Atletico Madrid and Manchester United tied 1-1 this Wednesday in the first leg of the round of 16 in the Champions League.

Atlético went up on the scoreboard very early, after 7 minutes, with a great goal from Joao Félix.

However, the mattress box could not keep the advantage and came to receive the tie at minute 80, through Elanga, with which the pass to the quarterfinals will be decided in three weeks at Old Trafford.

Manchester did not resign

Atlético surprised United on the pitch at the Metropolitano, who suffered pressure from the rival in the first half, before growing after the break.

The high pressure of the rojiblancos soon had its reward when Renan Lodi put a ball into the area where Joao Félix entered to connect a header to make it 1-0 (7).

Atlético could have extended their account just before half-time when Sime Vrsaljko forced a Lodi cross from the left, which hit Victor Lindelof and bounced off the crossbar (45).

After the break, Atlético began to notice the physical effort displayed in the first half, while United took a step forward, trying to press the exit of the
Athletic.

United arrived, but found themselves with a good athletic defense, which again showed a strength that seemed to have weakened in recent games, but when it seemed that the colchoneros were once again in control of the match, the draw came.

Bruno Fernandes put in a long pass to Elanga, who had entered through Rashford (75) and who ran off to beat Oblak with a cross shot to equalize (80) that left everything open.
