MAN CITY continue their quest to win the Champions League with a quarter-final tie against Atletico Madrid.
Pep Guardiola’s side reached last season’s final but were undone by an astute Chelsea side, who bested them 1-0 in Porto.
City remain on the hunt to win the European Cup, but must first come up against Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid, who knocked Man Utd out in the last-16.
Simeone has previously caused Guardiola Champions League heartache when his Atletico side knocked Bayern out in the 2016 semi-finals.
City are rampant, however, while Atleti are a shadow of the side that reached two finals in three years.

Kyle Walker won’t be able to take part in the clash following his red card against RB Leipzig in the group stages of the competition.
Ruben Dias is also out of action with a hamstring injury but John Stones could return to the City XI.
Yannick Carrasco is suspended for Atletico, however Angel Correa and Koke could come into Simeone’s XI after serving domestic bans.
Luis Suarez came off the bench to score twice at the weekend but Simeone may stick with the partnership of Antoine Griezmann and Joao Felix instead.
