De Un Córner De HH Salió Un Golazo De João Félix, Pero El Atlético No Pudo Ante Manchester United
Con Héctor Herrera jugando los 90 minutos, Atlético de Madrid acabó con un amargo 1-1 ante Manchester United en Champions League.
Luego de un gran partido ante Osasuna, el fin de semana pasado, Diego Simeone volvió a darle un lugar como titular a HH. Y el mexicano no decepcionó. Fiero en el mediocampo y hasta con una incidental participación en el gol colchonero, el mediocampista tuvo un gran desempeño. Sin embargo, cuando el partido se iba y sin merecerlo mucho, el equipo inglés logró la igualdad.

Manchester United fans closely following this current campaign are well aware of young Anthony Elanga. The rest of Europe is now taking notice after the teenager salvaged a 1-1 draw against Atlético Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16 on Wednesday.

Pulisic Looked Brilliant With A Goal And His Best Performance Of The Season Vs. Lille
Christian Pulisic and Chelsea earned a 2-0 victory vs. Lille on Tuesday in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 clash. Pulisic put on a show for the London club with his best performance of the season by far.
The USMNT star was given the start in his favored left wing position and made the most of it. It could be my American bias, but I got tingles every time he was on the ball. Pulisic’s darting runs and movement on the ball continuously left Lille players on the ground in his wake.
Vlahović, McKennie Don’t Get Enough Support As Juve Can’t Hold On To Champions League Lead
Juventus is an odd club at the moment. The Old Lady, owner of a record 36 Scudettos, isn’t the same side that won nine straight Serie A crowns from 2011-2020. Talent is there, but not everywhere.

After navigating the group stage for the first time in Salzburg's history, the popular opinion was that Bayern was going to give the club a first leg beatdown along the same vein as Manchester City's 5-0 dismantling of Sporting.
