Manchester United Women won the tie 5-0 on aggregate with two first-half goals in the second leg to reach quarterfinals against Bayern Munich.
- Manchester United set up a Women's Champions League quarter-final against Bayern Munich after a 5-0 aggregate win over Atlético Madrid, with first-leg leads and goals from Julia Zigiotti Olme and Jess Park.
- Leading 3-0 from the first leg, United knew they were almost certain to progress after an open 5-minute period at Leigh Sports Village.
- Naalsund's pass set up Julia Zigiotti Olme for a 15-yard finish that went under Gallardo, who will feel she should have done better, and Jess Park curled a 22-yard shot into the top corner four minutes from the break.
- Atlético were reduced to 10 players when Xenia Pérez received a second yellow, and Marc Skinner could only name four outfield substitutes due to injuries.
- Several close calls and smart saves, including Phallon Tullis-Joyce's two stops frustrating Atlético threats, while Lea Schüller, Ellen Wangerheim, and Lauren produced near-misses.
