If you look at the history of the meetings between the two teams, indeed Barcelona has better capital because they always win, while Manchester United loses more often when they meet Barcelona.
but we can't compare with the previous meetings because everything has changed a lot, especially the players and coaches who will make the game different from before. And it will be a very exciting match because both are in top form and also have good results at the end of matches in all competitions, especially at Manchester United.
Especially for Manchester United. currently, Ten Hag has brought his team much better and is ranked 3rd on the Domestic League competition standings. in fact, United seem to have a very big chance of getting rid of Newcastle who are ranked 3rd in the Premier League which incidentally has the same points.
United progressed with positive trends, Erik Ten Hag's squad troops are on the right track. the United players just need a closer bond with the coach, Ten Hag just needs to make sure his team keep playing at their maximum performance. they have an important game this week, going against city rivals is not easy especially since City is better than everything compared to United who just found their rhythm. even so, if it turns out that in this fight The Red Devils are able to topple their city rivals. against Barcelona in the playoffs later, it is not impossible for The Red Devils to be able to overthrow Barcelona.
On the Barcelona side, Barca currently doesn't have any problems regarding injured players and it looks like Xavi can be more serious about realizing their mission of winning trophies in this competition. The problem is, Man United is not an easy opponent to beat, especially as The Red Devils are currently in a very positive trend.
