The home team had a chance after a good performance against Tottenham at the weekend, but after 90 minutes, it was the away side that pulled off a shocker at Old Trafford, winning 1-0 and sending Manchester United out of the UCL for another season.

The goal that eliminated Manchester United from the UCL was a simple defensive instinct.

A good centre back would have seen the danger of a 2 v 1 Dalot and followed Koke's run. Instead, Maguire rushed back into Telles' zone, leaving Dalot with a 2 vs 1 and Lodi free. United had a bad defensive instinct, and Elanga, not trailing back, didn't help himself.

In the first half, Atletico had a goal disallowed for offside, and the second half, they scored by exploiting a gap between their center back and their left back.

It was necessary for the backline to do a better job compressing behind Maguire if the midfielder was aware that he was going to press into the midfield line.

Defensive play is a team effort that requires players to be closed down and gaps to be protected.
