Manchester United – Atletico Madrid

Atletico Madrid: Oblak, Savic, Giménez, Reinildo, Llorente, Herrera, Koke, De Paul, Lodi, Joao Felix, Griezmann
Ajax – Benfica
The team led by Eric Ten Hag will have to win at home, having been under scrutiny in the first leg of the Round of 16 in Lisbon (2-2), a task that appears to be in their line in the wake of their striker Sebastian Haller (11 goals in C1).
