Atlético de Madrid - Manchester United, the Champions League match live | United look for an equalizer

The red and white team is looking for its first victory in the continental competition after having begun its journey with a defeat

Atlético de Madrid are beating Manchester United thanks to an early goal from Pablo Barrios. Those led by Simeone began the match with clear dominance over the visitors. Opposite, the English squad has had a bad start to the season: six points in the same number of games in the Premier League, its worst start since 1986. The Red Devils have not been able to find the right key to regain sporting success since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013. Simeone is betting, as he did in Liverpool, on Julián Álvarez as his striker in the eleven.

Second fastest goal in Atleti's Champions League

Barrios' goal at 47 seconds is the second fastest in the Champions League in the history of the red-and-white club. The first was that of Conor Gallagher at 27 seconds against Real Madrid in March 2025.
