Result<\/h2>\n

Manchester United and Atletico Madrid played out the second of two Champions League Round of 16 ties on Tuesday evening.<\/p>\n

The score was level at 1-1 after the first leg in the Spanish capital, but with away goals no longer counting for anything, United did not have much of an advantage heading into the reverse fixture at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

Atletico looked to have taken the lead in the game but Joao Felix\u2019s effort was ruled out for offside. There was no flag 40 minutes in though when Renan Lodi headed in a cross after easily peeling away from Diogo Dalot.<\/p>\n

From here, Atletico did what they did best, time wasting constantly and winding up the United players and staff to see out the game and book their spot in the next round.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Manchester United player ratings<\/h2>\n

David de Gea (6) \u2013 Made an excellent save 15 minutes in to deny Rodrigo de Paul. Had little else to do after that.<\/p>\n

Diogo Dalot (3) \u2013 Pushed too high up the field allowing Atletico to get in behind easily. Poor tracking of Lodi for his goal.<\/p>\n

Harry Maguire (3.5) \u2013 Poor start to the game, failing to clear the ball and put in a decent tackle. Another questionable showing from the United captain. Off after 83 minutes to the loud cheer of United fans.<\/p>\n

Raphael Varane (5.5) \u2013 Won most of his duels and tried his best to start attacks from deep. Head a header saved from a free-kick towards the end of the game.<\/p>\n

Alex Telles (4) \u2013 Like Dalot he was too high up the pitch when the away outfit had possession, allowing Atletico forwards in behind a number of times.<\/p>\n

Scott McTominay (4) \u2013 Struggled to deal with Atletico\u2019s attack, which was likely due to him being used as the only sitting midfielder. Hooked after 67 minutes.<\/p>\n

Fred (6.5) \u2013 A lively start to the clash that included him passing an Atletico defender with some clever skill. Looked much better deployed in a more advanced role alongside Bruno Fernandes, leaving Scott McTominay as the sitting United midfielder. Less of an impact in the second half. Off after 75 minutes.<\/p>\n

Bruno Fernandes (5.5) \u2013 Played a great ball to Elanga early in the game. Created a few more decent chances after that which came to nothing. Somewhat surprising to see him taken off with over 20 minutes of the 90 left.<\/p>\n

Jadon Sancho (5) \u2013 Had little impact in the first half. Volleyed over a Dalot cross shortly before the hour-mark, probably should have done better. Did little else of note.<\/p>\n

Cristiano Ronaldo (3) \u2013 Didn\u2019t manage a single shot throughout the game apart from an offside overhead kick. A poor showing in what was potentially Ronaldo\u2019s last ever Champions League game.<\/p>\n

Anthony Elanga (5) \u2013 Should have done better with a Fernandes cross early on, his effort came off Jan Oblak\u2019s head. An energetic display but failed to create too much. Also did not get back and help Dalot out enough.<\/p>\n

Subs<\/strong><\/p>\n

Paul Pogba (3) \u2013 Did not create any chances when he came on, also failed to keep the likes of Marcos Llorente and De Paul quiet.<\/p>\n

Marcus Rashford (3) \u2013 Saw plenty of the ball when he came on but did little with it.<\/p>\n

Nemanja Matic (4) \u2013 Passing was solid but he failed to have the same impact he had in the first leg.<\/p>\n

Edinson Cavani (2) \u2013 Had five touches whilst on the pitch.<\/p>\n

Juan Mata (N\/A) \u2013 Only on the pitch for 11 minutes, had little of the ball.<\/p>\n

What they said<\/h2>\n

David de Gea:<\/a>\u00a0\u201cWe are really disappointed with the result. It\u2019s difficult to put into words how we feel now at the moment. We did not enough in both games to win it. It\u2019s a very disappointing day for us.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are a team with a lot of experience. They know how to play those Champions League games. They scored a goal then are a tough team so it was hard for us to create chances. We are out of one of the most important competitions so we are very sad.\u201d<\/p>\n

0 \u2013 For only the third time in his Champions League career, Cristiano Ronaldo tonight played 90+ minutes in a match in the competition without having a single shot; the others were for Man Utd v Panathinaikos in November 2003, and for Real Madrid v Barcelona in May 2011.
