Atletico Madrid goalscorer Joao Felix says they can be happy after their 1-1 draw with Champions League opponents Manchester United.

A late Anthony Elanga equaliser cancelled out Felix's early opener for Atletico in the first-leg of their round 16 tie.

Felix said, "Last week we were practising crosses towards me, and that's exactly what we planned. We need to continue playing like this and working hard to finish the season well.

"It's a bittersweet feeling. We played a great game, despite not having that much of the ball. We always had control of the game, they barely created anything, but scored from the only one they had. That's football.

"I feel good, I'm confident, we were all confident coming into this one. We want to get into the next round.

"We are all confident and pushing in the same direction in order to do the best we can in the Champions League and the Liga."
