Manchester Madrid will face another Real Madrid club in the semi-finals, while Liverpool will compete for the final with another Spanish team, Villarreal.
City fought a goalless draw 0-0 with Atletico and won 1-0 in two matches.
Last week, the home team won 1-0 in Manchester. Joseph Guardiola made two changes to City’s 2: 2 Premier League match with Liverpool on Sunday: Riyadh Marez and Ilkay Gindon replaced Rahim Sterling and the disqualified Gabriel Jesus.
Meanwhile, Diego Simeone decided to make a change in the middle of the pitch, where Tom Lemar replaced Rodrigo de Paul after returning after three matches. In the face of the attack, the choice was in favor of Juan Felix and Antoine Grizman, but Lewis Svaress was in reserve at the beginning of the fight.
The first tension was played in the 30th minute, when the ball hit Gindoana’s post, but the next shot of the German footballer was blocked.
The home team had an excellent chance to score and draw two games in the last ten minutes of the regular time, when Mateus Kunja’s shot was blocked first, but Stefans Savičs did not hit the goal from a short distance after a corner kick.
After a short tussle with the defender, Savipe finally tucked the ball home. Felipe received a second yellow card after 30 minutes for unsportsmanlike behavior.
In the eighth minute of the compensation period, Janniks Karasko executed a dangerous penalty, saving the City unit from the lost goal for Ederson. In the final attack of the game, Atletico’s desperate tried to score a goal, but Anhels Korrea hit the ball over Ederson.
I dont know why, but Simeone is complaining that he didnt get a penalty for that.
Meanwhile, Liverpool have drawn a 3: 3 draw with Benfica on their own, winning a two-match 6: 4 match.
A week ago, Liverpool won the away team 3: 1 and Jürgen Clops decided to make as many as seven changes from Sunday’s Premier League game. Mohammed Salah, Sadio Manet and Virgin van Deik were not in the starting eleven.
Playing without the brightest stars did not interfere with the lead – in the 21st minute after the corner kick Ibrahima Konate hit the head exactly. In the 32nd minute of the match, after an error in the defense of Liverpool, Gonsalu Ramušs executed the shot from the penalty area and reached 1: 1.
Liverpool’s return returned a match in the 55th minute when Benfica seemed to escape a dangerous opponent’s attack, but did not hold the ball to the penalty area, allowing Robert Firmin to send the ball into the empty net. The English club strengthened in front ten minutes later when Firminu sent the ball into the goal without a penalty.
Benfica reduced their lead in the 73rd minute – Roman Yaremchuk ran through Liverpool’s defenders and defeated home goalkeeper Alison. Nine minutes later, Darwin Nunjess made another 3: 3 run. The last two goals scored by the Lisboners were checked and confirmed by video replays.
It has already been reported that Villarreal won Munich’s Bayern 2: 1 in the quarter-finals, while Madrid’s Real won Chelsea’s London champions 5: 4.
The semi-finals will take place on April 26/27 and May 3-4.
In the UEFA Champions League group tournament, 32 teams were divided into eight groups of four each. The first two entered the next round, the third moved to the Europa League, and the fourth European Cup season was over.
The finals of this season will take place on May 28 in Paris, although it was originally scheduled for St. Petersburg. After Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, UEFA deprived St. Petersburg of the right to host the final.
