Manchester United quickly came back into the game, with two quick goals (Rashford and a Koundé own goal) gave the advantage to the English side. But it was ...

Manchester United broke quickly and played the ball to Bruno Fernandes who was all on his own down the right wing. His return to England might be even more important for Barcelona as they are without Pedri and Gavi, who are leaving huge gaps in their starting XI today. It's a very disciplined performance so far from Barcelona, who are choosing their moments to attack in a very calm and assured manner. Varane does well to deal with a long ball from Raphinha that was aimed towards Lewandowski. The danger signs are there. Let's see what changes, if any, Ten Hag makes to his side for the second half. Barça can't give too many of them away: the quality of player Manchester United have means that they won't be half-chances every time. Fred broke down the left and couldn't be stopped by the Barça defence. We're comfortable playing that way. Another half chance for the home team. I said he looked as though he had lead in his socks. Rashford goes down on the edge of the box but the referee waves away the fall, to the dismay of the crowd.

One giant will advance, and the other will bow out of the Europa League, when Manchester United and Barcelona clash at Old Trafford on Thursday.

Manchester United have reached the last 16 of the Europa League after beating Barcelona 2-1 at Old Trafford.

Antony just guided it into the bottom corner and beyond Ter Stegen in front of a buoyant Stretford End. In a tie of this calibre, late drama was almost guaranteed at the death. Balde whipped an excellent cross to the far post which was met by Jules Kounde, but our shot-stopper was at full stretch to tip the headed effort over the bar. United won possession high up the pitch and Fernandes was quick to pass to the Brazilian midfielder who took one touch before firing beyond Ter Stegen. An infectious restart from Ten Hag’s men was mirrored by the fans, who were in full voice all evening. Casemiro made a vital intervention to prevent the Spaniard from getting a shot off, before putting his body on the line once again to deny Kessie and keep the score at 1-0 for the half-time whistle. Ten Hag’s side refused to be fazed, though, and immediately went in search of an equaliser. Within two minutes of the restart, we were level through Fred. The Reds hit back immediately after the restart, with Fred’s quick-fire strike on the edge of the area beating Marc-Andre Ter Stegen. Fernandes was deemed to have pulled Balde down just inside the area, giving Xavi’s side a direct route into pole position. Within the first three minutes, the Reds carved out an excellent opportunity to take an early lead. Barcelona’s no.9, Lewandowski, stepped up to convert the spot-kick, despite De Gea managing to get a glove on it.
