There are just very interesting scores in the matches going on right now. Ajax and Manchester United both are 1-0 behind in their home matches. There are less than ten minutes left for each of these matches. I really wonder if these team both will be eliminated from the tournament. Ajax were the absolute favourite side to win against Benfica. Actually, they are dominating the match right now but it is still in vain. And I was hoping for Manchester United to advance but for now Atletico Madrid are doing a great job.

I didn't watch the Ajax vs Benfica match, but the statistics of this match are dominated by Ajax. So far Ajax have trailed by 1 goal from Benfica even though Ajax dominated almost 70% of this match, it doesn't look good for Ajax.

It would be great if Benfica came out victorious in this match and qualified for the quarter-finals. Now the game has entered injury time and Atletico and Benfica's chances of victory are getting clearer. Even Ronaldo did not get a good chance in this match even though he previously scored a heattrick against Tonttanham.

There is still 15 minutes left on the game and ManU is disappointing its fans as usual these days. Being kicked from CL at this point by ATM is ridiculous for a team like this, having many stars and playing in the best league in the world.

Tell that to PSG folks Grin

Lmao, so accurate Cheesy

So both teams with one of the highest spending in the past years failed to build a team that can compete vs other clubs in other leagues.. Otherwise getting kicked by Real Madrid is softer than losing vs ATM

Ajax didn't score yet in the other game. A late goal will be catastrophic in these two games

And Benfica just scored moments ago.

Yeah I saw that and I was like WTH is going on? Ajax was favourite, I don't remember the odds but the boys selecting Benfica to win might have at some point decent odds!
Few minutes left in both games and ManU + Ajax gonna leave round of 16.

After 1st half Manchester United is out from the Champions League.
They did nothing for 1 half and at the moment the result is fair.

Ajax however played 70% of the 1st half in their opponent's side and they deserved at least 1 goal.

I don't see it to be ridiculous, at least ATM is a top team in there domestic Laliga and also an elite team when looking at teams in the UCL too. In fact, they are a team capable of winning the UCL at any time. It's just that, it's too early to see Manchester United go. There might be arguably 10minutes on the clock and an even added time for possibilities. Perhaps a saving goal from Ronaldo but, I doubt any of that is going to surface in this game. ATM is a team that has matsersd the act of playing from a defensive side and even though Manchester United might be playing all the game, it's going to be so difficult getting an equalizer in this match.

Manchester United has been in control of the match, dominating the possession with positive energy to score Atletico Madrid. I wasn't expecting Atletico Madrid to score first in the first half because they weren't coordinated in the first half. Atletico's saviour this first half is their goalkeeper.
Manchester should work on their defence this second half. Only two attempts from Atletico were goals, which the first goal was cancelled cos it was offside

Maybe you haven't watched Atlético Madrid play in tournaments before. They don't need to dominate possession in order to win a game, and this is just one of those games. Manchester will have to dig deep via individual brilliance to put this one to extra time

Eyes still on the game at Old Trafford though as I've got a bet on Atletico (4/1) so I'm kind of hoping they get another goal to cushion the game and force Rangnick to bring on Pogba and ~~Varane~~ -- I meant Cavani of course.

Pogba is on now, Rashford and Cavani as well, the tension is building up in the game, MUFC pressing hard to get the goal but this Atletico Madrid defence is a tough nut to crack with very experienced defenders and they are good at soaking up pressure unlike what we saw from PSG last week. We are in the last ten minutes of play and if MUFC scores now, they may just win...Even in the Benfica- Ajax game, any team with the goal now wins.

Ajax did all the huffing but they're under fire in the second half. Need to have more killer instinct though or it's going to end badly even if they qualify to QF. Like they haven't matured or something.

It seems to be 50-50 whether Ajax will win or whether it will be a draw. Bookmakers don't believe in a win for Benfica at all. The new rule is also very disadvantageous for Ajax, who had played 2-2. With the old rule Ajax would just be through if this would remain 0-0. For the general football fan it is nice, half an hour of extra time and possibly penalties. Benfica will be relieved if it goes to penalties.

I would like to see Atletico Madrid reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League this season and I think Atletico Madrid still have a great chance of doing so in this match. The first half went according to plan with Atletico Madrid leading by 1 goal at Old Trafford, but I hope the second half Atletico Madrid can add at least 1 more goal to seal the win.

Ajax deserved to win this match and I am sure they will score the winning goal in the second half. Domination and high possession of the ball will give them the opportunity to create goals.

goallll, we saw Lodi score in the 41' minute. Manchester United's defense is really very bad but my big question is why there are no big changes made by Rangnick. the first half will end soon, hopefully in the second half, manchester united can return their face at home.

Man Utd 0 - 1 Atletico Madrid

Manchester United deserve to score. You can't dominate the possession without any intention to score but you expect to win. Atletico play perfectly tactically. Manchester United don't know what to do in the attack phase. The protection is tragic as always. Atletico plays with purpose, their plan was to seat back and counter. Once Atletico Madrid attacks, they look more likely to score. But as for Manchester united they just play with rush and no target. They have to improve of their last touches and passes. They are unable to create any good scoring opportunities just because their final passes are not good.

If Ronaldo, Pogba, Rashford, Sancho and Fred play well, it will be difficult for Manchester United to hold on. Coach Rangnick must help build bonds between all the players. And the match strategy has to be sorted that way.

Pogba and Rashford aren't in the starting eleven so let hope they get introduce in the second half as they are on the bench and get Manchester united going because currently I don't think they're playing like they what to win the game. I predicted Atletico winning and already they're 1:0 up in the first half. Atletico Madrid would now want to play a defensive football but just for the seek of enjoying good football, I hope they don't park the bus and just wait on countering Manchester united, this will just end up making the match a boring one.

Ajax-Benfica is goalless at the break but it seems Ajax are doing more of the pressing so if they keep up that momentum and don't run out of luck then it's just a matter of time before they break the defense of Benfica. Both matches hasn't been that Interesting to watch.

Indeed, the betting odds for Benfica are tempting for gamblers who want big profits, but it is not easy to beat ajax in its stronghold!! But we can go with a draw, it would be better than betting on a win for Benfica.

Can Atletico really not score in the first half tonight?

Ajax are the clear favorites in this match, we know well what Ajax can do when they get in the mood, they can score a lot of goals. It will be very difficult for Benfica to beat Ajax away. The Manchester United - Atletico Madrid match is very difficult to predict, anything can happen in this match, but I think that there will be few goals in this match.

Ajax have somewhat dominated the game in the first half but have not been able to make the most important use of those chances, I think this game will still provide at least two goals come the second 45 minutes, and Ajax is still going to be my pick.

Atletico Madrid stole an important lead against Man United, but they'll need tp be very organized defensively which haven't been their best characteristic this season, can Man Utd still pull this off though ? I guess we'll see!

Even at old Trafford, the game is still goalless. Manchester United have been poor this season, having numerous draws. United is a shadow of what we know as a top club and this is not just this season, this has been on for a long time. But in the last 25 minutes Manchester United have been very convincing. United looks like they are better off in this game.

Madrid is already leading with a 1 goal I know Madrid is going to give Manchester United a tough time in this match and winning will not come easy for Manchester United in this match, there is a high possibility the match will end with a draw as that has been the usual tradition for Manchester United this season. But if their can secures a goal it will become hard for Madrid to penetrate their defenses to equalize.

Man Utd 0 - 1 Atletico Madrid

Atletico Madrid is not a team that you will not want to score first against you, especially just before halftime...As they now have the lead, Diego Simeon will beef up defense. Looking at the line up, i was wondering why some players like Pogba where not included in the start up and why Maguire who has been in bad form still allowed to start and even captain the team. Good thing Ronaldo is playing and the likes of Bruno Fernandez back on the team from covid, if the coach brings in Pogba, MUFC may still have a chance IMO.

Ajax - Benfica game is still goaless, surely there must be a winner in both games today, no draws.

Ronaldo's performance against Tottenham has seen him return to form. And if Ronaldo is able to show such a performance against Atletico Madrid, then Atletico's defenders are not able to hold Ronaldo. Another advantage for Manchester United is that Atletico Madrid's defense is weak. So in this match, I will keep my money for Manchester United's favor.

I would say that Ronaldo already had a great game, and I am not entirely sure if he is still at an age where he could perform like that back to back.

I mean surely it looks like he is going to do well enough, but I am not sure if well enough to turn the tide of the game again. He did that against Spurs and that is a great game, and kudos to him for becoming the highest scoring person in clubs history, but at the end of the day this dude is like 100 years old and he will play a game so so back again after tiring himself so much. He could have a let down game all we know, and ATM could take advantage of that. With a weak defense on United as well, it's all possible.

0-1 for United after the first half. Nothing is lost yet, because if they were going to win the task has not changed in any way - they need to score a goal (but now it will give only a draw).
I don't want to be a pessimist but something tells me that the pendulum for United has swung again and today is an "unlucky" day for them. By the way, odds for United are very attractive now. Given the instability of both teams, anything is possible.

5,50 - 3,25 - 1,75

1.47 odds for Ajax to win the match. I think that's very low. When the match started, it was already around 1.40-1.50
That shows how much better Ajax is than Benfica in this match. I have more understanding for the odds in United's game. Atletico must be able to consolidate the score and then strike from a counterattack or a dead end to make it 0-2. But this match is one that could go either way, United are also able to win this 3-1. We will now see how good Ronaldo really is today.

The poor defense of Manchester United still seems to be a big problem in this match where so far there have been 2 goals from Atletico Madrid in the first half even though one of them was offside. Atletico Madrid have a strong defense and they are also very effective in attack, yes 0-1 now and I think Manchester United should do it in the second half.

Now the risk of betting on Manchester United has increased, but nothing is impossible to see them win. In another match, Ajax also still drew with Benfica.
