Manchester City 1-0 Atletico Madrid
City struggled to settle into rhythm in the opening stages and had a header from Aymeric Laporte following a corner-kick and a snap attempt by Kevin De Bruyne as their only threats. With Jack Grealish, Phil Foden and Gabriel Jesus introduced by City, the breakthrough followed with 20 minutes to go as a pass from Foden saw De Bruyne collect to finish emphatically.
Liverpool broke the deadlock in the first 20 minutes when a corner-kick from Andrew Robertson fell all the way for Ibrahima Konate, who made no mistake and headed home.
