Thank you for joining me for this second leg. Manchester United continue their historic run in this competition by knocking out Atlético Madrid 5-0. Bayern Munich are up next and it will be a difficult challenge but who knows what will happen in a competition like the Champions League. To recap all the action have a read of the report below, see you soon.

United head coach Marc Skinner told Disney +: “It feels fantastic, we have made history for the club again… We were ruthless at both ends and that is why we go through 5-0. It’s difficult, I can only give credit to the player available. It has been brutal the last block of games, we have had knocks and illness. I give credit to my team to still come out here tonight and win 2-0. Zigiotti wasn’t feeling great, that’s why I took her off at half-time.”
