Atletico Madrid vs Manchester United LIVE: Champions League result, final score and reaction tonight

45 mins: SO CLOSE TO 2-0! A quick free-kick is played to Lodi and he fires in a cross which clips off the foot of Fernandes and Llorente can only direct it onto the underside of the bar and it bounces out!

Llorente was only six yards out but he had to adjust his body after the little deflection. United so, so lucky not to be two goals behind.

44 mins: Lindelof with a decent delivery into the middle which evades Rashford in the middle. It then comes back in from Sancho but again no player is on the end of it in a Manchester United shirt.

Kondogbia then frustrates Pogba once again as he shields the ball and draws a free-kick inside the United half.

41 mins: That’s so poor from Ronaldo. United work their way out of their own half well but Ronaldo then plays a sloppy pass towards Pogba and Atletico win a free-kick as the Frenchman attempts to try and win it back.

Ronaldo is then fouled by Vrsaljko and he complains to the ref once more before returning to the ground for some treatment.

Atletico quickly win it back and Kondogbia drives into the United penalty area before picking the wrong pass as he aims to find Felix. Kondogbia has been the man of the match so far. He has been running the midfield.

38 mins: Ronaldo has a shot! Finally a sniff of goal for the Portuguese superstar as he let’s fly from 25 yards out but it’s well wide of Jan Oblak’s right hand post.

It’s really not been his evening so far as Atletico have dominated (almost) the first quarter of this Champions League last 16 tie.

36 mins: Ralf Rangnick’s credentials as an elite manager are being put to the test tonight and so far he is coming up horribly short.

Ronaldo reacts stroppily again as Correa fouls him on the halfway line. He is not a happy boy at the moment.

United continue to pass the ball around aimlessly among their defenders. Atletico will eat that up all day.

33 mins: Ajax lead Benfica 2-1. Haller.

Meanwhile, Man Utd are having a nightmare right now. They give the ball away again and Varane concedes a foul right on the edge of the box on the left-hand side.

It’s whipped in and cleared away by Ronaldo.

Manchester United try to break but Ronaldo gives a free-kick away. He is fuming, but it was a foul.

31 mins: Every time Manchester United build their way out of their own half they look as if they are going to get caught in possession. It must be terrifying to watch as a supporter.

Ronaldo has dropped deeper and now appears to be playing on the right as Rashford takes up a more central role.

Varane nearly gives the ball away but another free-kick is given for a foul by Correa. It’s high-risk stuff.

29 mins: Sebastien Haller has just scored an own goal in the other game so Benfica and Ajax are now level at 1-1.

In Spain, Lodi and Correa link up superbly down the left-hand side (Lindelof is being toyed with on that flank) and the cross reaches Felix at the back post but he can’t keep his shot down.

Worth saying that Ronaldo has barely had a kick so far.

27 mins: Ronaldo feeds the ball down the right for Rashford and the Englishman sets off in pursuit. He pushes the ball in front of him and tries to beat Savic for pace but the former Manchester City man just about gets across with a full-blooded sliding tackle.

United have had 67 per cent possession so far but that does not tell the story at all. Since the goal, Atletico have been happy to sit in and United have barely laid a finger on them.

The Spaniards nick the ball midway inside the United half but the ref blows for a free-kick on Fred. It wasn’t. United get away with one.

24 mins: Dusan Tadic has given Ajax the lead against Benfica in the other Champions League game this evening.

Meanwhile, Llorente scoops a ball in towards Lodi at the back post but Lindelof is there to head behind and then the flag goes up anyway.

Atletico definitely winning the midfield battle at the moment. Fred and Pogba are being bypassed.
