Manchester City held Atltico Madrid to a 0-0 draw to return to the Champions League semifinals and keep alive its hopes of winning Europe's top club competition for the first time. City advanced thanks to its 1-0 win in the first leg last week. In the end, it was Pep Guardiola getting the best of Diego Simeone in the battle of styles between City's offensive-minded tactics and Atltico's more cautious approach. Atltico's attack struggled to find the net again and the Spanish club managed only three attempts on target after having none in the first leg. The hosts played the final minutes a man down after defender Felipe was sent off for kicking an opponent. The benches had been cleared a few moments earlier as Atltico's players appeared upset with City's attempt to waste time. The match ended with more than 12 minutes of stoppage time and Atltico had a couple of goods chances to break the deadlock but couldn't capitalize on them. Runner-up last year, City will next face Real Madrid
