Man City vs Atletico Madrid live stream: How to watch Champions League quarter-final online and on TV tonight

PA

Pep Guardiola has talked up the attacking ability of Atletico Madrid as Manchester City prepare to host Diego Simeone’s side.

The two sides meet in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, with Guardiola believing that Simeone’s team are unfairly labelled by some.

“After watching Atletico there is a misconception, wrong, about the way [Simeone’s team] plays,” Guardiola said. “It’s more offensive than people believe. He doesn’t want to take a risk in the build-up but they have quality in the final third.”

Atletico knocked out Manchester United in the previous round with a tight victory at Old Trafford, while Sporting CP were beaten comfortably by Manchester City.
