Manchester United vs Atletico Madrid 15.03.2022

After re-igniting their top-four hopes with a 3-2 win over Spurs, Man United will turn their attention to this Last 16 Second Leg tie against Atletico Madrid. In this tie, United will hope to overcome their inconsistencies and remain in contention for a trophy that last won in 2008.

For Atletico, a run of 3 consecutive wins in the last 5 indicates how hard they have fought to recover from an initial blip earlier. This is however a tricky tie given that the last two trips to England have all ended in defeat. In fact, 3 of 4 times they failed to win a first leg knock-out tie at home, Atletico have been eliminated. This means Simeone’s men face a daunting task in this game.

With the tie set at 1-1 on aggregate and with away goals out of the picture, this will certainly be an entertaining tie. Going by his experience in the Champions League, we expect a lot from Ronaldo here. To this end, we are backing the Portuguese to score at anytime in this game.
