Much was expected of today's second leg of the UEFA Champions League round of 16, but it went in favor of Atlético Madrid and Benfica, who both advanced to the quarter-finals with 1-0 victories away from home in a tight and difficult match.
And, as is customary, I offer to you the players' and team's performance for the day.
Atlético Madrid's Jan Oblak.
The Slovenian goalkeeper was a nightmare for the Red Devils and a hero for Atlético Madrid, making five saves, including four high claims, a foul, a clean sheet, and the player of the match award in a 1-0 victory at Old Trafford.Today's score is 2-1, and the overall score is 2-1.Atlético Madrid's Jose Maria Gimenez
The Uruguayan's aggressive skill at the heart of Atletico Madrid was a job well done, as his team advanced to the quarterfinals. He has six tackles, an interception, and a clean sheet to his credit.Atlético Madrid's Renan Lodi
The Brazilian fullback's excellent placement in the United box was one of the greatest techniques to possess as a player, and it was one of the best skills to possess as a player who did get his side all the needed victory in an easy goal off Antoine Griezmann's shot cross ball.
Alvarez, Edson (Ajax)
Edson looked fantastic in an Ajax shirt today, but his hard work was undone by Benfica in a 3-2 aggregate defeat. He had a fantastic game at the Johan Cruyff Arena, with four interceptions, five tackles, 90.0 percent accurate passes, and a few goal attempts.Atlético Madrid's Antoine Griezmann
Although the Frenchman's labor rate was insufficient today, his skills and tactics were greatly valued by his teammates, who were able to secure a berth in the following phase. He had the lone assist, as well as four tackles, two vital passes, and a couple of shots on goal, as United was eliminated from the competition.

Ajax were also defeated by Benfica at Johan Cruijff Arena after a blunder by Andre Onana allowed Alejandro Grimaldo to send a short cross to Darwin Nunez, who scored into the back of the Cameroon goalkeeper. The Cameroonian and Ajax both put in a poor showing.
