True, both Erik ten hag and Xavi will definitely prepare the best strategy for the first leg match later, but again Barcelona will get the opportunity to host first and the support flowing from the Blaugranes will pump up the enthusiasm of the Barcelona players. I think Xavi has to anticipate Marcus Rashford's movements because in several Manchester United matches he is very consistent in scoring goals in every regular league match and does not rule out the possibility that he will score again against Barcelona later.
IMO, the home-field advantage will be a significant influence in this match. The energy levels of the Barcelona players will undoubtedly be enhanced by the backing of the Blaugranas. To limit Marcus Rashford's goal-scoring talent, Xavi has his job cut out for him. Due to the fact that both coaches are planning their best methods, it is difficult to predict the outcome of this game. There will be a lot to watch when two talented teams meet!
If I compare Erik ten Hag with Xavi, then I'm still pretty sure Erik ten Hag is still the better one. But because Barcelona have a better squad and have a player with a very good sense of goal like Lewandowski, then I will choose Barcelona to win this match. Indeed, football is not only about one player, but if Barcelona has a very good forward and also, other players can support him by making good moves and passing then of course Barcelona has a bigger chance to win.
So yes, with their performance in the local league which also shows that Barcelona is still very consistent, then I personally am quite sure if to predict which team will win then I will have Barcelona and it is not a difficult choice for now.
