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!
I am expecting nothing less than the best available players to be fielded by both teams when they go head to head in the Europa league play offs next week. With Manchester United in their best form in more than a year I'm expecting a competitive and interesting game.
The match will certainly be competitive. No team will want to lose this match and be eliminated from the Europa League. Xavi will definitely want to win the Europa League title. On the other hand, since it is not possible for Manchester United to win the Premier League title now. So their aim now is to win the Europa League title. We will get a chance to enjoy a very competitive match.
The Europa is now gaining more momentum than the Champions league because this game between Manchester United and Barcelona. Because both team are doing well and everyone want to watch them play each other. It will be interesting week, after PSG vs Bayern Munich crash in the Champions league than we shall witness another Gian game in the Europa.
The Europa League games will be more competitive than the champions league
It comprises of big clubs like Ajax, Man United, Barcelona, Roma and Juventus
Other big name's too so it is the reason one can help bit watch the Europa League very well too
I agree with you. There are several renowned teams in the Europa League this year. And the teams are in pretty good form right now. Manchester United, Arsenal, Barcelona and Roma are all in very strong positions right now. Also the teams are almost equally strong. And so the matches are expected to be very competitive. However, I consider either Barcelona or Arsenal as favorites to win the Europa League this season.
