United didn't play that bad actually. Barcelona started strong but later ManU had sth to say too. Rashford unfortunetelly not good enought though trying...
Smalling is an animal who should be caged, not on a football field. That attack on Messi was as reckless as it was stupid and he clearly should have seen the RED card.
@GioMonaldo ....
BARCA still dominate with almost 70% possession, with 6 shoot (4 shoot on goal).
mu have 10 shoot and ZERO on goal.
people think play in UCL is easy, they forget even mediocre team can do all out and give strong resistance.
if you want complaint it's your problem....not mine :)
still win tho.....:)
@tar88s What this guy said. Its not worth risking injury against defenders who are bad and resort to aggression because they cannot stop you. Messi looked like he did not even want to keep the ball on his feet for too long after that incident.
@k.1 exactly, even in this mode he showed his brilliance few times. From the other side it looked like deliberate action from Smalling, I believe he will receive a proper "treatment" in away game.
I see Messi is still allergic to scoring in QFs, Suarez dropped another disasterclass. Pique, Alba and Semedo were great though. Treble dream is still alive. Barely.
@batamerah no player can play with 5players surrounding him each time he come to the ball. Or Fiests on his face each time he come to the ball. That guy small for such aggression. I hope you Man get a red card next time. A chicky one too
barca went with the "all the players who attack theough the middle and dont pressure the fullbacks" formation. Lets pray that messi brings his magic and alba/samedo do not get caught off guard on the counterattack
Man United have to be on their A game and FINISH their chances today and if they do I would go for a 2-0. However, Due to Barcelona's form, if Manchester United play bad then I see a 3-0 for Barca
It's easy to look at Messi and Suarez, then look at United's back line and think this is going to be a very one-sided affair. But look at the teams Barca have dropped points against this season, Leganes, Bilbao, Betis, Girona...surely United can nick a goal or two and make the return leg interesting.
1-1 or something like that, but even if Barcelona loses the 1st leg, it's impossible to out come them over 2 legs. We all know the final will be Juventus vs Barcelona or Manchester City vs Barcelona.
Barca tend to struggle in away games in the knockout stage but they arrive at Old Trafford in ominous form - they have won eight of nine matches since a 0-0 last-16 draw in Lyon.Three defeats in their last four have dented Solskjaer’s halo a little and they could be outclassed.
Linonel Messi has never before faced Titans like Mike Smalling And Lindoloof! I see a drubbing coming to Old Trafford. The form of Barcelona front 3. Their midfield trio and flying full backs. With what on earth will United have a chance against Barca. Lukaku? It will be XI world class players vs some very average XI! 0:2/3!
@GioMonaldo Dude that was a accident made by Gg Buffon this is Barca, messi won't lent united survive and with cutinho back in oldtrafford weww man barca gonna crush them
However both teams decide to set up, barca will be clear favourites. However... Man utd's weakest positions that can be exploited are their fullbacks, and their biggest chance of uppseting are their fast paced wingers.
Valverde HAS to exploit Shaw and Young by playing prolific wingers on the sides. This would also take som of the offensive duties off alba and samedo/roberto, who in return can keep an eye on fast paced counter attacks. If valverde decides to go with suarez-messi-coutinho-rakitic and arthur/vidal who all play through the middle, a magic performance by de gea and good work from man utd's midfielders (who are quite capable) in defence might actualy cause an uppset IMO.
Barcelona have lost their last 3 away games in quarter finals and haven't scored a single goal. It's time to change, but I don't think they will win here. Draw 1-1.
everyone can tell me how many throw ins was in this game?
What helped united was the aggression. Those rugby players. Shucks.
Barca was not at their best, but we managed to get a good result.Even in injury Messi still proved decisive with that no look assist.
United didn't play that bad actually. Barcelona started strong but later ManU had sth to say too. Rashford unfortunetelly not good enought though trying...
Poor game but good result for Barcelona. Indifferent performance from Messi but still the best forward on the park in a scruffy dull game.
Smalling is an animal who should be caged, not on a football field. That attack on Messi was as reckless as it was stupid and he clearly should have seen the RED card.
Why messi always ghosting on big games
@LapuIga because all your coaches plan to stop messi. Putting 5 and more players every time messi has the ball.
@LapuIga are real madrid playing UEFA cup today? just asking.
@LapuIga 0.9 assist
@LapuIga you read to much myth about Messi ghosting in big match.....watch more games kiddo
@LapuIga Ghosting so much he got an assist. Much less than every forward in United did, right?
75.093 attendance change this please
@nachokmp 0 care
the number of attendees is real? in the places that I have looked are a thousand more
David Moise is back he just look younger
BARCELONA fans should not complaint......it's first time Barca win in old trafford. and MESSI GIVE ASSIST (event it's count as own goal by shaw)
@batamerah It wasn't Messi's match, but he still played very well
@JimmyHopkins cos it's Messi
@batamerah Messi did nothing else the whole match though. He was mediocre just like Suarez.
@GioMonaldo .....don't care....still make impact for the goal, and give win advantage. BARCA fans always complaint about anything and everthing
@batamerah clearly you know 0 Barca fans, and a whole lot PLASTIC fans. Don't pretend the plastics are Barca fans, they are posers and nothing more
@Flash_is_back ......ok fair enough if you called them PLASTIC FANS.....good then....:)
@batamerah Ofc I complain, I want my team to win big and dominate :)
@GioMonaldo .... BARCA still dominate with almost 70% possession, with 6 shoot (4 shoot on goal). mu have 10 shoot and ZERO on goal. people think play in UCL is easy, they forget even mediocre team can do all out and give strong resistance. if you want complaint it's your problem....not mine :) still win tho.....:)
@batamerah Barca had 3 shots on target, not 4. I'm happy about the win but disappointed by Messi and Suarez flopping badly.
@GioMonaldo Messi was not very dedicated to the game since Smalling almost broke his nose. The latter should have definitely received yellow for that.
@tar88s What this guy said. Its not worth risking injury against defenders who are bad and resort to aggression because they cannot stop you. Messi looked like he did not even want to keep the ball on his feet for too long after that incident.
@k.1 exactly, even in this mode he showed his brilliance few times. From the other side it looked like deliberate action from Smalling, I believe he will receive a proper "treatment" in away game.
@GioMonaldo yup....it's 3 thanks for correction. just lets hope we pass to semis, and final shall we??
This was the performance Manchester City hoped to drop yesterday.
I see Messi is still allergic to scoring in QFs, Suarez dropped another disasterclass. Pique, Alba and Semedo were great though. Treble dream is still alive. Barely.
@GioMonaldo relax Barca in the save mode....
@batamerah no player can play with 5players surrounding him each time he come to the ball. Or Fiests on his face each time he come to the ball. That guy small for such aggression. I hope you Man get a red card next time. A chicky one too
Barca didn't even got out of 2nd gear. Professional away performance. Barca will batter them at home.
@alwatp Barcelona need to be wary at home they don't get too complacent and risk being exposed on the counter attack.
@alwatp ......yup....they in save mode and still win.....:)
Very important win for Barca on the opponent's pitch. Treble loading!
@JimmyHopkins Why do repeat comments ?
Very important win for Barca on the opponent's pitch.
Playing at home with 5 defenders isn't going to get it done. Ole should have been more pro-active. United are going to get murdered in Camp Nou.
Horrible game after 10 mins of exciting football at the start, barcelona still with the away goal and a decent recult on paper
terrible game. barcelona in away champions league games still cant score themselves
@BarcaPlsLetMeDown .....terrible game by you.....it's first time BARCELONA win at old trafford......RELAX
@BarcaPlsLetMeDown Spurs 2-4 BAR, Inter 1-1 BAR, PSV 1-2 BAR. Barca scored 7 away goals in 4 games this season.
@GioMonaldo since the arsenal tie years ago, 2 goals in 7 games
@GioMonaldo i meant knockout. i forgot to type that in
Is Mourinho back ?
@neumi17 mourinho is valverde
@BarcaPlsLetMeDown his possession shows otherwise
I'll say typical premier league crap Winning by physical force..Smalling just showed what kind of shit he is
Rocchi is a piece of crap. Should be banned from refereeing.
@BeautifulLoser absolutely, not a real referee
Busquets looks well off the pace when defending. Unusual for him.
barca win
I'm Sure It's gonna Be Stalemate, 1 -1
barca went with the "all the players who attack theough the middle and dont pressure the fullbacks" formation. Lets pray that messi brings his magic and alba/samedo do not get caught off guard on the counterattack
This game will be defined with the defences....n i know everyone else will understand this silent loudly....
Man United have to be on their A game and FINISH their chances today and if they do I would go for a 2-0. However, Due to Barcelona's form, if Manchester United play bad then I see a 3-0 for Barca
0-0 NOBODY SCORES! HAHAHAHA!
Strange prediction from whoscored
Btts i hope
Overcrowded Barca MF with full backs taking over the wings and messi controlling from CM with rakiwitch and biscuits.
United must go for attack if they want to progress, like Roma did last year on home ground.
1x, de gea motm
2-0 barca united kept scoreless with in form messi tearing uniteds bums in defence apart 1 goal messi 1 goal suarez
Man United 4-1 Barca
1-3 to Barca. Messi x2 and suarez goalscorers
@Brandon96 I would be shocked if Barca didn't lose 2-1
Barca haven't won a single knock-out stage away match since 2016
It's easy to look at Messi and Suarez, then look at United's back line and think this is going to be a very one-sided affair. But look at the teams Barca have dropped points against this season, Leganes, Bilbao, Betis, Girona...surely United can nick a goal or two and make the return leg interesting.
Draw
messi to disappear and not show up with united good in defence and a goal or two from counter attacks.. 2-1 united
@dakeithh > united > good in defence
1-1 or something like that, but even if Barcelona loses the 1st leg, it's impossible to out come them over 2 legs. We all know the final will be Juventus vs Barcelona or Manchester City vs Barcelona.
@hellreaper I hope the final will be Juventus - Liverpool.
@hellreaper Actually we don't even know whether Barca could get past United. Roma disaster is still fresh in our minds.
1:1. Smalling knows secret that nobody knows about how to stop Messi.
@fantazyboy It's not a secret that nobody knows how to stop Messi
Correct score 1:2 Barcelona
Messi will be love playing opposite players such as Smalling and lindelof :) They are very slow and will struggle.
Let’s see who would win the Lukaku vs Messi contest.. LOL
1-0 Manchester United
Barca tend to struggle in away games in the knockout stage but they arrive at Old Trafford in ominous form - they have won eight of nine matches since a 0-0 last-16 draw in Lyon.Three defeats in their last four have dented Solskjaer’s halo a little and they could be outclassed.

With what on earth will United have a chance against Barca. Lukaku? It will be XI world class players vs some very average XI! 0:2/3!
what an intriguing game
UNITED 3-1!
Looking at Barcelona's away record in UCL, it will be a draw if Barcelona play well.
A night made for Messi. Something magical could happen, perhaps, a la PSG, but Barca ain't PSG. 2-1 to Barca.
@dSquib Yeah, Barca ain't P$G, Barca can actually reach the QFs :D They've done it for a record amount of times.
Barça will win and maybe with Handicap 0-2 or 0-3 maybe a hattrick for Messi
Never underestimate the tough road games in UCL quarter finals. Very difficult to take a win here, a 0-0 or 1-1 tie is likely.
Tough game: 2-2, with Barcelona winning at home 3-1
somehow I don't see man united winning this tie. Barca to progress.
@CabduKuus69 Did you see United progressing against P$G?
@GioMonaldo Dude that was a accident made by Gg Buffon this is Barca, messi won't lent united survive and with cutinho back in oldtrafford weww man barca gonna crush them
@Enza I wish I had your confidence but I know my Quarterlona better than most people.
Manchester united will win this match...
However both teams decide to set up, barca will be clear favourites. However...

lol Uniteds highest rated players are Felleini and Smalling, 4 nill for Barcelona
lol wtf draw
Barcelona have lost their last 3 away games in quarter finals and haven't scored a single goal. It's time to change, but I don't think they will win here. Draw 1-1.
