Atletico Madrid 1-0 Man Utd
If United thought this was going to be an easy ride considering Atletico's poor form this season, they're very much mistaken.
Ralf Rangnick's men have plenty of work to do to get back into this game.
United are seeing more of the ball now but the hosts are happy to sit back and keep their shape.

Leon Osman
Former Everton midfielder on BBC Radio 5 LiveYou can't deny that Atletico have started really well. They have had Manchester United scrambling after they gave a sloppy corner away. They only half defended it
Fred is far too easily beaten and Joao Felix gets away from Harry Maguire. It is the perfect start for Atletico Madrid. Manchester United have just seemed started from the first whistle, they have been slow to react to things. They did not pick up and all ball watched.
GOAL - Atletico Madrid 1-0 Man Utdpublished at 20:07 Greenwich Mean Time 23 February 2022
Joao Felix (7 mins)
Deserved.
United have just not got going and fall behind inside the opening 10 minutes.
It's so easy in the end, Renan Lodi curls in a superbly shaped cross, Joao Felix gets ahead of Harry Maguire and sends a thumping diving header into the net via the post.
David de Gea was unmoved.

Atletico Madrid 0-0 Man Utd
The £100m man Joao Felix picks the ball up on the left and then runs straight at the United defence.
The Red Devils' backline doesn't engage allowing the Portuguese to strike a shot wide.

Leon Osman
Former Everton midfielder on BBC Radio 5 LiveIt is an interesting positional change at right back for United. You would expect Aaron Wan-Bissaka or Diogo Dalot on the right to give them a bit of comfort on the ball getting forward.
I am not sure we will get that from Victor Lindelof.

Atletico Madrid 0-0 Man Utd
United have started slowly and Atletico are swarming all over them.
Jose Luis Gimenez has space in the box, running on to a loose ball 10 yards out but Victor Lindelof makes a superb sliding challenge to block.

Kieran Trippier
Newcastle and England defender on BBC Radio 5 LiveGetting a win before tonight was crucial for Atletico. It was massive for the league, themselves and the momentum for tonight. They should feel positive and excited and enjoy it. These are the games you should enjoy as a professional.
Diego Simeone will be buzzing and flying around the dressing room. As soon as they walk out to play he will be relentless with the players.

Leon Osman
Former Everton midfielder on BBC Radio 5 LiveCristiano Ronaldo's record against most teams is remarkable but it is the big games where he always seems to turn up and this game is no different. He almost single-handedly seems to get Manchester United through the group stage with the big goals he scored.
He will be in for a tough night from the fans and a bit of stick but it is the kind of thing he will thrive off.

End of twitter postMaguire 'a top quality centre half'published at 19:52 Greenwich Mean Time 23 February 2022
Atletico Madrid v Man Utd (20:00 GMT)
Kieran Trippier
Newcastle and England defender on BBC Radio 5 LiveHarry Maguire is a fantastic captain and player and he has shown that over the years for club and country.
His leadership and the way he is around the place. He is one of those people who if you are going through a moment you can speak to him. He is a top quality centre half and he has proven that.
As soon as the whistle goes I can see Atletico flying out of the traps. The battle I am looking forward to is seeing Marcos Llorente versus Luke Shaw.
I know that Luke is fast as well but Marcos is lightning quick. I think tonight Madrid will try to win the game down their right side.

Benfica v Ajax (20:00 GMT)
Image source, Getty ImagesAjax have won all six of their games in the Champions League this season, which already represents the longest winning streak by a Dutch team.
Should the Erik ten Hag's side win tonight, their seven-game winning run would be the longest in the history of the competition by a team outside of the current big five European leagues.
But Benfica have kept a clean sheet in five of their last seven games in the Champions League, including each of their last two.
We'll have regular updates from that game as well tonight.

Benfica v Ajax (20:00 GMT)
Image source, BBC SportIt is an experienced centre-back pairing of Jan Vertonghen and Nicolas Otamendi for Benfica, who have another former Premier League player in the mercurial Adel Taarabt in midfield.
Up against that veteran Benfica defence will be a player who is also familiar to English football fans, and someone who has made their mark on Europe this season - yes, Ajax centre forward Sebastien Haller is setting the Champions League alight this term, scoring 10 goals in the group stage.
