Diego Simeone is hoping to reach his third Champions League final as Atletico boss Credit: PA City remain on the hunt to win the European Cup, but must first come up against Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid, who knocked Man Utd out in the last-16.
Simeone has previously caused Guardiola Champions League heartache when his Atletico side knocked Bayern out in the 2016 semi-finals.
City are rampant, however, while Atleti are a shadow of the side that reached two finals in three years.
