How often do teams who draw 0-0 away in the first leg of a Champions League tie go through?

Manchester United earned a scoreless draw in Seville three weeks ago, but it is far from a guarantee that the English side will see the job through

Manchester United host Sevilla at Old Trafford on Tuesday looking to complete the job of qualifying for the Champions League quarter-finals.

In the first leg in Spain last month, United forged few opportunities until very late in the game and amassed all of one shot on target in the whole 90 minutes as they prioritised their quest for a clean sheet and came away with a 0-0 draw.

Some onlookers later questioned the wisdom of such an approach though, with Jose Mourinho having decided to take his chances back in Manchester despite the knowledge that a score draw would see United dumped out of the competition at the round of 16 stage.
