Manchester City prevailed over Atletico Madrid in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, as the 0-0 draw led to chaos. The Premier League champions were forced to deal with the notorious dark arts of their hosts and were left with an overall 1-0 lead from the first game. But the point of contention for the fight will undoubtedly be a mass brawl at the time of his death as Diego Simeone and his men lose their rags – and angry scenes erupt in the tunnel. Liverpool lost in the Champions League semi-final against Villarreal, and even a 3-3 draw with Benfica saw them advance 6-4 overall. In the last two cases in which the two teams have met in the last eight of this tournament, the Reds have continued to lift the trophy (1978 and 1984) and there is not much to suggest that they can not become three this season. Meanwhile, the latest news for the next search for Manchester United coach is that Ajax boss Eric ten Hague is on the verge of being appointed by the Premier League giants.
