Pep Guardiola had called for an atmosphere but he did not expect there to be total, utter silence. That was the most eerie thing inside the stadium in this most incredible and almost unreal of Champions League ties as Tottenham Hotspur knocked out Manchester City on away goals. That bare fact does not tell the story. How could it? It does not tell the story of five goals in an 11-minute first-half frenzy, of City, at one point needing three goals to progress, and achieving just that, before facing an exit, and the extraordinary scenes when Raheem Sterling thought he had then completed a hat-trick deep into injury time to send City through only for it to be ruled out after the Italian VAR Massilmiliano Irati asked the Turkish referee Cuneyt Cakir to review. The dream of the quadruple is over for City and as the wild celebrations were brought to an abrupt halt – Sergio Aguero was clearly offside before he set up Sterling – they were replaced by, well, that silence. It was stunned, complete silence apart from, after a pause, a delirious wedge of Spurs supporters. City’s fans simply did not know how to react, how could they, before the fifth minute of added time expired and it was over. It was not their fault. They backed their team and the atmosphere before that incident was brilliant and it could not fail to be with such an endlessly end-to-end game that no neutral wanted to end. But they were numb as they downed a sea of flags on their seats before departing. What was possibly the most stunning fact of all, though, was that Kevin De Bruyne, who was unstoppable, somehow ended up on the losing side.<doc-sep>Mitch Freeley You can watch the Live Match Stream of Man City Vs Tottenham via beIN CONNECT Match Report Raheem Sterling was denied by VAR in injury-time as Manchester City's quadruple hopes came to an end in the most dramatic of circumstances against Tottenham in a classic Champions League quarter-final tie. The England international thought he had a hat-trick at the death at the Etihad Stadium, but a review showed Sergio Aguero was offside in the build-up as Tottenham were beaten 4-3 on the night and progressed 4-4 via the away goals rule. Spurs had already been assisted by VAR when Fernando Llorente bundled in from close range 17 minutes from time, which ultimately booked a semi-final date with Ajax. A chaotic first half had City 3-2 up at the break, as Sterling wiped out Son Heung-min's brace then scored the hosts' third following a fortunate Bernardo Silva equaliser. Aguero's brilliant strike had seemingly put City into the semis before VAR deemed Llorente's apparent handball to be accidental and Pep Guardiola's men saw wild celebrations for Sterling's last-gasp effort curtailed in sensational scenes.

Champions League Quarterfinals Manchester City vs Tottenham Date: Wednesday, April 17 Time: 3:00 PM ET TV Channel: TNT, Univision Deportes, UniMas Live Stream: fuboTV (watch for free) City finds themselves in a familiar situation. Just last season they fell to English opposition at this same stage, getting knocked out by Liverpool. For all of their domestic success in the last decade, Champions League glory has eluded them. They’ll need to be on top of their game tonight if they are to advance to the semifinals for only the second time. Without an away goal to their name, they must avoid conceding a goal to Spurs at home or their task will become much more difficult. As far as Spurs go, they have once again been bitten by the injury bug. Harry Kane, their main goal threat, is out for an extended period of time with an ankle injury he suffered in the first leg of this tie. They’ll need the likes of Son Heung-Min and Lucas Moura to step up and fill that scoring void. The Brazilian did just that at the weekend, notching a hat trick in a 4-0 win over Huddersfield Town on Saturday. City was also victorious, beating Crystal Palace, 3-1. Sergio Aguero limped off injured during that match, giving his side a scare. But, he has been deemed fit ahead of this crucial second leg. Will City’s hopes of a historic quadruple live on or will Spurs play spoiler? It promises to be an exciting night in Manchester as one of these Premier League sides books their spot in the semifinals. We recommend interesting sports viewing and streaming opportunities.

What a game. WHAT A GAME. Trying to summarize what just occurred in the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinal match between Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City seems ridiculous. Here are facts: Manchester City won the match, 4-3, but Tottenham advanced due to away goals. Other than that, I don’t know, man. Raheem Sterling had a goal that he scored in added time to give Manchester City the win, a goal that was somehow called back by video review after Aguero was determined to be offside. We had goals from Sterling, Son Heung-Min (twice) and Bernardo in the first 11 (!) minutes. Fernando Llorente of all people scored with his hip at some point. I don’t know. Lloris made some saves. Ederson made saves. I think I blacked out at one point in the second half. The game had more plot points than a Gaddis novel. I’m still not entirely sure what just happened. Seven goals, multiple lead changes. In the end, Tottenham did enough to hang on. I’d write about tactics or substitutions or what Pochettino did to counteract Guardiola’s tactics but it all seems silly. This was a prize fight with the two heavyweights just trading haymakers. What. A. Game. Here are all the goals from the match: HIGHLIGHTS 4′ – GOAL RAHEEM STERLING. Man City 1 – 0 Tottenham (1-1) That … did not take long.

Man City 4 – 2 Tottenham (4-3) Kevin De Bruyne breaks through the midfield, and finds the feet of Aguero, who’s scored more than his fair share of goals for this club. I’d write about the play more but I died 35 minutes ago. 73′ – GOAL LLORENTE. Man City 4 – 3 Tottenham (4-4) HE DID IT. OH MAN HE DID IT. Llorente rises up on a corner kick and scores with his … hip? They go to VAR but the goal stands. THIS GAME. OH MY GOD THIS GAME. 90 + 2′ – Goal disallowed for offside via VAR Raheem Sterling appeared to put the match to bed and send Manchester City through, but Sergio Aguero was ruled to be offside and the goal was disallowed.
