@Minor Miner I have said this before too and Ill repeat that Im pretty sure that Barcelona doesnt care about winning the Europa League, because theyre genuinely close to winning the La Liga title hence it doesnt make any sense for them to prioritise playing on Thursday night. Furthermore Manchester United can unlock their defence because of the pace of Rashford and hes in phenomenal form, hence Im 100% sure that Manchester United shall win against Barcelona and progress ahead.
On several occasions, Xavi said that Barcelona is serious about targeting this competition trophy. even one of their strikers, Lewandowski, once said that he and his colleagues had the ambition to win the Europa League trophy. so it's clear that Xavi really cares about this competition trophy besides prioritizing winning the La Liga trophy.
I can't predict what will happen in the match between Barcelona vs Manchester United. because after all, this fight is a crucial match for both teams. plus, their coaches will compete tactics and strategies.
Barcelona and Xavi are aiming to win the La Liga title and the Europa League title. On the other hand, Ten Hag and Manchester United's main goals are to qualify for the Champions League and the Europa League title. Arsenal will also continue to fight for the Europa League title. It is difficult to predict which team will win the title. But every team has a good instinct to win the title. United and Barcelona's performances have been somewhat unstable, but both have strong squads. But both the teams have enough time to organize themselves and strengthen the team.
