Preamble
Hello and welcome to the second leg of the Women’s Champions League playoff between Manchester United and Atlético Madrid. The English club have the upper hand in this tie as they won the first leg 3-0 and now host the second to seal their spot in the quarter-finals.
Atlético will have to put in a perfect performance to try and wrestle a last eight spot back from United. Last week they did not take their chances when they had them but if they do this evening they could turn it around.
If United get through though they will be one of three English clubs in the quarters with Arsenal booking their spot last night and Chelsea already through, more on that shortly.
The team news will drop soon so stay tuned for all the updates before kick-off at 8pm GMT.
