It's official now. Even Manchester United's faintest hopes of lifting a trophy this season are over after they were eliminated from the Champions League by Atletico Madrid.
There are better teams in Europe than Atletico Madrid, but there's probably no better team at protecting a lead than Diego Simeone's snarling, sneaky rottweilers. The second half was barely a couple of minutes old when the first signs of frustration poured down from the Old Trafford stands and the Manchester United players quickly lost their heads as well.
Atletico Madrid knocked Manchester United out of the Champions League and moved into the quarter-finals after a 41st minute header from Brazilian Renan Lodi gave them a 1-0 (2-1 aggregate) win at Old Trafford on Tuesday. It was a typical display of the kind of gritty defending and swift counter-attacking for which Diego Simeone's Atletico side have been known while United, for all their pressure, were unable to create enough quality opportunities to get themselves the goal they needed.
Manchester United crashed out of the Champions League at Old Trafford last night and face a UEFA probe after Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone was pelted with missiles as he dashed down the tunnel at full-time.
Atletico Madrid drove the final nail in the coffin of a miserable season for Manchester United as Renan Lodi's header sent the Spanish champions into the Champions League quarter-finals with a 1-0 win at Old Trafford to progress 2-1 on aggregate. The Brazilian full-back headed in unmarked at the back post four minutes before half-time to end United's last chance of silverware this season as their drought without a trophy since 2017 goes on. United now face an uphill task just to get back into the Champions League next season as an under-performing squad filled with star names sits fifth in the Premier League.
Ralf Rangnick said the referee’s failure to award a free-kick in the buildup to Atlético Madrid’s winner was decisive as Manchester United were knocked out of the Champions League last 16.
Manchester United manager Ralf Rangnick lamented "curious refereeing decisions" but stopped short of claiming they were decisive in his team's exit from the Champions League at the hands of Atletico Madrid in Old Trafford tonight.
