A FRIENDLY against Atletico Madrid is one of football’s great contradictions, and it was no surprise to see Manchester United dragged into a rather niggly pre-season battle with Diego Simeone’s side as they were beaten by a late Joao Felix goal at the Ullevaal Stadion.
The Brazilian was one of 10 substitutions made by Atletico boss Diego Simeone in the second half, and he struck in the 87th minute to settle this testy affair. The ball was played out to Joao Felix on the left and he cut inside Diogo Dalot before using the Portuguese as a shield to trick David de Gea with a low shot inside his right-hand post.
