A knockout round of the Champions League without a favorite. This is what seems to emerge if we observe the form of the two teams in the league. Fifth in La Liga, Atlético receives the Red Devils, fourth in the Premier League, on Wednesday February 23 at the Wanda Metropolitano in Madrid. Manchester United, often better on the outside, arrive in form with two consecutive victories (against Leeds and Brighton). Atlético have just raised their heads with a 3-0 success against Osasuna, a few days after suffering the lightning of Levante, bottom of La Liga.
The two teams have only faced each other twice in history, in the Champions Club Cup in 1992. Bernd Schuster’s Atlético then won after both matches. Follow this new generation duel live.
