Ernesto Valverde’s side advanced to the next round after beating Olympique Lyon 5-1 at the Camp Nou on Thursday (3/14) morning.
In this round each team has the opportunity to meet each other, because there is no superior status and limit for teams from one federation.
Quoted from the US, Barcelona players prefer to face Man United or FC Porto in the quarter-finals. Both of them qualified for the quarter-finals after the comeback from the first leg.
This will be the first two-legged tie between Barcelona and Manchester United since the 2007/08 UCL semi-finals, when United’s Paul Scholes scored the only goal in the Old Trafford second leg.
In the first leg Porto lost 2-1 at AS Roma, but won 3-1 at home. While Man United won 3-1 at Paris Saint-Germain after losing 0-2 at Old Trafford. Man United qualified for the next round with an away goal advantage.
