and the fracas that followed.
