Pogba, Rashford, Cavani – Rangnick’s change fizzles out
And Ronaldo? Manchester’s superstar could hardly set accents after the restart. In the Premier League he shone with three goals in the game against Tottenham Hotspur (3-2) on Saturday.
After an hour it was then instead Jadon Sancho, which almost equalized. But his remarkable direct acceptance went over the gate.
Ralf Rangnick made three changes after 67 minutes, sending among other things Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford to the field. A little later Edinson Cavani. But the defensive specialist had the greatest chance Raphael Varane. However, Oblak was able to parry his header from a free-kick cross.
Manchester continued to hope for standards or a stroke of genius from their offensive artists. But Atlético nipped any quarter-final dreams in the bud. A humorless appearance of the “Rojiblancos” – reminiscent of earlier times.
