„Manchester City“ created a minimal lead in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals. „The Citizens“ defeated Madrid's „Atletico“ team 1:0 at home thanks to Kevin de Bruyne's goal. The first half lacked opportunities and was quite boring. The visitors from Spain did not threaten the goal at all, while the home team failed to break through the visitors' defense. The second half of the match was supposed to be much more interesting for football fans. Antoine Griezmann had a chance for a quick attack at the beginning of the second half, but failed to capitalize on it. The „Manchester City“ team was helped by Phil Foden, who entered the field as a substitute. The only goal of the match came after 21-year-old Englishman only needed two minutes to provide a successful pass to K. de Bruyne. The Belgian found himself in a good position and easily beat Jan Oblak. K. de Bruyne was also dangerous before the goal, and later had a good opportunity created by P. Foden, but failed to double the score. At the end of the match, there was an episode when Angel Correa shot the ball at Jack Grealish on the ground. However, the Argentine only received a yellow card, although „Man City“ coach Pep Guardiola was quite upset about this incident.
