Real Madrid has been waiting for Manchester City in the Champions League semifinals. Atletico Madrid's "brother" escaped after getting rid of Chelsea, the day before.

In the match at the Wanda Metropolitano, Atlético's players went all out. No more total defensive play was shown in the last first leg.

Instead, it was Diego Simeone's troops who made Man City more defensive against the onslaught. However, opportunity after opportunity the host failed to use to become a goal.

Man City goalkeeper Ederson Moraes also performed quite well in goal. Based on statistical data, he was able to make three saves to keep the goal safe without conceding.

Atlético versus Man City match was hot until the last minute. Evidently, there is one red card that must be issued by the referee.

Atletico defender Felipe had to receive a second yellow card in the 91st minute. Playing with 10 men in the remainder of the match made it increasingly difficult for the hosts and had to settle for a 0-0 draw.
