Manchester City beat Atletico Madrid in their quarter-final of the Champions League after a 0-0 draw plunged into chaos.

The Premier League champions were forced to deal with the scandalous dark arts of their hosts all the time and clung to their overall 1-0 lead from the first match.

But the theme of the match will no doubt be a mass brawl in the dying moments when Diego Simeone and his men lost their rags – and angry scenes spilled into the tunnel.

Liverpool have qualified for the semi-finals of the Champions League against Villarreal, and even the careless 3-3 draw with Benfica led them to progress 6-4 overall.

The last two times the two teams met in the eighth of this competition, the Reds continued to lift the trophy (1978 and 1984) and there was nothing to suggest that they could not make three this season.

Meanwhile, the latest news about the next search for a Manchester United manager is that Ajax boss Eric ten Haag is on the verge of being appointed by the giants in the Premier League.
