City will head to Spain to face Atletico in a tasty return leg in the quarter-finals of Europe’s most elite competition.
Pep Guardiola’s men take a 1-0 lead into Wednesday’s crunch match.
The boss was forced to step in to stop a confrontation between Jack Grealish and his Madrid antagonists in the first bout.
The England star came on for the final 30 minutes at The Etihad but had an eventful match.
Seconds after coming on he was bundled over by Rodrigo De Paul and that was just a sign of things to come.
He was fouled throughout and at one point, while lying on the ground, Angel Correa smashed the ball at the winger, hitting Grealish’s face.
Tensions eventually boiled over with Grealish confronting the opposition leading Guardiola to shove his own player to keep him out of trouble.
Even as the referee blew for full-time Atletico players were still trying to get under Grealish’s skin, with Šime Vrsaljko and Stefan Savic aggressively shouting in his face and pointing fingers.
