And their manager insisted that City cannot rely on others for help in the wake of West Ham's controversial late disallowed goal during the weekend defeat by Mikel Arteta's leaders.

Arsenal's set-piece practices are routinely attributed to the dark arts. A brawl in the box‚ some would conclude. Diego Simeone's manual of deviousness‚ though‚ is a different level of chicanery. He is a pioneer of the craft‚ tracing back to his playing days. Just ask David Beckham‚ who was on the end of his antics at the 1998 World Cup‚ sent off for kicking the Argentina midfielder; Simeone later said he simulated an injury to get Beckham sent off. This sort of outlook is why Arsenal must be on red alert for a hostile battle in Atletico Madrid's backyard for Wednesday night's Champions League semi-final first leg‚ which will test as much about their mental fortitude‚ as their playing abilities.
