Alexander Sorloth netted twice to complete a 4-2 comeback win for Atletico Madrid over Espanyol in LaLiga. After Jofre Carreras had given Espanyol the lead, Sorloth scored Atletico's first and last goals to earn the three points. Atletico were carved open just six minutes in as Tyrhys Dolan was released down the right to bend a low cross into the box.

Strasbourg and Chelsea are owned by the same organisation, BlueCo, and that could give Chelsea an advantage in the transfer race. It will be interesting to see if they can beat Atletico to his signature. Meanwhile, Diego Simeone has already informed the Atletico Madrid hierarchy that he wants to sign the 23-year-old. He believes that the Argentine forward could develop into a top-class player with the right guidance. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.

Having built a three-goal lead in last week's first leg in Spain, United were never troubled following first-half goals from Julia Zigiotti Olme and Jessica Park, and Bayern Munich now await them in the last eight. Atleti missed some decent openings early on at Leigh Sports Village, but the tie was effectively over when Zigiotti Olme swept past Lola Gallardo after being fed by Lisa Naalsund in the 28th minute.

The Pubill and Hancko partnership? You can clearly see what both can contribute. They connect well because of their characteristics. They need to improve some things, like everyone. They are giving us things that the team is doing very well. The other day, [Jose Maria] Gimenez was good, [Clement] Lenglet didn't have a good afternoon, but we need everyone. The team belongs to everyone, not just 10 players.

Oblak picked the ball out of the net twice at the end of the first half as Fran Perez and Oscar Valentin put Inigo Perez's side in control heading into the break. And Rayo's win was sealed in the 76th minute by Nobel Mendy, who rose highest to meet Alvaro Garcia's cross, confirming another damaging defeat for Atleti.

Manchester United are looking to improve the midfield unit with the signing of Marcos Llorente from Atletico Madrid. The 31-year-old midfielder has been an important player for Atletico Madrid, and he is capable of slating into multiple roles. He can operate in defence as well as in the midfield. He could be the ideal utility man for Manchester United. They are looking to add more quality and depth to the team as they look to fight for major trophies.
