Mid-term conclusion:
Club Atlético de Madrid lead 1-0 at halftime in the Champions League round of 16 second leg at Manchester United FC. In a game that was intense from the start, the English got the better start, as it was much more active, and created a very good first chance through Elanga in the 14th minute. In direct return, the Spaniards just barely missed a goal through de Paul out of the blue (17th). In the aftermath, the Rangnick selection mostly set the direction, but lacked the necessary cleverness on and in the opposing sixteen to work out further clear deals in a confined space. The Rojiblancos, on the other hand, were extremely efficient: if Félix’s successful completion of an almost perfect move was preceded by an offside position (34′), they were allowed to celebrate Renan Lodi’s header into the left corner of the home goal (41′). Bruno Fernandes’ chance to equalize was thwarted by Oblak in injury time (45+2). See you soon!

Tooor for Atlético Madrid, 0: 1 by Renan Lodi
Atlético opens the door to the quarterfinals! Félix lands a ball on the right side of the penalty area and puts it down for Griezmann. The Frenchman crosses in a high arc in front of the left post. Renan Lodi produces a bounce with his head, which hits the short corner.
40
21:41
In the final phase of the first half, Atlético dared to deliver the opposing structure for the first time. So far, Diego Simeone’s plan is working; only a narrow offside position prevented a lead.
37
21:39
United acts in the last third of the field without increased speed and often has too little overview to recognize the free spaces. In view of the clear advantages of the game shares, there are too few opportunities.
34
21:36
João Félix throws the net behind De Gea, but the offside flag goes straight up! After Koke Llorente sent steeply to the right side of the sixteen, he put it across for Félix. The goal scorer in the first leg slides into the mesh on the left pentagon and turns away to celebrate, but is then stopped by the referee’s whistle: Llorente, who provided the assist, was offside when Koke passed the ball.
31
21:31
After colliding with Maguire, who hit him in the head in an aerial duel, Giménez lay briefly on the pitch. The Uruguayan can then continue without treatment.
29
21:30
Sancho dribbles down the left at high speed into the box, but there are two more defenders in Llorente and Giménez. Again, the former Dortmunder runs headlessly into her and gives her the ball.
26
21:28
Dalot from the second row! At the end of a quick combination in the offensive center, the Portuguese targets the right corner from a half-right 21 meters with his right instep. Oblak is fast down and holds the ball.
23
21:24
In the fight for a high pass against Bruno Fernandes, Reinildo misses the ball in his own sixteen, but referee Vinčić’s courageous and quite risky use of the Mozambican is not enough for a penalty kick.
20
21:21
After a shy start, Atlético shows a little more presence in midfield, but is still mainly challenged in their own sixteen. Diego Simeone initially relies on the defensive zero.
17
21:16
De Paul demands De Gea everything away! The Argentine appears on the right half in front of the opponent’s defense and unpacks a powerful shot with his right foot, which is destined for the left angle. De Gea takes off and prevents the impact with the fingertips of his right hand.
14
21:13
Elanga nearly with the 1:0! Bruno Fernandes refuels on the right to the baseline and from there passes flat to the nearby pentagon. Elanga takes off directly with his left foot and shoots Oblak in the head.
13
21:12
As a result of a high shift by Griezmann, Renan Lodi makes his first appearance on the deep left wing. Due to the lack of players who ran along, the Brazilian had to stop the attack immediately.
10
21:10
Sancho finds a way to the baseline via the left flank. There, the ex-Dortmunder is then approached by two guest players and does not manage a cross in front of the goal.

21:07
The first few minutes of the second leg between Manchester and Madrid are quite intense. The home side start energetically and make it into the last third of the field with almost every advance.

21:04
First-leg goalscorer Elanga has the first chance! The 19-year-old is the addressee of a high cross from Dalot from the half-right offensive corridor in the center of the penalty area. He is on the ball in front of the outgoing keeper Oblak and nods it over the box from seven yards.

20:26
On the side of the Red Devils, who have only been in the quarter-finals of the European premier class twice since their CL final defeat in 2011 and who are only fifth in the Premier League after 29 match days, coach Ralf Rangnick has compared to the 3-2 home win against the Tottenham Hotspur FC made three personnel changes. Bruno Fernandes, McTominay and Elanga edge Pogba, Matić and Rashford onto the bench.
20:19
In front of their home crowd, the reigning champions of the Primera División took the lead in the 7th minute with a header from João Félix at the end of February and missed a very good opportunity to extend the lead before going into the cabin. With a rather reserved style of play, the Madrilenians guarded their own goal very effectively in the second half, but in the 80th minute United used a rare oversight in the opposition’s defense to equalize through youngster Elange, who came on as a substitute. Joker Griezmann, who hit the crossbar from close range, just barely missed Atlético’s positive first-leg result a little later.
