Prediction: 1-1
Man City
A spot in the Champions League semis will be at stake when Atletico Madrid and Manchester City go head to head at Estadio Wanda Metropolitano on Wednesday. Los Rojiblancos suffered a 1-0 loss to Man City in the first leg, with the team failing to take a shot on goal. Diego Simeone’s troops produce much better showings at home than on the travels, but the bookies still see them as underdogs in the second leg. Midfielder Hector Herrera faces race against clock to be fit for the match, while defender Jose Gimenez remains in the recovery room. Argentina attacker Angel Correa is back from a domestic ban.
The Citizens, on the other hand, played out a thrilling 2-2 draw with Liverpool at the weekend. Kevin De Bruyne is enjoying yet another season to remember, meaning that the opposition defenders should have him at bay. Anyhow, a close encounter is on the cards in Madrid, and we are tempted to put our money on draw. Ruben Dias should be the only absentee in the away team as Kyle Walker is back from suspension.
Highlighted Player (Antoine Griezmann):
Anthony Griezmann is a French forward born on 21st March 1991 in Macon, and he is widely regarded as one of Europe’s most exciting footballers at the moment. The pacey striker started showing his potential shortly after coming through Real Sociedad’s youth academy and he went on to score 46 goals in 179 league appearances for La Real. Excellent displays in Spanish la Liga saw him become a target for a number of top clubs, but he eventually choose to sign for Atletico Madrid, and that proved to be a very good decision.
Griezmann continued the rich vein of form at Vicente Calderon, scoring some important goals as los Colchoneros enjoyed domestic and European success, while also becoming a key member of the France national team.
Playing as a winger or second striker, Griezmann possesses impressive technical skills, he is a strong finisher and still finds time to work hard for his side, so no wonder he is widely regarded as one of the leading forwards on the continent. He won the U19 European Championship with France and is tipped to lead Les Bleus to glory on senior level as well.
Highlighted Team (Man City):
Manchester City are the lest famous of the two major clubs based in Manchester. The club was founded in 1880, but they have been struggling in the English Premier League in the past. Nonetheless, ever since the club was purchased by Abu Dhabi United Group in 2008, the Citizens have been playing an important role in the English top flight.
Manchester City won two Premier League trophies under Roberto Mancini and Manuel Pellegrini (2011/2012 and 2013/2014), but both managers eventually paid the price for some disappointing results. Man City play their home games at the Etihad Stadium and the stadium capacity is 55,097.
Manchester United are regarded as Manchester City’s biggest rivals and the likes of Kun Aguero, Carlos Tevez, Shaun Wright-Phillips, Uwe Rosler, Yaya Toure, Sylvain Distin are some of the most remarkable players that played for the Etihad Stadium outfit. Manchester City have won four Premier League titles and five FA Cup trophies and it has to be noted that they made it to the Champions League semis in the 2015/2016 season.
