Atletico Madrid Defeat Man Utd in Champions League Clash

Atletico Madrid defeated Manchester United 2-0 in the Champions League at the Wanda Metropolitano on Tuesday, October 13, 2026, with Pablo Barrios scoring early and Ademola Lookman adding a late goal after Leny Yoro was sent off.

According to Sky Sports, Manchester United conceded after 47 seconds when Atletico broke through with a pass over the top before Alex Baena provided the assist for Barrios. The result extended United's winless run to five games in all competitions.

Atletico's second goal came in the 79th minute through substitute Ademola Lookman, five minutes after Yoro received a straight red card following an on-field review by referee Glenn Nyberg, according to Sky Sports.

Sky Sports reported that Yoro was judged to have denied Atletico forward Jonathan David a goalscoring opportunity after a collision inside United's half. The decision followed a review by the referee.

"It is soft! No way, that should not be a red," said Clinton Morrison on Soccer Special.

United created chances despite struggling overall, with Bryan Mbeumo sending a deflected effort narrowly wide and Bruno Fernandes hitting the crossbar after missing an opportunity on a counterattack, according to Sky Sports.

Atletico also had a goal ruled out before halftime when Johnny Cardoso's effort was disallowed after Marcos Llorente was judged to have handled the ball in the buildup, according to Sky Sports.

Manchester United remain on three points in the Champions League league phase after the defeat. Sky Sports reported that Michael Carrick's side will next face Leeds away in the Premier League on Sunday, October 18.
