It's Champions League night again! At 4:00 a.m. Beijing time on February 24, the Champions League quarterfinals, Atletico Madrid vs Manchester United. Felix blitzed the goal and Erlanga came off the bench to draw the two teams 1-1. The game was thrilling enough: Atletico hit the box twice and United were lucky to get a draw.
The last time Atletico and Manchester United met in Europe was 30 years ago. In the 1991–92 European Cup Winners' Cup, Ferguson's Manchester United lost 3-0 to Atletico. 30 years later, the two giants met again. The showdown between C Ronaldo and Felix is worth noting: Felix, whose transfer fee is as high as 126 million euros, has the nickname of "New C Ronaldo".
Just 7 minutes into the opening, Atletico broke the deadlock:
Felix does not offside
Atletico's corner kick was pushed out, outside the box, Lodi sent a cross, Felix's header rushed to the top, the ball hit the post, and Atletico took a 1-0 lead!
Manchester United defended this time, and fred did not put pressure on Lodi, who held the ball, who easily crossed. Captain Maguire's defense slowed down by half a beat, allowing "New Ronaldo" to score with an easy header. Felix scored his first goal in the Champions League of the season and manager Simeone shook his hand in excitement to celebrate!
Although United control the ball, they cannot create a threat. Just before half-time, Atletico almost scored another goal, and it was Lodi's cross again, and Fosarico's header hit the crossbar!

In the first half of Manchester United, the attack was lackluster, and the core B fee in the midfield was not in good shape and could not string up the attack. Lindelof, who played as a right-back, became the focus of Atletico's attack, and was hit by the crazy attacks of Lodi and Correa. Cristiano Ronaldo was alone, with only one long-range shot deflected off the half.
After taking a 1-0 lead, Atletico began to focus on the defense, and United gradually found the feeling of attack. Ronnick made a wide range of adjustments, with Wan-Bissaka, Nemanja Matic, Erlanga and Telles coming off the bench. In the 78th minute, Ronaldo attempted a free kick to attack the goal, and the ball went high over the crossbar.
In the 80th minute, Manchester United finally equalized: B Fei sent a wonderful straight, Erlanga quickly started to get rid of the defense, and a right-footed push from 15 meters broke the goal, 1-1! The 20-year-old youngster Elanga, after the first touch of the ball after the appearance, scored a key goal. Ronnick's life-beating substitution also had an effect.
United attacked with speed, impact and goals. B Fei's direct pass, Elanga's running position, single-knife push, is perfect. Atletico were too stable to pursue tactical ideas, almost gave up quick counterattacks, and could not hold the score of 1-0.
In the 87th minute, Griezmann's shot hit the crossbar and once again broke out in a cold sweat!
1-1, the two teams were tied and both sides could accept it. However, Manchester United became the only team in the Premier League's four giants who failed to win: Liverpool beat Inter 2-0, Manchester City swept Portuguese sport 5-0, Chelsea beat Lille 2-0, and only Manchester United failed to beat their opponents.
