UCL: Ronaldo Fires Blank as Man United Hold Atletico Madrid

Manchester United held Atletico Madrid to a 1-1 draw in Wednesday night’s UEFA Champions League encounter.

The round of 16 first league fixture, which held at the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano, saw Joao Felix give the home team a 7th minute lead from a Renan Lodi’s pinpoint cross.

United found the equalizer deep into the second with their first shot on target.

Substitute Anthony Elanga scored from a Bruno Fernandes assist barely 3 minutes after coming on for Marcus Rashford.

Antoinne Grizzman almost snatched a dying minute winner for the Spanish La Liga champions with a curler that left David Degea stranded, but only hit the woodwork.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who has had blistering scoring record against Atletico, fired blank in the entire 90 minutes of the game.

United however, go into the second leg in two weeks with an away goal advantage.
