Man City to face Manchester United conquerors Atletico Madrid in Champions League quarter-finals
18.03.2022 - 15:09 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Manchester City will break new ground in the Champions League quarter-finals after being drawn against Atletico Madrid.
The Blues have never faced the Spanish side before, but will take them on at the Etihad Stadium in the first leg and at the Wanda Metropolitano in the second leg. The two legs come either side of the Premier League showdown with Liverpool.
If the Blues get through, they could get a chance to avenge last season's final defeat, as they will face the winners of the last eight tie between Chelsea and Real Madrid in the semi-final. City lost to the Londoners in Porto last season despite starting as firm favourites.
Atletico are the reigning Spanish champions and made it into the quarter-finals by dumping out Manchester United in the last 16, following a 1-1 draw at home by winning 1-0 at Old Trafford last week. But Atletico have been having a difficult season domestically, sitting in fourth place, 15 points behind leaders and cross-city rivals Real Madrid.

They lost twice to Liverpool in the group stages to finish as runners-up to the Merseysiders, losing 3-2 on their own turf and 2-0 at Anfield. They also lost 1-0 at home to AC Milan, who finished bottom of the group, but pulled off victories in Milan and at Porto to reinforce the idea that they have been better away from home in Europe this season.
The tie will see Stefan Savic turn out for Atletico against his old club - the Montenegro international spent an unhappy season at the Etihad in 2011-12 but has gone on to become one of Europe's top defenders.
The first legs of the quarter-final ties will be played on April 5 and 6, and the second legs will be on April 12 and 13. The winners of City vs Atletico
