At 3:00 a.m. Beijing time on April 14, the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals began, and Atletico Madrid sat at home to meet Manchester City.
Atletico Madrid vs Manchester City, the highlights of the game are as follows:
First: two-team situation! In the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Manchester City beat Atletico Madrid 1-0 at home. In the last round of the league, Atletico lost 1-0 at home to Mallorca and Manchester City drew 2-2 at home to Liverpool.
Second: Atletico have no way to retreat, the home team must attack! Returning home with a 1-0 away defeat, Atletico Madrid, who scored 0 goals in the first leg, had to go out, and only a goal could qualify. Simeone is used to defending against strong teams and now needs to attack out, and it is worth paying attention to whether Atletico players can do a good job in the transfer of roles. But for an offensive genius like Felix, Atletico's change from defense to offense may be more suitable for the "Portuguese new Cristiano Ronaldo".
Third: Manchester City can replicate the tactics against Liverpool! Manchester City in the Premier League title battle of The King's Hill, accelerated the pace of attack, more directly behind the back line, if it were not for Sterling, Jesus too fast, Manchester City would have already defeated Liverpool. Facing Atletico, Manchester City can still replicate the tactics against Liverpool, accelerate the back, if Atletico attacks out, there will definitely be a lot of gaps, if Atletico is firmly on the counter-attack, Manchester City will control the ball to wear out the time. Therefore, the initiative of this key battle is in the hands of Manchester City, in fact, Guardiola is more looking forward to Simeone's choice to attack, with de Bruyne's accurate guidance, Manchester City can always find the "space" to attack.
The two sides met only once, with Manchester City beating Atletico 1-0.
Injury suspensions on both sides: Atletico have Herrera and Gimenez; Manchester City have Palmer; among them Jesus is suspended.
