"I loved that performance"
Paul Dickov's Matchday Live assessment 🗣

"A magnificent performance.

"We talk about all these wonderful players we've got but we withstood that pressure.

"There was no way they were going to get beaten tonight.

"The calmness they had tonight as well, I absolutely loved that performance as much as I would have if we'd won 4-0."

I dont think I have seen anything like this in all my years, playing and watching football. To see a team lose at home to get knocked out and the atmosphere is incredible. It turned ugly at the end, we talked about the dark arts, but Man City saw it through. They were pushed, they were tested all the way

So Manchester City win the Royal Rumble in the Wanda. The Atletico fans are still waving scarfs and cheering their side.

BT are reporting that Stefan Savic has gone after Jack Grealish in the tunnel and the police have followed them up there to try and calm things down.

Distasteful behaviour from the Atletico players, they should be embarrassed with some of the antics they have gone on with - you have to say, talking about football, well done to Atletico Madrid as they made Manchester City play in a way we haven't seen for a long time, took them out of their rhythm and their stride. But some of the stuff towards the end was not what you want to see on a football pitch.

'Extremely chaotic finish'
FT: Atletico Madrid 0-0 Man City (0-1 agg)

Ian Dennis
BBC Radio 5 Live senior football reporter

I don't know where to start. It was an extremely chaotic finish. That was such an ill-tempered finish in the game. There were periods of play in the stoppage time where a game of football wasn't breaking out. The support from the Atletico fans was astonishing.

Either Jack has said something that we haven't seen or they just don't like the look of him. It is weird.
 
Savic heatbutt on Sterling
Felipe was enraged by his sending off.
But quite how Savic avoided a red card for this apparent headbutt is another matter...

What I would say is second half Man City didn't have the control. You felt it was buiklding for Atletico and then Felipe cost them and it was buffoonery at the highest level. Man City were spooked by what happened.

The main thing for Man City is they got over the line.

Sutton is a plank. Our self control was immense.
