Manchester now have a huge advantage that they can play at home, with the 1-1 score in the bag. That's no guarantee they'll go through, but they're in a good starting position and I think they're heavy favorites too. Atletico are not a strong team on paper, but they have not convinced this season. United not always, but individually United are still far above Madrid. And Ronaldo knows better than anyone how to score goals against Atletico Madrid.
Actually, Manchester United will be more enthusiastic when playing at home with a 1-1 capital in their pockets because I believe that Manchester United will improve their performance in order to win at home and ensure that they qualify for the next round.
It's not all about a Ronaldo, but about how to play really well in order to win against Atletico Madrid.
manchester united has been an inconsistent team in terms of the way they play but they are managing to score goals and try not to concede goals, they are managing to solve the problems they have had since the past but on the other hand I'm talking about Atlético Madrid they are not doing well either they look like that strong team from last season, today they have been losing points with teams from very inferior positions in the la liga, i think manchester could have taken advantage of this opportunity to beat this weakened opponent, but they just wasted that good opportunity, I hope not next game will be different and manchester united will win the game
Ajax got a draw versus Benfica by 2-2 yesterday and they could have defeated Benfica too in fact. But I still don't think that this will cause a serious trouble for them in the second leg. I have zero expectation like Ajax would have a hard time destroying Benfica home. Benfica did a good job in Portugal and resisted them. But they can't do the same thing by the same effort to Ajax again. Ajax would demolish Benfica like they did to Sporting in the group stage of the tournament.
Tax actually could have won in the first leg at home to Benfica but they had to concede at the end of the match, so the match ended in a 2-2 draw, but this result was really deserved by Ajax Amsterdam considering they played as guests, but to go out alone we can predict that Ajax Amsterdam will win easily and qualify for the last 8 of the European Champions League this season, considering that Benfica is not a team that often surprises clubs that challenge for the European champions league title.
I was very surprised by this result, I did not expect that Benfica would be able to score many goals and get a draw, with this result I will not be surprised if Benfica wins in the next game
