Cristiano Ronaldo was in inspired form at the weekend, scoring all three goals in Manchester United's 3-2 victory over Tottenham Hotspur. Interim head coach Ralf Rangnick will be hoping for similar levels of inspiration for tonight's second-leg quarter-final clash with Atletico Madrid.
Ronaldo's late goals home and away against Villareal and Atalanta were a key factor in United's qualification from Group F. He also has a typically incredible record against tonight's opponents, scoring 25 goals in 35 career matches against Atletico.
Diego Simeone's men have, however, started to pick up a good run of form in recent weeks. They have won five out of their last six La Liga matches and are currently embroiled in their own tense battle for Champions League qualification along with Barcelona, Real Sociedad, and Real Betis.
