Atletico Madrid host Manchester United at Estadio Wanda Metropolitano on Tuesday, October 13 (3:00 PM ET \/ 2:00 PM CT \/ 12:00 PM PT).<\/strong><\/p>\n

No fresh fitness concerns have surfaced for either side, and both arrive with clear pictures of who leads the way. Atletico Madrid’s threat starts with Juli\u00e1n Alvarez, who put three shots on target and claimed an assist in their opening match, alongside midfielder Marcos Llorente Moreno, who scored the only goal they managed. Pablo Barrios Rivas and Alejandro Baena Rodr\u00edguez add the creative support through the centre of the park. Manchester United will again lean on Bruno Fernandes and Matheus Cunha, who both scored in their opening win, with Benjamin \u0160e\u0161ko and Bryan Mbeumo offering further options off the bench or from the start.<\/p>\n

Atletico Madrid shipped two goals in their own defeat to Liverpool, a sign their defence can be got at, while Manchester United’s attack has already shown firepower with four goals in one outing. Both teams have scored in their opening matches, and with Alvarez and Llorente Moreno capable of adding to Atletico Madrid’s own tally, an open game looks the likely shape of this one \u2014 with the home side’s extra threat in behind just about expected to nose it in a 2-1 finish.<\/p>\n\n\n
