    FT: Man City 1-0 Atletico Madrid!!! All over at the Etihad and KDB's 70th minute is the difference between the sides. Atletico came just to defend, but Foden's introduction in the second half made the difference. He assisted in the goal and he was dangerous afterwards as well, but City couldn't get a second. It's all to play for in the second leg. Thanks for joining us and see you again soon!

    HT: Man City 0-0 Atletico Madrid!! Half-time at the Etihad and it's a very fair score. Man City are the much better side with 69% possession, but they've been restricted to long range efforts off target. Atleti have come to defend and they are doing their job very well so far. Back shortly!
