Arguably the tie of the round, with two of the world’s biggest clubs meeting in the knockout stages for the first time since United triumphed in the 2007-08 semifinals on the way to winning their third Champions League crown. Since then, Barca have beaten United in two finals (2009 and 2011) and Ernesto Valverde’s team will be favourites to progress to the last four.
United have to find a way to stop Lionel Messi, but that will be just one of many challenges facing caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who famously scored the winning goal for United in their 1999 Champions League final win against Bayern Munich at Camp Nou.
Real Madrid’s exit will increase Barca’s determination to go all the way, but they will be mindful of the threat posed by Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Paul Pogba for United. But for United to reach the semifinals for the first time since 2011, they will have to pull off one of the biggest results in their European history.
WHO DO YOU THINK WILL GO THROUGH?
