Barcelona goes to the europa league caused by it's not as good as the team who qualified for last 16 in UCL. that proves that barcelona is always having horrible results when it comes to battling against big teams. I just remind you of the match against intermilan. I remember how many people favor barcelona rather than intermilan but inter was kicking barcelona's ass to go down to the europa league.
MU is coming with new squads under ten hag. This gonna be the toughest match for barcelona in europa league. I don't see any other team that is at the same level as MU except arsenal.
Barcelona has horribel result last season in europa league after being beaten by frankfurt.
You also have to see, when Real Madrid was slaughtered by Barcelona in the Supercopa de Espana cup. it shows that Barcelona underwent a lot of changes, their game is more structured. Xavi has learned a lot from his team's defeat in the Champions League, and it has been proven that Barcelona's performance has improved dramatically. Reflecting on Barcelona's matches in the Domestic League, it is very natural that Barcelona is superior in this match.
On the other hand, Ten Hag was able to bring The Red Devils much better than before. the system that Ten Hag implemented, worked as it should. how the MU players played very well, demonstrating the game of one, two touches, fast transitions between players, plus the players didn't dribble too much. this system is what Ten Hag wants, for the Red Devils squad.
I think this fight will present an interesting match. also, shows the ability of these two teams. as a football lover, I am happy if both teams will present their best game and this is what we are waiting for from this match.
