The English team cannot break the red-and-white lock, very safe at the back thanks to Oblak and Romero
Atlético de Madrid is beating Manchester United thanks to goals from Barrios and Ademola Lookman, which caused Lenny Yoro to be sent off shortly after entering the match. As the minutes passed, the English squad gained confidence and had two clear opportunities to tie the game. On the brink of half-time, Cardoso doubled the advantage for the red and whites, but his goal was annulled by the VAR, which ruled that there was a handball by Marcos Llorente in the preceding play.
