Manchester United knocked out of Champions League by Atletico Madrid

Manchester United have been knocked out of the Champions League in the round of 16 courtesy of a 1-0 defeat to Atletico Madrid in the second leg of their contest on Tuesday night.

The tie was delicately poised following a 1-1 draw in the first leg last month, but Renan Lodi’s first-half header at Old Trafford decided the tie, with the Spanish champions running out 2-1 winners.

Man United had a brilliant chance to make the breakthrough in the 13th minute when Anthony Elanga met a low cross from Bruno Fernandes, but Jan Oblak managed to make the save with his face, before David de Gea did brilliantly to keep out a long-range strike down the other end three minutes later.
