Who will advance after the second leg between Barcelona & Manchester United? 👀

[akedekenny]

Ten Hag is the best thing to happen to Manchester United.

Good on both team, im a barca fan but im also happy for man u for doing well so far. Its been a struggle for both club.

[hackle]

Wih better finishing United win this game. ETH is doing wonders with a thin squad and competing in 4 competitions

[joshuadavid]

What a game end to end attack best game so far this year in the whole of europe. But as a manutd fan I'm not happy with the draw, we need to take our chances and learn to square play when the team mates have a better chance to score. But Rashford is on 🔥 mate 👌

[Haslr]

Off course the English will talk about a possible red card and not fred becoming a second goalie

[kadalkol]

I havent watched the entire video, but ill bet ogden continued to act like United are lucky to be here. Sick of him.

[ishanp]

Xavi disaster class in terms of line up selection! Hope we get it right at Old Trafford. Amazing watch tho!

[paulacquah-badu]

You guys talked 90% about Manchester, the foul on Rashdord but never mentioned the handball. Bias

[dhairyaraval]

Absolutely wonderful game. What are your thoughts on the Fred handball? I think the officiating was questionable but if you’re mentioning the Kounde challenge on Rashford, you should also mention the multiple bad calls that Barcelona got shafted by.

I love Xavi but cant really understand Why he Didn’t started With His best defence tonight? I mean after UCL drama ( barca defence was out for injuries) this was firat time when Xavi had the opportunity to start with his best defence who were playing so well. Still he didn’t. After Cr & Bal came Barca looked totally different. That was a weird decision. Also Xavi Subbed Raphinha when he was playing so good ( we saw even Raphinha was disappointed) . Barca could have buried another in. Also Pedri going out changed Barca's Midfield dominance.
But ovarall Man U played good football. They stick to their strengths. Also Rashford is on another level.
Man U have the edge now. Both Pedri & Gavi ( for his stupid temper) will be out. I cant see any Barca midfield in next match. Also its in OT.
But i must say it was enjoyable match after WC.

[FCBArko_]

Xavi deserves all the blame for Over thinking tonight

[abdul_majidmansuramin]

It was really a good game but the referee was bottling around with a lot of yellow cards to man utd players

[Realdavidart]

Premier League homers. Coverage is so one sided. Can’t wait to send ManU home for good next week.

[abedhasani]

Xavi just overthinks in European games

[marksmane]

Man U podcast, spent maybe 2 min talking about Barca. Biased AF.

[MicDubTV]

I see many Barca fans saying that United would have been thrashed if they had Dembele & Balde/Christensen starting. Absolute rubbish. The game's balance swung back & forth like a pendulum. 10-15 minute stints of one team dominating the chances, then the other team doing it themselves as well. Let's also remember that United didn't have Martinez, Eriksen, Antony or Martial either. Sancho also just got back after not playing for 3+ months.

People seem to be fooled by possession stats, assuming it means that a team dominated the match. Until Xavi made the triple sub, United were looking like they could have even score 3. Barca did very well at the end & United were under pressure for the last 15 minutes, but let's be real here. United will be disappointed not to win that match. You could say that Barca did well to get the draw & could have gone on to win as well.

But, the United side is in a worse position than Barcelona is. Xavi is further along in his rebuild of Barca by about 18 months & he has Barca at the top of La Liga. For Erik ten Hag to come in this soon into his reign & get as many chances as Barca, with much less possession, just shows how scary this United side will be once their new ownership gets sorted.

At the end of the day, it was a fantastic match. But, it's disingenuous to say that Barca dominated (they did not) or that they "would have won if They didn't win. Neither did United. And if United wins next week, the excuses will be "oh, Gavi & Pedri didn't play". Meanwhile, if Barca wins next week, United will take it on the chin & I doubt that excuses will be made from their point of view. I'm just thankful that both teams are growing & it's clear that they will be returning to the top of European football within the next couple of seasons. Europe should be VERY afraid of BOTH of these clubs.

[jajaiarigaga]

I couldnt watch the game but based on the game stats i would say barca played a little better than united can bith barca and united fans give me their honest opinions on the game bcs i saw barca scored an own goal so idk

[DUNDOM]

Xavi is clueless. Starts Alonso as center back instead of Christiensen and Alba instead of Balde. Christiensen and Balde are in top form this season. Also Xavi subs off Raphina for Ferran Torres even though Raphina scored a goal and was best Barca attacker in this game.

[TheLexy]

Terrible one sided view in Favour of Man U. Could not watch till the end
