Jan Oblak was excellent in net, saving five Manchester United shots, including one with his head in the 13th minute off an Anthony Elanga shot:

Manchester United had another great chance in the 77th minute off a Raphaël Varane header via an Alex Telles cross, but Oblak came up with yet another big save.

Despite the loss, Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo surpassed Iker Casillas for the most minutes played in Champions League history:

Atletico Madrid will now look for its first semifinal appearance since 2017, when they fell to Real Madrid.


Benfica 1, Ajax 0

Ajax took 16 shots, had 69 percent ball possession and 10 corner kicks to Benfica's four, but it's Benfica that is moving on after Darwin Nunez's 77th-minute header following Alejandro Grimaldo's cross on a set piece:

That was Nunez's only shot on goal at Ajax's Johan Cruyff Arena, but it was enough to send Benfica onward.

It's been a tremendous season for the 22-year-old Nunez, who has 24 goals (four in Champions League) across all competitions in 29 matches for Benfica in 2021-22.

Now he's sent Benfica to the quarterfinals for the first time since 2016.

Ajax's best chances occurred near the end of the first half, when Antony got a shot on goal in the 35th minute before Ryan Gravenberch fired his own shot moments later.

However, both attempts were saved, and they proved to be Ajax's lone shots on goal of the evening.
