Honestly speaking it was a boring Wednesday UEFA champions league, although I was not expecting a very exciting match but this was below my expectations, Manchester United and ATM are two teams just finding there footings so a draw between them is a very fair results, now it's hard to predict who would win this challenge I would go for ATM and that's like 70% they have a more solid defense than Manchester United.
Well truly undeserved draw for the Manchester if the 1-0 was a good result to Manchester imagine this 1-1. Two woodwork for the Atletico one in the first half and one after Manchester goal.
Its seems like Atletico versus a team who have Cristiano its cursed. Its happen in Real Madrid , Juventus and seems to be happen again in Manchester.
Manchester United must have been happy with the draw. They played this match in Spain and the red devils have the power to take the rematch. In my opinion, this result is considered a good result. Of course, it would have been better if they had won, but we should not forget that Atletico Madrid is the team that won La Liga last year.Its seems like Atletico versus a team who have Cristiano its cursed.

Luck is still with Man United Anthony saves the team from defeat as well as the opportunity for Man United to qualify for the next round in the 2nd leg just need a draw goalless
I'm not sure Man united loses at home, Champions League matches are different from local matches everything will be done as we saw in today's game, when we thought Man united lost today but it didn't.
At Ajax it has now become 2-2. It was well deserved, Benfica was attacking all the time and Ajax was put under pressure. That will be disappointing for Ajax, 2x in front and now it is 2x equal. It could also be that Benfica will win this match, that would be very special. There are still plenty of opportunities in the other game. Atletico still leading the dance.
Benfica played much better in the second half. They are currently tied 2-2 against Ajax. To tell the truth, I expected Ajax to play a game with plenty of goals in this match. However, this game of Benfica completely changed my thinking. Now there is an open match for every score. In the second leg, Benfica can pass.
Benfica really chased the goal in the second half and attacked heavily. Its insane how much fast players Benfica has,didnt see so many fast players in one team. Too bad Ajax didn't win the match. Also, Man Utd was able to score a goal and get that draw that is for them huge.
Before the start of the match Ajax was a huge favorite with the bookmakers to win, I have seen average odds around 1.70 on various betting sites. Thought that was a bit on the low side. Ajax is better, but tonight it was close together and Benfica also had enough opportunities to even win. Ajax missed some chances on the 1-3 and then the 2-2 fell on the other side of course. Probably Ajax will finish this at home with the support of the home crowd. Nice to see that Benfica was now almost completely full.
Ajax is currently in a better phase than Benfica. Yet that now seems broken by Benfica, they needed this small success. I certainly consider Benfica opportunities, but playing at home in Lisbon or away in Amsterdam, yes that is quite a difference for these teams. I also read something about a new rule with home and away goals that this would no longer apply, that would be especially disadvantageous for Ajax and United if the duels ended in 0-0 and 1-1 respectively, for example.

I won't say Atletico Madrid messed up there chances of bagging all 3 points but the Manchester United goal was way too cheap for Jan Oblak not to have made a good save of it. Anthony Elanga wasn't even properly positioned to take that shot bit he did anyway and somehow, with the laxity of Oblak, it found its way into the net and earned Manchester United the draw they so much desired. Its unto the next game though, I can't say Manchester United impressed me tonight. Just 2 shots on target in all the games meanwhile, Atletico Madrid had so many missed chances.
I don't think this is purely Oblak's fault even though he was too forward but on the other hand there was a wrong movement of some of their defenders that made this happen and indeed the assists given were quite difficult for me.This is a good thing for United because when they lock up but can't do much then fishing out is the solution and the strategy they implement is quite good I think

Edit : lol I edited this because Elanga just scored and its 1-1
Just so you know, the away goal rule was scraped, so it changes the dynamics of the tournament a bit. Even when this match ends in a draw, I am still not confident if Manchester United can keep their consistency on and win the home game.[/quote]Yep, the new regulation related to the away goal is implemented. There is nos special away goal anymore.
So, both clubs must do their best in the second leg, to score higher than the other. So, they will win the game.
In this case, MU should have better motivation to play at home in the second leg.
But, we know that sometimes, this club also cannot utilize this to win the game and moreover probably will be the opposite. BUt we also know that Atletico Madrid also often plays unsatisfied during this season. Both clubs so far often dissatisfy the result with their unpredictable games (bad).
But, let's see.

I've seen Manchester United play the ball more and pass more. However, it was Atletico Madrid that went on to attack more. The goal they found towards the last minutes gave them a breath of fresh air. Now they will try to finish the job in the rematch. Benfica has really fast players. They played the best they could. Ajax finished their group with a 6/6 win. I think a draw with such a team will give them an advantage.

Like it or not, that's the end result. Manchester United will no longer be well developed. So it's difficult for anyone to bet for Manchester United with their condition becoming increasingly unclear. The final result is a draw of course makes Manchester United increasingly have no provisions in the Champions League. Its seems like Atletico versus a team who have Cristiano its cursed.

Although I am a little disappointed with the result of the Benfica vs Ajax match, because Ajax should have won the match. But the draw result at Benfica
home, of course this is still a pretty good result for Ajax. To be honest Benfica's game especially in the second half was beyond my expectation, they were
so offensive in the second half, no wonder finally managed to score a goal in the 72nd minute. It seems Ajax underestimated Benfica too much after winning
in the first half, and let Benfica build on the attack in the second half. This is a lesson for Ajax never satisfied after winning 2-1, Ajax should have kept
attacking and creating more goals, but the fact that Benfica in the second half put more pressure on Ajax and dared to attack. Hopefully in the second leg
Ajax can play even better, because Ajax is playing at home, this is an advantage for Ajax.
2 draws, but certainly no boring matches. At Benfica's match, it could have gone two ways as to who would continue with the win. I don't know whether Benfica or Ajax is more satisfied with this. Ajax has been in favor but a draw in an away game is crucial. Ajax and United now certainly have the best papers to advance to the next round.

Another goal within ten minutes just like the two previous matches. Good delivery and a great finish by Felix. It would be a shame if Man United could not equalize with all thst time they have with the ball. Already placed a few bucks on them to score the next goal.
Poor possession of the ball for Manchester United due to too many short passes which was finally taken easily by Atletico Madrid, I think if it continues to play like that Manchester United will find it difficult to score goals with Atletico Madrid's very aggressive game.It's been some time since I last won for betting on Man United hehe. Iost more but I'm still glad I get something.
