European football resumes this Tuesday as Manchester City host Atletico Madrid in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.

This would be the first competitive meeting between both sides, however, Simeone and Guardiola aren't no strangers to each other with both managers locking horns back in 2016 when Pep was at Bayern Munich.

Simeone in search of yet another Manchester victory

Although the second leg against Sporting Lisbon ended goallessly, it was more than enough to secure City's progression to the last eight as pep and his troops go in search of the trophy that has eluded them forever. Given the situation in England's domestic competition, a treble is still on the cards for Pep Guardiola, however, their results in the next few weeks would be a determining factor as they prepare for doubleheaders against Atletico Madrid and Liverpool. Goals from De Bruyne and Gundogan made sure of a return to winning ways in the league as they regained the top spot from Liverpool. Would we see them secure their third consecutive victory in all competitions this Tuesday ?

Atletico Madrid were at a slight disadvantage heading into the second leg of their last 16 clashes with Manchester United having played out a 1-1 stalemate in Spain. However, a Renan Lodi header and a stellar defensive performance from the Rojiblancos in Manchester were more than enough to sweep aside Manchester United. The LaLiga Santander defending champions would surely be keen on securing yet another victory in the city of Manchester and taking into account that they head into this game having won all of their last six games in all competitions, they would surely fancy their chances. In-form Joao Felix was on target last weekend as the Portuguese netted a brace in a 4-1 victory against Alaves- his sixth and seventh goal in seven games for Atletico Madrid.
