Atletico Madrid 1-1 Manchester United LIVE! Champions League result, match stream and latest updates today

Atletico Madrid vs Manchester United LIVE!

Atletico Madrid kept old foe Cristiano Ronaldo in check but couldn’t hold on to their lead against Manchester United, conceding late on in a 1-1 draw in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 tie.

Joao Felix put the hosts ahead with a diving header seven minutes into the match, finishing a wonderful cross from Renan Lodi as Atletico got off to the perfect start.

Substitute Anthony Elanga equalised for United though in the 80th minute, shortly after coming off the bench at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium.

Atletico were in control during most of the match and twice hit the crossbar, including with an 86th-minute shot by Antoine Griezmann, but they will feel it’s an opportunity missed and have made their task a more difficult one when they travel to Old Trafford.

The return leg will be on March 15 in Manchester.
