Manchester United are set to host Atletico Madrid in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League last 16 on Tuesday.

The match will kick off at 22:00 CLT.

What happened in the first leg?

United were second best for much of the first leg but somehow left Madrid with parity. Diego Simeone's side made a turbo-charged start and were ahead just seven minutes in thanks to João Félix's thumping header. Šime Vrsaljko hit the bar as looked to capitalise on their dominance, but United clung on and were level late on thanks to 19-year-old substitute Anthony Elanga's cool finish. Antoine Griezmann was then denied by the woodwork to compound the hosts' frustrations.
