Barcelona is a team that is in a more comfortable position compared to Manchester united, they are advancing in the league as they wish, while their closest rivals lose points, they continue to progress by opening up the difference in points. The absence of Dembele does not cause much trouble to Xavi's game, at least there is an alternative that can fill his place. On the one hand, Manchester has to think about the league side, they have a lot of injuries and it will be difficult to replace those players.

I couldn't agree more with your evaluation of Barcelona and Manchester United's present situations. While Barcelona leads La Liga with relative ease, Manchester United is fighting for third place in the Premier League, which is renowned to be a more difficult tournament. It's amazing to watch Xavi's squad play effectively despite Dembele's absence, with substitutes stepping up well. Manchester United, on the other hand, has a lot on their plate due to many injuries.

However, I feel that a meeting between these two clubs would provide a clearer indication of who is the superior squad. Each tournament has its unique degree of difficulty, making it impossible to evaluate a team's success simply on the league in which it competes. In order to determine which club will emerge victorious, I eagerly anticipate the encounter between Barcelona and Manchester United.

I agree with your point that each league has its own level of difficulty, and you are also right that we cannot evaluate the games they participate in. They have different levels in the domestic league competition in my opinion, maybe Barcelona is now doing a lot better than Manchester United in La Liga, but I think Manchester United's difficulties are much more difficult when they are in the Premier League. It's true that we will see in the Europa League how they do in their games.
