I agree that Barcelona will try to do their best to win, and they have players to replace each other, and they have a manager that can change the tactic to suit whoever they have, which is a lot better and could work well for them. I know it is not going to be easy, and I know they rather have him in the long run, but it's going to be not an impossible task to get someone else to play there and do as well as they could.

We have seen them play so many different players this season due to injuries, and they still do so well, which I believe they will be capable of doing some more, be great at La Liga like they have been all season, and give United the hardest game of their season.

That's what we said for Manchester United in the first match, but they narrowly missed the win.  Despite many injuries, his efforts should be appreciated.  Manchester United is a very good team.  So is Barcelona.  Both teams can win in tomorrow's match, whichever wins, the team that advances to the next round will be deserving.

That is clearly an advantage for Manchester United because of the condition of Barcelona's players who are having problems with injuries and accumulation of yellow cards, but Manchester United doesn't have to be happy or arrogant about this because Manchester United also still needs to prove itself is the best in front of its own fans. Erik Ten Hag will also instruct his troops not to make mistakes in the second leg at home this week.

Barcelona will still be favored by some people and also by their own fans in the second leg later, because as you said, the chances for Barcelona and Manchester United to qualify for the last 16 are still open. And that's despite the advantage Manchester United have at home which will probably be a very good advantage for Manchester United.

These days they are an inconsistent team? No, they are doing quite well and Salzburg didn't win with 3 or more goals, it is just 1 goal that Roma has to score in order to equalize as a first step. Salzburg will be given a hard time in Rome. This is a match between two equal teams and in the first leg Salzburg had its home advantage and now in the second leg it is Roma's turn.

Mourinho will also be extra motivated as he is always on European stages. He won the Europa League with Porto and Manchester United so far. I think if he can win it with Roma as well, he is probably the only coach who won the competition with three different clubs. As we all know Mourinho is the kind of guy who likes those titles and he implicitly brags about it as well. He also isn't as present in the media as he used to be in the past and maybe he would love to be a hot topic very soon again.

I just saw that he is now 60 years of age. Do you guys think he is someone who will still be coaching at the age of 70 or is he going to retire soon? I think he would first take on a job for a national team.

If we want to compare the situation of both teams and the history of the match they had always an amazing match when Barcelona and Manchester United were against each other usually we saw these games against these two teams in the Champions League and usually, Baecvelona could beat Machester Untid because during all the first games between these two Manchester United could just win one time and it was just a friendly match also Barcelona is performing much better than before after Xavi. So, I guess Manchester United will have a hard day tomorrow against Barcelona.

If I am informed correctly so far it is Gavi, Pedri and Dembele who are going to miss the game against Manchester United. When they are all available and in top fitness condition, they are certainly serious offensive weapons and its hurts every team if such players are missing.

However, they still have Raphael, Torres and Fati but it is true that they will lack some creativity and speed when the aforementioned players are missing.

Regarding Manchester United, I don't know whether ten Haag has no other options but sticks to Weghorst. Now we must take into account that it is not always about scoring goals even for an offensive player. Some players have a talent to create advantages for their team due to hard work on the pitch. As you can see here, Weghorst's skill ratings are quite low, but his work rates are high in both the defensive and offensive game. If he can improve in scoring as well, he is perhaps an even better asset to the team. I think that ten Haag has his reasons why he sticks to Weghorst.

It is true that Roma are so strong when playing at home, if we take a quick look at Roma's statistics in the last 10 matches at home in all competitions, they have managed to get 6 wins, 3 defeats and 1 draw. Actually, this result is quite good considering that they are very superior when playing at home and the support from Romanisti will always be with their favorite team in the match against Salzburg in the second leg later. Even though it sounds difficult, I think Roma will still win and I don't rule out the match going to extra time.

Barcelona in so many disadvantages in the upcoming match. Some main players got injured, Barcelona will be also playing away, the performance from secondary players of barcelona like sergio roberto didn't give guarantee if he can perform so well against MU while MU will be coming back with so many advantages. Mu has some players that become the best players in EPL like rashford. The only problem that owned by MU if it must be using a useless striker like weghorst. It seems MU was playing with 10 players instead of 11 caused by weghors's contribution to the team is almost nothing.

MU gets very good odds even though the match will be happening in old trafford.

Xavi has good midfielders for this game, Busquets absent will not affect the midfield,Xavi has multiple choice to replace him, but Busquets has experienced when it comes to champions league games as the oldest player in the squad.

Manchester United is also having injury problem,and I hope by tomorrow some of the players will be available for use. Like you said, Manchester United has good advantage to advance to the next stage at old Trafford tomorrow by beating Barcelona.

@LUCKMCFLY this injury is definitely a cause for concern for Xavi, but Barcelona is yet a strong team and I’m sure that they’ll yet manage to put up a decent performance even in the absence of Busquets. Furthermore Manchester United will have the home advantage, and I hope that the fan’s can inspire them to defeat Barcelona and move on to the next round.

I agree with you. Most of Roma's players are older. There are no star players in the squad. And there is no player in Roma's squad who is capable of playing well and scoring goals on a regular basis. Regular scorer Roma is not in the squad. This is why we see the Roma team playing defensive tactics. Mourinho is well aware of his team's weaknesses. Roma management is not interested in building the team by spending a lot of money. So even if Mourinho doesn't win the title, Roma management doesn't seem to be upset.

This is something that can be interpreted in various ways, first of all for lifelong Barcelona fans, they know that Busquets is a key player to win and it gives him more stability and he can have or exert more pressure in the game, Xavi They have a lot of players that they bought a long time ago, they have to use them because otherwise they would run out of options to face the greats, they also have Real Madrid breathing close and Man United.

But what I believe is that BARCELONA has fought so hard, I don't think they are going to let themselves win now in these games that are so crucial, Barcelona is in the Europa League for the second time in a row, the fans deserve to be there at UCL.


I really don't know what to think about this match, because both teams can win, according to what I saw in the match when they played it at the Camp Nou I saw Man United much better, they made a lot of attacks and made Barcelona run faster so they could scoring the equalizing goal, United almost won and at Barcelona's home, it would have been a very strong blow for Xavi and his team.

Now with everything he has experienced in Barcelona, it is likely that Xavi will go with a different attitude against Manchester, Manchester has a slight advantage over Barcelona because they are at home, but even so, Xavi has to change his strategy, there is no more chance It's win or win, that's why this match will be very, very good.

Barcelona may be losing against MU in old trafford. MU has been even draw against barcelona in camp nou and i think that even with best squads of barcelona was not able beating MU. This time for MU to prove that if the head to head meant nothing for the club. Im sure that ten hag already prepared the best strategy to destroy barcelona. This is a way for MU to get a trophy for this season and being qualified for UCL instantly.

Rashford and nacho are still on fire now. The performance from rashford is always climbing up. I would not be surprised to see that if rashford will able to become a key for MU to win the match against barcelona.

MU looks like a better club right now compared with barcelona.

That's the way it is, this player is one of the most experienced players, and a team always needs someone like that to be able to control the youngsters, he can have more commanding voice and they respect him much more. I know that at the moment a player like Busquets can contribute a lot.
The strategy that has worked for Xavi so far with these changes is not going to be very easy, replacing a very good player with another, they can make mistakes, paying dearly for them and the other team will win, so much effort to drown the edge.

I don't know which player I can replace him with, but it's not easy, and Ral Madrid will take advantage of every human error they have, that's like a war, the Spanish take this very seriously and are quite radical, it's their way of being.


Come on, not everything is lost in the Europa League for Juve, the only thing they have to do is win the next game, they have to do it to stay alive, with what Juve is going through they have to show that if they can, they can't give themselves given up

Juve have not had good games, but they have to forget about that and raise their heads, they cannot miss this opportunity they have, I know it is more difficult for them, because playing in Nantes is not easy, but they can win there. , that game is decisive, they have to be aware that this game is like a final.

Not only they are like that, Barcelona is in a similar situation and they have to play as visitors, so the Europa League is very exciting, as things look, each team has to do the impossible to achieve their results, from that it is about, nothing is given in football, and Europa Leaue has a worldwide attention almost like the UCL.

I suppose the stats actually point outs to Manchester United having upper hand in this return leg fixture but even at that this game will be a game not to miss out as both teams are playing good football currently now. Barcelona are looking strong at the lali ga table and have consistently been winning game as do Manchester United too but i feel the major advantage Manchester united will have in this return leg fixture  is the fact they are playing from home at old Trafford this time around, they will their fans to back them up although Barcelona have a pretty good winning record at the old Trafford but i feel this time around Manchester United can actually secure their place in the next round of the competition by defeating Barcelona 2-1 in this second leg.

the match Barcelona Manchester utd was among the most spectacular of the last round, for Manchester bringing home a draw from the Camp nou was an excellent result, few teams were able to achieve a result at Barcelona, ​​in the Champions League they succeeded Inter drew 3-3 and they devoured the opportunity to make it 3-4 at the last minute. I would like to remind you that Barcelona are first in the table in La Liga with only one defeat and with only 7 goals conceded so far in the league! now playing at old trafford could be easier for manchester, i think they can be the favorites to go through

Manchester United stands a better chance of winning Barcelona on the second leg of their encounter, considering the advantage and confidence they will have in playing on their ground, coupled with the excellent form they have at the moment. Any team that qualifies between the both clubs will be closer to winning the trophy.

I don't think Roma would turn it around, Salzburg are a very good team and they played a good first leg, Roma are an inconsistent team, they find it hard to win games in a row, before the first leg many fans thought that Roma were going to win easily, but their inconsistency affected them in the first leg and they lost. The only good thing for Roma is that they are going to play the second leg in their home, so their fans are going to be very loud and behind them, i feel the game will go to extra time and possibly penalties, and if it gets to that, any team can win; but i don't believe that Roma would turn the game around and win during the 90 mins.

 The problem Roma is facing now is the lack of players. Most of their players are aging, and some few young stars are over played. For now I will say   Roma is out of the picture for now. Analysis from their last match shows They have many factors that's hindering them from keeping conservative winning. Apart from their best player that is injured, Roma does not have good substitutions that can boldly deliver when the first options are not available.
