Cristiano Ronaldo was the orchestrator of a vital win for Manchester United on Sunday but he could not galvanise his side to Champions League glory on Tuesday night after his side were beaten 1-0 by Atletico Madrid.
Atlético 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.
Manchester United will end a fifth successive season without a trophy after bowing out of the Champions League at home to Atletico Madrid.
Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea said after defeat to Atletico Madrid on Tuesday night that his side were ‘not good enough’ having gone five years without a trophy. United’s last success came under Jose Mourinho when he won the League Cup and Europa League back in 2017, and the club then finished second in the following season. However a disappointing transfer window saw the Portuguese manager leave the club to be replaced by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, with inconsistent performances ever since.
A first-half header from Renan Lodi was enough to take Atletico Madrid into the last eight of the Champions League against a Manchester United side who played well enough but ultimately lacked a killer instinct at both ends of the pitch. They did not look like potential winners of the trophy, but no side will fancy facing them in the next round. United were the better side in an entertaining first half and should have taken the lead through Anthony Elanga, but his shot hit Jan Oblak on the head.

Manchester United will end a fifth successive season without a trophy after bowing out of the Champions League at home to Atletico Madrid. Long since out of the Premier League title race, Ralf Rangnick's Red Devils saw their final route to silverware slammed shut by Diego Simeone's wily, well-drilled side on Tuesday evening. United failed to build on their scarcely-deserved draw in the first leg of this last-16 clash in Spain, with Renan Lodi's first-half header securing a 1-0 Old Trafford win as Atleti progressed to the quarter-finals.
