Champions League LIVE: Man Utd eliminated by Atletico Madrid as Benfica take down Ajax

<p>That's all for tonight, and what a night it was.</p><p>Manchester United are out, Atleti are in and Benfica topped Ajax to book a spot of thier own.</p><p>We'll be back for more for the final two games of the Round of 16 so, untill then!</p>

That's all, folks

<p>"It was hard in the second half and always interrupted," he told BT Sport. "There was always somebody lying on the floor. </p><p>"I would also say some curious refereeing decisions. I wouldn't say they were decisive but at least he fell too often for those time-wasting antics and four minutes at the end added on was a joke for me."</p><br><br>

Rangnick critical of time-wasting Atletico Madrid

<p>With today's win, Atletico Madrid continue to torment England's best.</p><p>AtletMadrid have now eliminated all three English teams to have won the Champions League: Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea. </p><p>They’re the only side to have knocked out each of those three teams from the knockout stages in the competition’s history.</p>

Tormenting English clubs

<p>"We deserved the win in the first leg, but fought so hard here to get what we deserved from this tie," said the Atletico Madrid captain.</p><p>"We want to go far in the competition and it's incredible to still be in it. It's important for us to still be in the Champions League in what's an up-and-down season. </p><p>"For me, Jan Oblak is the best goalkeeper in the world. He's shown it once again tonight."</p>

Koke full of praise for Oblak

<p>"Of course it's not good enough," he told BT Sport. "It's hard for the club, for us and the fans. It's really hard. This is where we are at the moment. </p><p>"It's a difficult situation. We have to keep fighting. I feel very sad. But we were not good enough."</p>

'Sad' De Gea: Not good enough!

<p>This was just the third time in Ronaldo’s career he’s played 90+ minutes in a Champions League match and failed to record a single shot. </p><p>The other two? Man Utd's meeting with Panathinaikos in November 2003 and Real Madrid's clash with Barcelona in May 2011.</p>

Ronaldo held without a shot

<p>Paul Scholes isn't holding back on BT Sport.</p><p>"He seems like a nice man. Love his interviews, comes out and is very honest," he said on BT Sport. "I don't know how this man was chosen to be manager of Manchester United, not ustfor six months, not for six weeks, not for six games. I don't know."</p><p>Yikes.</p><p></p>

Scholes takes aim at Rangnick

Pogba, Rashford, Matic on

<p>Such a good chance for Man Utd, but they still find themselves down. </p><p>Dalot finds Sancho at the back post, but the England star's volley goes ust over the bar. So close for Man Utd.</p>

Man Utd go so close

Air Elanga

<p>De Gea has fired right back just seconds after Oblak's spectacular stop.</p><p>A long shot from De Paul is somehow pushed away by the Man Utd No. 1 as both goalkeepers have now made strong saved within the first 16 minutes.</p>

De Gea witha save of his own!

<p>Elanga could have a goal, and probably should have a goal, but Oblak said otherwise.</p><p>An absolutely incredible stop from the Atletico Madrid goalkeeper with his own face, leaving Elanga and just about everyone else at Old Trafford stunned.</p>

What a save by Oblak!

<p>Haller has put the ball in the back of the net and the stadium is ROCKING.</p><p>The excitement is all short-lived, though, as the goal is called back for offside.</p>

AJAX GOAL RULED OUT

<p>Some early action at Old Trafford as Elanga absolutely clatters Oblak while going for a header.</p><p>Was making a play on the ball, but Elanga was called for a foul regardless.</p>

Elanga collides with Oblak

<p>We're underway in Manchester and Amsterdam.</p><p>Here we go!</p>

Kickoff

<p>"I imagine a dynamic game, at times alternating in pressure - what usually happens in a stadium like this," Simeone said.</p><p>"We will also have our counter-attack to take advantage of any mistakes they make.</p><p>"They have a counter-attack too, which is one of their best weapons﻿."</p>

Simeone banking on Atleti counter

<p>Anthony Elanga is back in the starting XI for Man Utd as he was seemingly rewarded for scoring in the first leg in Spain.</p><p>When asked about the decision to start Elanga, Rangnick replied: "Yes [the goal helped], but this is not the only reason. It's also about verticality and about speed.</p><p>"We saw in the first leg this could be a major issue for us today."</p>

Big day for Elanga

Scenes from Amsterdam

<p>Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford are the obvious omissions from the Manchester United XI, with Ralf Rangnick explaining the decision to start with those two on the bench.</p><p>"Well, to start with, it was also about fresh legs and also about, as I've said, playing with a high level of aggression and energy," Rangnick told BT Sport.</p><p>"And that is why I decided [to select] this starting XI."</p>
