Kevin de Bruyne’s second-half goal gave Manchester City a narrow victory over Atletico Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final.
While Pep Guardiola’s side dominated possession they struggled to penetrate a typically resilient and robust Atletico defense for long periods.
However, the introduction of Phil Foden reaped immediate dividends, with the England midfielder sliding in De Bruyne, 79 seconds after entering the fray as a substitute – and the Belgian firmly placed his finish past visiting goalkeeper Jan Oblak.
City travel to Spain for the second leg on 13 April (20:00 BST).
