13 mins: CHANCE!
Lovely from Dalot to ride two challenges and Fernandes picks out Elanga – who has to score…
The winger arrives at the near-post and somehow doesn’t convert, it either ricocheted off the post or was tipped away by Oblak at point-blank range.
11 mins: A chance now for Atletico to sit on the ball and draw some energy out of those United legs.
The Red Devils are ready to press but their opponents are well versed in dealing with it.
8 mins: More from United as Ronaldo, whose spent much of the opening exchanges drifting wide left, wins a corner.
It goes short and, after an Elanga cross is cleared, they settle in for a prolonged spell of possession.
5 mins: A first Atletico move forward is snuffed out by Varane, another ex-Real man facing his old neighbours.
United break quickly but Telles whips a cross out for a goal kick. The hosts look really up for this.
3 mins: First half chance of the game as Elanga leaps, Ronaldo-esque, to challenge for a cross with Oblak.
The header goes over with a slightly harsh foul awarded for the winger clattering the Slovenian, who needs a moment to recover.
2 mins: Ronaldo has his first involvement wide on the left and offloads the ball nicely before a Koke foot lands after the ball is played.
A looping pass towards Fernandes ends up out of play after a hopeful flick from the playmaker.
