Under the new coach, Manchester United is playing at a high level again and it showed against a top team like Barcelona.
After a long time, Manchester United has a chance to win trophies again, but realistically I think they have a better chance of winning a trophy in this competition.
The match against Barcelona was probably the final before the final, but of course there are still very serious contenders for the title in this competition.
In the English league, Manchester United is still too far behind Arsenal and this year I don't think they will win that trophy.
Manchester United was of course very lucky to win the match and took advantage of the lack condition of the Barcelona team. Obviously losing Dembele, Pedri and Gavi in a game like this puts the team in trouble and that was exactly what their coach Xavi said. If all three of these players are available, then I don't expect Barcelona to be humiliated for two successive seasons in the Europa League after a resurgence in form this season.
After all, Manchester United must really work hard to beat Barcelona even though Barcelona is in difficult conditions. The team's performance was quite good, but the lack of creativity and failed finishing meant that Barcelona had to go home with their heads down. Now the two strong Premier League teams will still play in the round of 16, but the Europa League is not for them.
