Frustrated German: They have been the same for ten years, they were lying on the field...

"Ten years are the same. It's important for them not to concede a goal, not to give it. That's Atlético, that doesn't change, and it's not easy for anyone to get used to that kind of football," said the German.

Ralf Rangnik, coach of Manchester United, believes that the outcome of the duel with Atlético at Old Trafford was influenced by the refereeing criteria of Slovenian Slavko Vinčić and the behavior of the visiting players.

Manchester United was defeated (1:0) and eliminated from the Champions League in the round of 1, after the first match in Madrid ended 1:XNUMX.

"I don't know if two minutes were played continuously in the second half without one Athletic player lying on the field. The referee allowed that. There were also some strange decisions, and the addition of four minutes is incomprehensible," said the German.

Rangnik also emphasized that Atlético's style of play is unusual for today's football.

"Ten years are the same. It's important for them not to concede a goal, not to give it. That's Atlético, that doesn't change, and it's not easy for anyone to get used to that kind of football," said the German.

In any case, it is difficult to find excuses for another missed season, especially after the big actions in the market during the summer, and the bringing of Ronaldo, Sancho, Varane...

United won the last trophy back in 2017, in the Europa League, when the team was led by Mourinho.
