JACK GAUGHAN: Forget the beautiful football, streetwise Manchester City love a scrap too... a trait that was on show against the masters of the trade in Champions League clash with Atletico Madrid

Smart guy, Phil Foden. Rolling back on the pitch after Felipe's wild hack had put him into the first row was, ironically, pure Atletico Madrid.

And that act, prompting a brawl in one corner of the Wanda Metropolitano, did for Atletico.

Diego Simeone's team lost their heads in a chaotic 11 minutes of stoppage time. It didn't feel like it at the time, but Manchester City managed the situation perfectly.
