Man United vs atlético Madrid

Hello and welcome to The Athletic's coverage of this Champions League round-of-16 second leg between Manchester United and Atletico Madrid.

I think.20 min Yep, genius from Fred. He wriggles away from Savic in the area, an Iniestan piece of escapology near the byline, but then his cutback is blocked by Gimenez.19 min Dalot's shot from the edge of the area is blocked by Reinildo. This is a pretty good game - United are dominating possession but Atletico look dangerous on the counter attack.16 min And now Atletico almost take the lead! We've said it before but the first goal tonight is so important.21 min A long ball was played towards Fernandes in the area, and Reinildo kicked between his legs in an attempt to get the ball. Maguire makes a good challenge on the edge of the area but can only divert the ball to Rodrigo De Paul. He hits a deflected, swirling shot that looks set to sneak into the far corner until De Gea - playing against his old club - claws it round the post. He clipped an excellent deep cross to the unmarked Renan Lodi, whose downward header beat De Gea at the near post.There's a VAR check for a foul on Elanga, but the goal is given!41 min Elanga charges away from Renan Lodi and then Reinildo, who brazenly takes him out. Atletico will have no qualms about keeping their backs to the wall for 120 minutes if necessary.29 min It's two against three in the centre of midfield but McTominay and Fred are winning the battle at the moment. Koke played a one-two in midfield and slid the ball through to the overlapping Llorente, whose cross/pass was volleyed in by Joao Felix. But the flag went up as soon as the ball hit the net, and replays confirmed that Llorente was fractionally offside when Koke put him clear.30 min Gimenez makes a brave headed clearance from a corner, a split-second before being thumped by Harry Maguire's gigantic noggin. United are up against it, again.45+2 min Fernandes's angry long-range shot swirls awkwardly and is pushed away to his left by Oblak. That's a fine save because he had to change direction.44 min Rodrigo De Paul gets a yellow card for a foul on Alex Telles.And now Atletico have taken the lead! Manchester United could be 45 minutes away from a fifth consecutive season without a trophy.Was Elanga fouled before the goal?We've seen a few replays now, and I'm not sure Elanga was fouled by Reinildo in the build-up to the Atletico goal. United are furious because they thought Elanga was fouled, but play continued and less than a minute later Atletico were in front.After some neat one-touch passing in midfield, Joao Felix backheeled the ball to Griezmann on the right. De Gea falls to his left to make a relatively comfortable save.49 min It's been a very aggressive start to the second half from United, powered by the perceived injustice of Renan Lodi's goal.46 min A terrific start to the half from United, who almost equalise within 35 seconds. Their defensive record this season has been unusually poor, but they still get high at the prospect of defending a 1-0 lead by foul means or fouler.52 min De Gea's loose clearance goes straight to De Paul, who chests the ball down and returns it with interest from 25 yards.
