Maybe we haven't watched a very impressive match so far but we have still two goals at least. And Manchester United have a big opportunity in their hands to advance to the next round by scoring the equalizer a little time ago. If Atletico Madrid can't get ahead again, I'll be starting to think strongly that Manchester United are going to be a few steps ahead to qualify for the quarter finals. But these teams are still close to each other in strength so I don't want to be prejudiced about it already now.

Atletico are ahead again maybe this won't happen because until now the game will be finished and going into extra time they are just busy defending and defending, nothing more than that lol.
The game aimed at United was quite impressive today even though they are the visitors and in quite a pinch because they were not focused in the early minutes of the game but they are quite good now.
Draw matches again and again only PSG, City, Liverpool and Chelsea now have set one foot because indeed they are already ahead in the First Leg

Winning in UCL is a pretty big deal especially in the 1st leg because it will makes the 2nd leg seems a little bit easier as the team wont be pressured that much to win but in this case, I dont see how United would win against Atletico so if we get to score a goal and get a draw on this game then its pretty much good enough for the 2nd leg.

Well what can you expect from Maguire, as usual this guy deserved to be benched forever

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.

Well, Atlético Madrid are in the same boat as united when it comes to being inconsistent, but strange things happen in football.

I don't think United will go all in, it makes no sense, this is the first match and it is much more profitable to lose 1-0 now and fix everything at home than to rush into the attack now and lose due to counter attacks with a larger score.
Ajax is awesome. The top scorer in the Champions League this season has already scored two goals, but one in his own net Grin

1-1 seems like a great result fire United. Atletico will now be excited, perhaps United will look for the 1-2. Why not? They are definitely better as a team and Atletico will be very disappointed with the goal against. But these kinds of matches often end in 1-1 because both sides don't want to take any risks in the last 10 minutes of the match. That also applies to Benfica against Ajax where it is still 2-2.

Seems not to bad the 1-0 for the Manchester United after playing really bad and Atletico having two big chances missed.
In Old Trafford maybe Macnhester wake up and CR7 wake up also, and we know how much CR/ likes to score versus Atletico MAdrid

I still remember the 3 goals in the Juventus stadium.

Atletico Madrid's goal seems pretty clear, make sure United don't score a goal and hold it 1-0 and take it to Manchester in a few weeks. Perhaps the best strategy. Risking to force that 2-0 might just give United the 1-1. If it stays 1-0 for Atletico, then I think we're going to see some kind of 50-50% who will qualify in the return in England. We can certainly expect a lot of spectacle there.

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.

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.
and I feel sorry to see Ronaldo never getting good passes from anyone because I hope he scores goals.

Manchester united I actually leading in possessions and passes completed. But Athletico Madrid is leading in goal and also leading in attack both dangerous attack.
Manchester united has never find a way to proceed forward in the game. Athletico Madrid studied them well and is giving them very hard marking.
Ronaldo is already sad because he is being handled rough and he doesn't have chances. Pogba is not doing well in the middle and Maguire I can say is the cause of the goal felix scored because he left him unmarked.
Let us see how the second half will go.

really unsatisfactory, even though 65% of the ball possession is at MU but they still can't score a goal. it is very noticeable that the ATM is playing "defense". they know that Manchester United is a pretty difficult team, Ronaldo looks a little frustrated because he can't score a goal for Manchester United in this match.

Even it's disappointing for Manchester United they have good ball possession but still unable to deliver any goal but good thing Atlético Madrid is leading by only one goal which is also not bad at all for visiting team Manchester United because they have some good firepower, and they can turn tables for good at home against them.

Right now, match is in 65 minute with still very long way to go if home team have another goal then surely it's going to be bad for them but this result or draw is surely going in visitors favour. In other match Ajax is leading match through 1 - 2 which is usual from them, and they are going to be in next stage after having this win because Benfica's journey is going to end at Ajax home without any serious trouble from them.

The second half is currently just starting and there is still enough time for them to catch up.
At the moment it's really just a matter of waiting for Atletico to be careless in their defense because it will be very difficult when playing with a team where almost all of the players are in their own defense area.
I think even if they don't play to win maybe the end of the game will be a draw now.

Watching the Man United vs Atletico match was a little boring, there were no good attacks, I think Man United was a little depressed because they didn't find a good chance even I doubted the victory at Atletico's house.

Yeah a bit boring Manchester United only control the ball position without dangerous attacks even only able to make 2 shots somehow they can win or draw
If there is no more goal then Manchester United can still catch up on aggregate in the second leg but if Atlético scores the 2nd goal then Manchester United over
Chasing 2 goals is difficult for Manchester United in this situation.

The match at Ajax has so far become a true spectacle. 1-2 at halftime and possibly many more goals to come. In Atletico's game, only 1 goal was scored at half time, but to be honest I didn't expect much else. United will certainly be pushing to get that equalizer as quickly as possible. Losing 1-0 is very dangerous and that could mean elimination. Can Ronaldo turn the tables around?

Of course, Ronaldo and his teammates can turn the situation around. Manchester United has that power. Still, 1-0 Atletico Madrid is leading. In the other match, Ajax scored 3 goals, but they are ahead 2-1 because they scored one of their own goals Grin

. Haller managed to score both an own goal and a goal against Benfica. In the match, Ajax seems more active and more goals will be scored.

And my favourite teams in those games are Manchester United and Ajax. Actually I don't think Manchester United will win but they would get a draw I assume. And Ajax would defeat Benfica in this game and capture a solid advantage.

Man United against Atletico Madrid, it is quite difficult to predict because both will play solidly, which may prefer to draw in Man United's match with Atletico Madrid. As for Ajax against Benfica, I try to choose Ajax who still has a high performance at the moment in addition to Benfica which is still relatively in a less than optimal state.

Watching the Man United vs Atletico match was a little boring, there were no good attacks, I think Man United was a little depressed because they didn't find a good chance even I doubted the victory at Atletico's house.
Ajax will certainly be more favorites I have a bet on I believe away is not a problem for Ajax this will be a full win because I assume the same but different to Man United.

If Atletico didn't have such problems with the game in defense, I would say that Atletico would win today, but when it became the norm for them to concede several goals in one game, it became very difficult to predict the results. Manchester United is not at all clear to me what they are capable of, they still need a good coach. And Ronaldo alone is not capable of bringing victory to Manchester United, although he still consistently scores goals.

Atlético Madrid as far as I know is a team that has reliable strength in the defensive area so usually they won't concede more goals in every game even if they lose. I support Atletico Madrid to win this match because as far as I know Manchester United are not promising this season to favorite.

The result of the match may be different from most predictions but Atletico Madrid vs Manchester United is the most interesting match in my opinion. The odds are the same for both, so I think it will be a little hesitant to choose which one will win the match when we want to bet even though Atletico Madrid seems to have my attention.

I think this match is indeed balanced so the bookmakers offer the same odds when betting but I doubt Man United in the UCL this season their game is less interesting and different from Atletico which is usually impressive when the game for me this will not be far for Atletico Madrid's victory as the host Instead I chose Atletico as a bet because I rely on it at home for them. Atlético Madrid's defense is strong enough to withstand attacks from Man United strikers.
My heart is quite calm Atlético has taken the lead by one goal, in the second half it was decided who would win, this is worth watching even though the other matches are also exciting.

It is a very poor First half performance from Manchester united. I don't understand why they have to keep playing the ball at their own half when they cant make crosses over. Manchester united midfield is not just functioning. Bruno and Paul Pogba, no movement, poor control and can’t seem to hit a pass. That’s why Atletico Madrid is breaking on them at ease. Bruno rarely shows up in a big game, someone have a word with him. Atletico Madrid is very aggressive and you can't relax on the pitch. Manchester united need to move the ball fast and the wingers are not making runs, they get the ball and they want to wait for it on the line.
