Man United were the most dangerous team in the early stages. And yet it conceded an early goal. Zapata served Ilicic, who kicked in through De Gea. 1-0 after twelve minutes. United were upset and to make matters worse, Varane was also injured. Doom and gloom for the Red Devils. Until Cristiano Ronaldo – again he – signed for the equalizer. And that after a Portuguese get-together. Bruno Fernandes played to his compatriot with a wonderful heel and ‘CR7’ scored in his fourth consecutive CL match.

Up and over? Anything but. In fact, Atalanta took the lead again. The deep Zapata trumped Maguire and beat De Gea (2-1). That also seemed to be the winning goal. Léék, because Cristiano Ronaldo dissolved his devils in the 91st minute. He hit the net in one go to make it 2-2. ManU thus remains the leader in group F, with 7 points. Villarreal is second with the same number of points. Atalanta (5 pts) and Young Boys (3 pts) are third and fourth respectively.
