Kevin
De
Bruyne’s
solitary
goal
in
the
first
leg
last
week
gave
Pep
Guardiola’s
side
a
slender
lead
to
take
to
the
Wanda
Metropolitano.
Diego
Simeone’s
men
put
them
under
intense
pressure
in
the
second
half,
but
City
held
firm
before
tempers
flared
late
on
and
Felipe
saw
red.

That
left
the
visitors
to
see
out
a
1-0
aggregate
victory
to
reach
back-to-back
Champions
League
semi-finals
for
the
first
time
in
their
history.
The
Premier
League
leaders
will
now
face
Real
Madrid
in
the
last
four
after
Carlo
Ancelotti’s
charges
overcame
Chelsea
on
Tuesday.
The
first
clear
sight
of
goal
for
either
side
came
on
the
half-hour
mark
when
Ilkay
Gundogan
struck
the
base
of
Jan
Oblak’s
right-hand
post
from
eight
yards
after
being
teed
up
by
Phil
Foden.
City,
coming
into
the
game
on
the
back
of
a
thrilling
2-2
draw
with
title
rivals
Liverpool,
looked
the
more
likely
to
score
throughout
the
first
half,
yet
they
went
in
at
the
break
having
failed
to
hit
the
target
with
any
of
their
eight
shots.
The
hosts
were
much
improved
at
the
start
of
the
second
period
and
Antoine
Griezmann
flashed
a
dipping
effort
past
the
post
from
the
edge
of
the
penalty
area
shortly
before
the
hour.
There
was
a
melee
after
Felipe’s
late
challenge
on
Foden
in
the
closing
stages,
with
both
sets
of
players
clashing
near
the
corner
flag.
The
end
result
was
a
second
yellow
card
for
the
Atleti
defender
as
the
home
side’s
Champions
League
campaign
ended
on
a
sour
note,
with
Simeone
himself
booked
in
stoppage
time
after
stepping
onto
the
pitch.
