What a game, what a story.
"It's a Champions League match for everything, there is no feeling of a Europa League match," former United sporting director Jordi Cruyff told Barca TV.
Barcelona has the strongest lineup at its disposal with Rafinha, Gabi, Pedri and Robert Lewandowski, with Frank Casilla and Frankie De Jong, who joined United in the summer, in the midfield.
Marcus Alonso starts in the center of defense alongside Jules Conde, with Ronald Araujo on the right as part of the attempt to stop Marcus Rashford.
On the other hand, Manchester United are missing the suspended Lisandro Martinez and Marcel Sabitzer and the injured Antony Christian Eriksen, Anthony Martial and Scott McTominay, but Casemiro, who has been absent from the last few games in the Premier League, is not suspended from the Europa League games and has returned to Eric ten Haag's team alongside Fred, with the aforementioned hot Marcus Rashford in attack , Bruno Fernandes, Jadon Sancho and Vaught and Horst in the hope of at least moving the decision to Old Trafford.

The course of the game
5 minutes: Too much hasn't happened yet, but it's interesting to see that the devil of the hearth surprised with Rashford as a sharp striker, when behind him and Horst who is used to playing at the top and the one who was shifted to the wing is Bruno Fernandes.
9th minute: What a big miss.
Lewandowski received a ball inside the box and set up a comfortable angle for himself in front of De Gea, but his powerful kick was well blocked by the goalkeeper.
Minute 13: A dangerous free kick for Barcelona about 18 meters in a direct line from the goal, Alonso kicked it over the wall and out.
19th minute: Another good chance for Barcelona.
This time it was Gabi who bounced to Padre, the latter managed to take control and kicked out of the air.
Will hope to come off the bench against Mourinho and Roma.

A big test for both teams and the attention of interest in Israel will of course be attracted to Oskar Gloch, hoping that he will come off the bench.
"A lot of people expect Roma to play defensive football and wait for us at the back, but we are actually preparing for them to try to press us," midfielder Nicolas Seewald said.
Roma is focused on the fight for a ticket to the Champions League, but in Italy they claimed in advance that Jose Mourinho, who wants another European title after last season's Conference League, will have a strong team - and indeed the Giallorossi started with Paulo Dybala, Lorenzo Pellegrini and Nema Matic.
Georginio Wijnaldum, who returned to activity after a long injury and played 7 minutes against Lecce at the weekend, should come off the bench again - this time for a longer time.

Juventus lost a grip on the fight for a place in the Champions League due to the points penalty and now their best chance to qualify for the Champions League next season is to win the Europa League.
And this changes the picture completely after a few months ago, tunes of despair were heard in the vicinity of Yuva at the mere participation in the secondary plant.
The old lady comes after three consecutive victories in all the frames and one of them came without conceding - and she is of course the favorite.
Nantes will show up for the game in the shadow of the tragedy of the striker Ignatius Ganago, whose daughter died suddenly at the age of 5. The Cameroonian, of course, did not go with the team to Italy.
