Joao Felix, with a near-plumb header, scored a wonder goal, with the help of the post, to beat David de Gea and put Atletico ahead in the seventh minute.

'O menino de oro' appears on the big occasions, and on a night like Wednesday night, in the Champions League and in the Wanda Metropolitano, it only took him seven minutes to be the protagonist.

Atletico, who had already warned in the match, took the lead at the start of the match. Lodi, a winger with a five-man defence, got as far as three-quarters of the pitch.

The Brazilian lifted his head and saw the United defence in front. Joao Felix, between the lines, waited for just the right moment to score past Maguire.

Joao Felix dived like Luis Suarez to score a header that, before kissing the net, hit the woodwork of De Gea's goal, who could do nothing.
