This is going to be a very tough match; we had hoped that it would occur between the quarterfinals and the finals, not right now. We were surprised by how quickly it arrived. Barcelona struggled mightily in the Champions League, and as a result, they were forced to play in the Europa League.
Manchester United gave it their all during the Europa League group stage matches, but they fell short of winning the group. As both sides will have a significant break due to World Cup games, the clash will become unpredictable going forward. The performance of each team on the field after the break will determine the result of this game.
it is good to understand that any of the teams between Manchester United and Barcelona stand a chance to win in that match.
I have read where the Barcelona coach Xavi said that his target for this season is two titles, the La Liga title and the Europa League title.
He needs to understand that the Europa League title will not be that easy for him because Eric ten hang now has good challenge in Manchester United to prove even after Ronaldo interview and social Media problems.
There is no doubt about this competition because both teams are under development with Barcelona is surely at better position with now they are leading La Liga and their performance is improving quickly instead of Manchester United which is having few on and off the field issues but here in UEFA Europa Cup their performance is good, and they are also doing hard job for winning this competition and Eric Ten Hag is also doing good job.
With the statement of Xavi they are looking for two titles may be OK but most chances they are focusing on La Liga because they are now having good chance for winning, and they want more consistency for this which mean they will be good in this and UEFA Europa Cup could be not their best priority as they have done in last season.
