Manchester United travel to face Atletico Madrid in the first leg of an intriguing Champions League last-16 tie tonight.
With neither side at the level we’d have been accustomed to a number of years ago, chaos is likely to emerge over control as two of European football’s heavyweights meet in the Spanish capital.
While reducing a game of such magnitude down to one player might seem churlish, it’s hard to ignore the looming figure of Cristiano Ronaldo. So often the thorn in Atletico’s side, few would bet against him causing the LaLiga giants trouble again.

FT Atletico Madrid 1-1 Manchester United
I didn’t think I would be writing this 20 minutes ago but Manchester United have somehow got a result at the Wanda Metropolitano. They struggled to put two passes together all evening but have salvaged a draw against Atletico.
Rangnick, once again, changed the game with his substitutions and Elanga proved the difference from the bench for the second game in a row. Simeone will be fuming that his team were unable to make their pressure tell while his counterpart will take that result every day of the week
