The game between Manchester United and the last season Spanish La Liga champion, Atletico Madrid in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League knock stage ended in a 1-1 draw at Wanda Metropolitano. Joao Felix put the host ahead in the seventh (7th) minute but Anthony Elanga came to the Red Devils' rescue in the eightieth (80th) minute to level the scoreline.
Fortunately, two (2) records were set in the game which are:
Manchester United and Portuguese midfielder, Bruno Fernandes continued with his fantastic stats for the club as he became the first player in UEFA Champions League history to provide an assist in six (6) consecutive games for an English club. He broke the record set by the club's former player, David Beckham who provided an assist in five (5) consecutive games in the competition in 1998.
Indeed, the Swedish and Manchester United young star, Anthony Elanga was a superb replacement for Marcus Rashford as he was on target in the UEFA Champions League for the first time. He came in to make an instant impact for Manchester United as he scored the equalizing goal to earn the club a draw. His 80th-minute goal made him become the youngest Swedish goalscorer in the UEFA Champions League at the age of nineteen years, three hundred and two days (19 years, 302 days).
