THE PREDICTION
A Cristiano Ronaldo-inspired Man Utd took all three points against Spurs in the Premier League over the weekend and they will likely need another magical performance from the legendary striker if they are to see off Atletico here. The tie is evenly balanced at 1-1 but Ralf Ragnick’s men were somewhat fortunate to come away from the first leg with a draw and Atletico have won all three La Liga games since then. The Spanish side will be content with keeping things tight and nicking the odd goal and with Man Utd not firing on all cylinders on a regular basis, this match could easily feature fewer than 2.5 goals in normal time.
