After a convincing 4-1 defeat to Manchester City, Manchester United did exactly what they needed. They achieved a very important 3-2 victory against Tottenham and in that way at least briefly calmed all the dissatisfied fans. The most notable individual of that match was certainly Cristiano Ronaldo who scored a hat trick, but United fans may be worried that he, along with perhaps one or two teammates, deserved a positive rating from that match. There is no doubt that the Manchester United team is made up of exceptional individuals such as Ronaldo, Paul Pogba, Bruno Fernandez and others, but that is exactly part of the problem with the games they portray. Many times during this season, they could be seen playing as individuals, and very rarely do they play for a team and show team spirit. The match that awaits them today will be very demanding, especially at the tactical level. What the players of the home team need is a flawless match in which the team will be put ahead of individual successes. Today's opponent will certainly be a true indicator of whether the victory against Tottenham is just a momentary flash of the team or a sign of some better days at Old Trafford.

The team led from the bench by Diego Simeone all these years shows exactly what the United players have been missing lately, unity in the team. The main driver of energy in the Atletico Madrid team is the energetic Argentinian who, with his behavior near the out line, often knows how to raise a team on the field. After an unexpected defeat by Levante at home of 1-0, Simeone managed to elevate his team and they scored 4 wins in a row in the championship. Unlike some previous games from previous years, Atletico no longer plays in such a way that when they score a goal, they stop attacking. On all 4 mentioned victories in the championship, they scored a minimum of two goals. What pleases all the fans of the Madrid team the most is the final return to the form of Joao Felix, who has scored 5 goals in the last 5 games. The great Portuguese certainly couldn't have found a better moment for that, considering that the Champions League is the only competition left to Atletico Madrid until the end of the season, and they are certainly not ready to give up their participation in the 1/4 finals of this competition. The Manchester United defense, led by Harry Maguire, has often shown insecurity during the season. And the fast wingers available to Simeone will surely bother them. We have witnessed the fact that lately matches that are played on relegation very often end in a draw and are solved after overtime or after penalties. Both teams are of approximately very similar qualities and in this match I do not expect any particularly attacking and attractive football, but above all a careful approach to the game on both sides. However, I have to give a slight advantage to the experienced Simeone, who has had many games like this during his career and will surely know how to prepare his players in the right way for this match.

Prediction : Atletico Madrid not to lose

在4-1大败曼城之后，曼联做了他们所需要的。他们以3比2大胜托特纳姆热刺队，至少平息了所有不满的球迷。那场比赛最引人注目的人物当然是c罗，他上演了帽子戏法，但曼联球迷可能会担心，他和一两个队友在那场比赛中应该得到积极的评价。毫无疑问，曼联是由罗纳尔多、保罗•博格巴、布鲁诺•费尔南德斯等杰出人物组成的，但这正是他们所描述的比赛的一部分问题。在这个赛季的很多时候，他们可以被看成是一个人在打球，而很少会为一个团队打球，展示团队精神。今天等待他们的比赛将是非常苛刻的，特别是在战术层面上。主队的球员需要的是一场完美的比赛，在这场比赛中，球队将领先于个人的成功。今天的对手无疑将成为一个真正的指示器，来判断对热刺的胜利是球队短暂的闪光还是老特拉福德美好时光的标志。

这支由迭戈·西蒙尼领导的球队多年来一直在板凳上表现出曼联球员最近缺少的东西，球队的团结。马竞队的主要动力来自这位充满活力的阿根廷人，他在边线附近的表现常常让他知道如何在球场上带领一支球队。在主场1-0意外输给莱万特后，西蒙尼设法提升了他的球队，他们在锦标赛中取得了4连胜。与前几年的一些比赛不同，马竞现在的比赛方式是，当他们进球时，他们就会停止进攻。在所有提到的4场冠军比赛中，他们都至少进了2个球。最令皇马球迷高兴的是若昂·费利克斯的最终回归，他在过去的5场比赛中打进了5个球。考虑到欧冠联赛是马竞在本赛季结束前的唯一一场比赛，这位伟大的葡萄牙人当然没有找到一个更好的时机，他们当然不会放弃参加这场比赛的1/4决赛。由哈里·马奎尔领导的曼联的防守在这个赛季经常表现出不安全感。西蒙尼的快速边锋肯定会给他们带来麻烦。我们已经见证了这样一个事实，最近的比赛往往以平局结束，并在加时赛或点球后解决。两支球队都有着相似的素质，在这场比赛中，我不希望看到任何特别的进攻和吸引人的足球，但最重要的是，双方都在比赛中小心谨慎。然而，我不得不给经验丰富的西蒙尼一点优势，他在职业生涯中有很多这样的比赛，当然知道如何为他的球员准备这场比赛。

预测:马竞不输
