Manchester United scored a remarkable 2-1 win over Barcelona in the Europa League. However, Manchester United's victory against Barcelona was not so great.  Lewandowski 18' (P) gives Barcelona the lead after receiving a penalty in the first half. There were no more goals afterwards. But the two Brazilian stars Fred (47') Antony (73') fought in the second half and secured Manchester United's victory against Barcelona with their two important goals.

You contradict yourself. You mentioned they scored a remarkable win over Barcelona yet you also claim their victory over Barcelona wasn’t so great.

I think their victory over Barcelona was amazing. They stood up to Barcelona in the first leg and came out with a draw. Ordinarily, I would have thought that Barcelona would gear up to win the second leg of the game but it seemed Manchester United wanted the win much more.

I still don’t think the Penalty awarded to Barcelona in true first half of the game should have been given but I guess it didn’t matter at the end cause Manchester United still got the win.

Barcelona are now face with no other option than to focus solely on winning the laliga competition this season as they have been serially swept off from all European competition this season starting from the UCL in the hands of Bayern Munich down to the Europa in Man UTD hands and this is no good for the Spanish.
Even in La Liga, Barcelona still have to fight very well if they want a trophy at the end of the season. Because if Barcelona are still able to be beaten by other teams in the remaining matches in La Liga, Real Madrid will continue to use this to get closer to Barcelona's number of points in the standings. But in general Barcelona can now only focus on competitions in Spain such as La Liga and also the Copa del Rey where Barcelona is also faced with its eternal rival, Real Madrid.

The main goal for Barcelona now remains the La Liga championship.  After the elimination in the Europa League, there is no other target left for Barcelona to focus on.  I hope Real Madrid does not become the champion, but Barcelona can at least achieve one of their goals as champions.

Barcelona tried their best and in fact in European competition it does not look like this year was their year.I thought that they had the capacity to beat Manchester United but the fact that Manchester United beat them surprised me a lot as the players of Manchester United if taken individually are not at the same level as those of Barcelona so I think this to be the hand of their coach which is doing really well so far with them.From now on I think the most favored teams to win the Europa League are Manchester United and Juventus.
Sometimes I think Barcelona suffer a lot in Europe because of Xavi's lack of good handling of crucial matches. The worst scenario can happen in the game when you score early and then the opposing team achieves the comeback. The performance in European has been so pathetic.. There is still a very big gap between our team and the Europe's elite teams. The Manchester United I watched yesterday, don't sleep on them, and my respect has to go to Ten Hag, this man change everything in Manchester United, his balling pattern fantastic and attacking wise.

It was clear to me that Manchester United would beat Barcelona after the first match. They were confident away and Barcelona were lucky that they were able to equalise at the end of the first game. There was no doubt in my mind that Manchester United would win the home return game. Even just looking at the stats of the game, Manchester United played better.

There are some more teams that showed pretty good performance and win the Europa League in the end. One of the teams that look very good is Union Berlin. They are in the top of Bundesliga and just managed to beat Ajax with a pretty big 3-1 score. Ajax had the ball in their possesion but it was Union Berlin who had more shots and won in the end.
With so many teams showing good performances, this makes competition in the European League this season very interesting. Manchester United managed to progress after defeating Barcelona with a score of 2-1 (4-3). I'm not too surprised by this result because even though Barcelona played well, Mamnchester United also did the same with the improvements they made.
Union Berlin is showing an impressive performance in the Bundesliga, it will be an important capital for them to be able to talk more in the Europa League this season.

Ajax was unlucky this time. facing Union Berlin, Ajax's front line looked frustrated. they controlled the midfield but Union Berlin left Ajax with little to do.
Ajax controlled 74% of ball possession. but could only make 3 shots on target. of course, Union Berlin has a defense unimaginable for Ajax.

Another match was MU against Barca. both played great, and MU showed good game and spirit. they are playing at home, and they are very strong. win 2-1 and Barca have to admit it.

Before this round in the Europa League started is was pretty sure, that Union Berlin would not have a chance against Ajax Amsterdam. I mean we should not forget where both teams are coming from. Ajax was in the semi final of the Champions League a few years back and they almost reached the final there. Union Berlin on the other hand always was a team of the second Bundesliga until a few years ago.
That match yesterday though, was a pretty good example why Union Berlin is so successful this year. Their defense is very stable and they don't get nervous even if the opponent is having the ball all the time. In addition to that they are also very effecdtive with their chances.

We will see 16 clubs beat each other to get a place later. Of the 8 matches that will be held, the match between Manchester United and Barcelona is the match that attracts the most attention. They have the same aggregate because in the second leg they could only draw 2-2. It will be a tough game for both clubs, I won't be surprised when this game has to be settled on penalties later. learn from their matches in the first leg, maybe in the second leg the same thing will happen, but there are some changes that will be made by the two coaches from each club.
The big match that will take place at Old Trafford will create a very hot atmosphere because it is a gamble for Manchester United to win a landslide. Barcelona will definitely start the game fast and Erik Ten Hag can't afford to let his guard down this time. Manchester United's defense needs to be installed with the right players, so there are no blunders in the penalty box. If Manchester United is able to balance the game fast as Barcelona did, the results will be more favorable for the red devils.
The match ended in a condition where Manchester United came out victorious in a dramatic way.
Judging from the conditions, indeed Barcelona was better in terms of ball possession but indeed for the second half it belonged to Manchester United.

Antony who previously couldn't play in the first leg he was very good in this match. His 1 goal managed to make Barcelona leave for the second time in a row.
With this condition, the continuation of the European League will be very much awaited because there are two big teams there because Arsenal are also still waiting comfortably in the last 16.

Barcelona dominated the match and deserved to win the game. But Manchester United goal keeper David de Gea was just exceptionally good, with several outstanding saves. He would have even saved Robert Lewandowski penalty if the striker had not lifted the ball a little bit high. The management office the Barca team will be very disappointed because they had invested so much on the team.

I didn't expect Manchester United to win this match because they have not been in good shape this season. But they defended so well and made the Barca to have less chances. Bruno Fernandes made a silly mistake because the penalty was uncalled-for. But their attack stood up to the challenge and those beautiful goals from Fred and Anthony rescued the Red Devils. But I still need to appreciate the uncommon effort of captain Fernandes for his master-class passes.

The result from this year was the same like last year. Barcelona's not at the level that was able to compete with another good club in the europa league. It was losing against MU which has been always losing to the barcelona so many times. A bit surprised that if the degrade of barcelona's quality was happening. Im not even feel doubt if barcelona may also fail to get another trophy just like copa del rey. It seems like that barcelona is always facing difficulty to compete in competition other than domestic competition.

The performance from barcelona can be categorized as good enough but it's not even enough to win europa league. Glad to see that MU was making barcelona out from europa league. What people said about barcelona would win europa league easily was not true

They can beat Ajax which lost their power and competitiveness a lot since the summer. They lost Ten Hag and a couple of important star players and have yet found good replacements for those players.

That's a serious problem for Ajax ATM, not only being knocked out of UEL, they are not even having a good enough season in the Eredivisie. Usually in the middle of the season they already have a point distance that is a little further than the other teams, but right now they are only in second place with 46 points (below Feyenoord who have 3 points more).  For some reason I think that this season isn't an ordinary season in the major European leagues, we can also see PSG and Bayern Munich who are still struggling to keep their distance from other teams.

Yes, Barcelona has not fully reached the real level at the European level. But in terms of game the Blaugrana have achieved quite a rapid increase, it's just that they are out of luck. In European competition this season, Barcelona faced quite a formidable hurdle. In the Champions League, they entered the group of hell, then the results of the draw for the Europa League play-off round were also forced to meet MU.
As for joining the group of hell in the UEFA Champions League and having to play Manchester United after the draw in the UEFA European League, for us it was just a coincidence. Getting back to the glory days is certainly not easy and takes a lot of time.
The two teams that played last night are a good example. Barcelona are in a slump in European competition and will have a chance to rediscover themselves next season as their attempt with Xavi in the UEFA European League also stalled in the round of 32 after drawing at Camp Nou and losing at Old Trafford.

To be honest, the game between Man United and Barcelona was a little bit boring to me.
My expectation that United will win became a reality. Ten Hag won the game by making the right substitutions(especially Antony).
Barcelona simply lost control over the game after a certain moment. They have a young team and I think that Barcelona has a bright future, if the financial problems don't force the team to sell more players.
United is ready to win this season of the Europa League. I can't see any other team in the competition, that is good enough to beat them.

For me the match was not boring because the two teams took turns to attack each other in the first half, but for the second half to be honest the second half of the match could be controlled and or mastered well by Manchester United.

This match was still exciting because both teams kept looking for opportunities but yes, in the end Manchester United deserved to advance to the next round because Erik ten Hag managed to come up with a good strategy for Manchester United. Also, at least this victory also proves that Erik ten Hag can break up bad results when Manchester United play against Barcelona.

MU is in the different level now compared with barcelona.
The recent match between MU and Barcelona showcased an impressive defensive strategy by MU, with Martinez and Varane deserving recognition for their performance. While Antony and Fred scored goals for MU, it was their strong defense that was the key to their victory.

The current state of MU's performance is largely attributed to their disciplined manager, Ten Hag. Initially, there were doubts among fans and the public regarding Ten Hag's ability to bring significant change to the club. However, he has now proven himself to be a competent leader who can bring out the best in MU, whether in the league or in European championships.

Franck Kessie made a very simple mistake in Manchester United's first goal. I think Barcelona could have set the pace of the match better if it hadn't been for that mistake and goal. Franck Kessie's mistake affected the fate of the match. Also, Bruno Fernandes may have committed a clear foul in the position in Manchester United's second goal. If the referee had called a foul on that position, no one would have objected to the referee. On the Manchester United side, De Gea played a very successful match. He played a key role in Manchester United's passing the tour.

Juventus has get satisfied result from Nantes yesterday that 3-0 is very good scores for them and Di Maria was performing outstading with his hattrick and actually Nantes in the first half was performing good but Pallois red card greatly affect the performance of Nantes because after that incident Nantes cannot develop their game and during the match Juventus has successfully to pressed them and Nantes cannot able out from Juventus pressure

On the other hand 2-1 is could be decent scores for Manchester United because finally they can ended their poor records from Barcelona and this also special because after this result Barcelona were eliminated and for Barcelona 2 season in a row Barcelona has been failed reach to quarterfinal under Xavi i think he have to evaluated this result
Juventus defeats Nantes 3-0 (4-1 on aggregate) and advances to the round of 16 of the Europa League thanks to a hat-trick from Angel Di Maria. The Bianconeri got off to the perfect start, and Di Maria's magic feet brought good for the old lady. Nantes was unable to make a danger with only 10 men.

Congrats to Man United for advancing to the Europa League's round of 16. Despite the setback, Xavi is still doing a good job leading the team. I hope that Barca board will still believe in him even after this elimination from European competition. I'm confident that very soon Barca will soon return to it's glory days again in Europe.
