It looked like Manchester United would leave the Wanda Metropolitano empty-handed after a poor performance, but Ralph Rangnick's decision to sub off Marcus Rashford for Anthony Elanga paid off.
The Red Devils' youngster scored a massive goal to put things level against Atletico Madrid in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League round of 16 tie. After 80 minutes, Elanga capitalized on a great assist from Bruno Fernandes to tie the game.
Atletico put themselves in front early in the game through Joao Felix, who scored a beautiful header after a great cross from Renan Lodi. Even though they were in control for much of the game, United hit back with 10 minutes to go for the final whistle.
