The draw that Manchester United got in this match was enough to open up opportunities for them when playing at Old Trafford, Marcus Rashford got several good chances at the end of the second half, but these opportunities could not be used to score goals. While Barcelona continued to press in the last 15 minutes of the second half, but Manchester United's defense is still quite solid and able to break the attacks built by Barcelona players.

The draw in this match also broke the predictions of several bookies who considered Barcelona to come out victorious and in the second leg I think Manchester United are far superior, although playing as the host is not a guarantee to win.

It is strange that bookmakers see the upcoming game like this:

2.43 - 3.50 - 2.95

but at the same time, Barcelona, in their opinion, will win the Europa League with a odds of 6, and United will have a worse odds - 7. United's edge is small and there's hardly room to hedge profits here, but it's an interesting case.

A very good match was made by Barcelona and Manchester United because the tension was really good in this match, especially with goals that were very fast and one after another, it was a great match.
Yeah, it was a high-tension match. Moreover when the OG by Kounde that makes Man United was leading at first, this really made Barcelona little bit down. But, finally, at least they could draw the match 2 - 2.
If we see the statistic, both Barcelona and Man United did great performances, offensive, and also quite effective. Their defense was quite strong. We can say that if Kounde didn't do OG, Barcelona exactly becomes the winner. But, this is very unlucky for them because of the fault.


But admittedly it was on the tricky side because Kounde didn't want to be in that situation either and it was purely accidental. On the other hand, you really shouldn't be blamed because it started from a crisis which was difficult to stop, considering that Manchester United's players were really dominant in attack.
The situation now is that Xavi has to try to make the aggregate at least not change later at Old Trafford and if he can, he must be able to win, even though it is clear that this is a bit difficult because they will definitely be under pressure from the fans from Manchester United.

Manchester United should have won this game I think the match official where more in favour of Barcelona, too many silly decision that was made in favour of Barcelona, is just too obvious and open too many decisions in favour of Barcelona tonight but is was either a win or draw in favour of Manchester United as I predicted. So let's wait for the second leg. Is a good result for the Manchester United side because they where the under dog in the game.
The draw that Manchester United got in this match was enough to open up opportunities for them when playing at Old Trafford, Marcus Rashford got several good chances at the end of the second half, but these opportunities could not be used to score goals. While Barcelona continued to press in the last 15 minutes of the second half, but Manchester United's defense is still quite solid and able to break the attacks built by Barcelona players.

Pretty interesting game between Barcelona and Manchester United. The Catalonian team started the match dominating the field and had some good goal opportunities, but United managed to get out of the bad situation in the second half after scoring two goals. Rashford scored the first one and had a crucial role for the second goal. He's in real good shape right now. Barcelona still trying to do their tiki-taka style, but they had problems in defense(mostly because of Kounde). United plays quite impressive football after "the Ronaldo drama". I would bet my money for United winning in the next game on Old Trafford.
I also think Manchester United can beat Barcelona in the return game. In yesterday's game, Barcelona were lucky that they were able to equalise at the end of the match. But Manchester United played better. After this game, though, Xavi can rectify the situation by learning from past mistakes. But I think they will still lose in England.
Both teams displayed an interesting game, I think this draw is a score that these two teams deserve. In the second leg later Manchester United will be more favored because they will play a home game. Seeing from their game in this match they played well, even though several players were missing due to injury. This is an opportunity for Manchester United in the second leg and also improve their record against Barcelona.
The second leg of the game will be another interesting game that know one can predict what will gonna take place, I believe the teams will try as much to brim out their best this time around.  Barcelona will definitely won't allow some mistakes to happen this time. The next around is gonna be another tough game which I don't really know who will definitely win the game  this time. It can be in favour of Manchester United since it is a home game.

I don't even expect ajax to be drawn against union berlin.



Ajax has dominated the ball possessions but what a surprise from ajax. 0 shots on goal. The attacking line of ajax looks like played so passively. This is a very bad result for ajax. The next game gonna be another opportunity for union berlin. Union berlin was making some golden moments but it was not lucky enough.

I agree, Ajax should be ashamed of themselves for performing so badly in a home game, not a single shot on goal and no compelling goal-scoring chances in the whole game, possession does not decide a game.

Ajax will have to improve a lot in the second leg, should Union Berlin be win, would that be the greatest success in the club's history?

Seeing from their game in this match they played well, even though several players were missing due to injury. This is an opportunity for Manchester United in the second leg and also improve their record against Barcelona.
Because the results in their first leg were a draw, in fact these two teams also still have the same opportunity to get back up better in the second leg. But in the second leg, I think Manchester United will try as hard as possible to win because Manchester United also don't want to be humiliated at home by Barcelona. And from now on Manchester United are certainly very ready and aware of this that they will still face tough opponents in the second leg of the play-off round later.
Both of them played very well, so it's true that the both still have a chance to qualify for the next round, although Manchester United will be more favored in the second leg later because play at home but they have to be careful. Barcelona will optimize their game more and Xavi possibility can to beat Ten Hag strategy at there, fortunate Sergio Busquets is injured if no maybe Barcelona defense will be more strong and that would be difficult for Manchester United.

I don't think the teams will have much advantage in home matches. Barcelona and Manchester United are both strong teams now. And so it is unlikely that the home team will have an advantage. Barcelona doesn't get any extra facilities at Camp Nou. However, Manchester United will be slightly ahead in the next match. Because in the first leg match United several important players could not be with the squad due to injury. Manchester United team will be stronger if they are with the squad in the second leg. And it will be more difficult for Barcelona to perform well in the second leg.

Even if you think a draw is a fair result for the match but I think one of the two teams deserved to win the match. Manchester United played very well, while Barcelona also had it. Both teams appear to attack making these two teams score goals alternately.

Barcelona had a good chance in the last few minutes of the game, but they had to miss because the ball hit the post. Obviously a draw isn't the best hope of Barcelona or Manchester United, but either way it's good enough for both. In the second leg, I expect a match with the same atmosphere between Manchester United and Barcelona. Both teams have the same chance to qualify, but we just don't know who will step there.

Raphinha still saved a 2-2 result for his team anyway and I think there is nothing ended yet. I know how much hard Barcelona's work will be in Old Trafford. But they need to stay stronger there to have a chance for next stage.

Many people said Raphinha was not experienced. He misses a lot of easy chances. Barcelona cannot play well without Dembele on the team. And Dembele cannot be a worthy replacement for Raphinha. But Raphinha proved everyone wrong. Raphinha's performance in this match was excellent. He scored one goal and one assist. Raphinha's performance throughout the match was eye-catching. Raphinha has become experienced. It bodes well for Barcelona's future. With players like Raphinha, Gavi and Ansu Fati gaining experience, Barcelona's attack will be stronger.

The second half became even more competitive after Marcos Alonso score the first goal of the match, less than
10 minutes after that Manchester United managed to turn things around
I don't know if playing at Old Trafford will give Manchester United more chances to dominate the match
Barcelona have players with an extraordinary mentality, they won't lose confidence just from playing as a guest

Expected performance from Juventus. Because juventus was a great team few seasons ago but currently the team is not very good. I think Juventus needs to add some new players at the moment if the team is to get back into their rhythm.
Well Juventus was leading with 1 goal in the first half and everything seems to end with their victory home until Nantes scored a goal.. Juve missed an opportunity to play comfortably in the second leg Undecided
Leverkusen and Monaco games were interesting in terms of flipping results from a side to another. In the end Monaco won in the extra time and like Juve game, the second leg will be hard for both teams

It would be fantastic to win the match at Old Trafford, and Barcelona must ensure that for its mission to qualify for the last 16. I'm not satisfied with the first leg draw, and because of that Barcelona will have to fight hard in second leg to qualify. It's not easy to beat Manchester United at home, but Barcelona will try to make the most of their chances.

I don't think there is a favorite in the second leg, the two teams are pretty good form even though Barcelona lost their two best players "Pedri and Gavi". Xavi may be aware of what he needs to do for the second leg in order for Barcelona to qualify, but his focus now is on the match against Cadiz which is also at Camp Nou in the coming days.

To tell the truth I can't say Barcelona were bad against Manchester United. They also found so many goal opportunities to score and they were even the first team to score in the match. But the answers came too quick by Manchester United later on. Rashford's goal really deserved appreciation. Because he actually lost a good angle to score but he managed to do it anyway. The second goal was unlucky for Barcelona as Kounde targeted his own goal while trying to clear the ball.

Raphinha still saved a 2-2 result for his team anyway and I think there is nothing ended yet. I know how much hard Barcelona's work will be in Old Trafford. But they need to stay stronger there to have a chance for next stage.
Watching the game in the first stage of the Barcelona team, I thought that the Barcelona team would get a nice victory, but the Barcelona team managed to score brilliantly. But Manchester United also managed to pay the goal. Barca would have won if Barcelona had not conceded the 2nd goal from their own defence.

Juventus draw yesterday was not expected because they played very well especially on the first half and they scored early which should've made the game much easier this result confirms that juventus has mental issues but i think they can easily win in the second game still nantes team remain dangerous and better not understimate them.

But in reality, in the second half Juventus still played with good control and mastery in the match but unfortunately, Juventus did not have a good chance to score the second goal. Also, I actually always worry about things like this, because usually when Juventus have a goal early, then they often reduce the intensity of their attacks.

But in that match Juventus didn't do that but unfortunately, Juventus only got a draw in the end. But regardless of these results, I hope Juventus can still make a perfect result in Serie A because in the next match Juventus will play away against Spezia.
Expected performance from Juventus. Because juventus was a great team few seasons ago but currently the team is not very good. I think Juventus needs to add some new players at the moment if the team is to get back into their rhythm.

Manchester United playing against Barcelona in their best form on their pitch and they almost beat them shows how far they’ve improved and Ten Hag has made them a team that can go toe to toe with the best teams in Europe even though they’re still in the development stage. Barcelona prepared to cage Rashford by pushing Araujo to the side but Ten Hag played him Centrally and Barcelona’s game plan was disrupted and we could see how poor and disorganized they were in the defense. If Barcelona are to get through the tie against Manchester United, they will have to turn around their form in Europe.

The game really showed everyone how much Manchester United has really improved. They could match Barcelona in their home ground, scoring two goals and come out with a draw in the end. Barcelona is a good team with amazing players and would have ordinarily crushed Manchester United in their old form.
I’ve always thought Ten Hag to be a good tactician. I would say the same as Pep of Manchester City. It’s obvious with the way he has changed the fortunes of the club. Manchester United has been playing in top form. Though like everything, they could do with some improvement to get better but I think they could still face any team in Europe.

 There was something I observed in the Manchester united Barca game last night which was the fact that in the first half, Barca dominated strongly and I was pitting them to win the half, but when second half came around, we started noticing some little flops and lack of coordination. Imagine Kounde even conceding a goal for Man UTD.
 I believe they will not want to mess this one up when they travel to Old Trafford in the return leg, I see a strong competition coming up because Erik is willing to seize any opportunity to ensure they win this leg if not is a good bye for UTD if Barca wins.

Ajax was still the big favorite in the match against Union Berlin even though Ajax is not in a good shape at the moment. We should not forget where Union Berlin is coming from. They were a part of the second Bundesliga in Germany for many years before they managed to go up to the first Bundesliga only a few years ago. Usually such clubs are fighting to not be relegated down again during almost every season. Ajax on the other side was in the semi final of the Champions League not to long ago and they have almost reached the final back then.
Somehow though Union Berlin manages to perform in almost every game so far in this season.

To be honest this one is the hardest match to predict and if you ask me I can see Union Berlin is playing very well recently and they their racing in their league even though they are near to the first position while they are racing with Bayern Munich so I expect to see Union Berlin playing for victory with attacking style even against a team like Ajax while like the time they faced each other, they got a draw and none of them could win the game. A week left to start this game and I'm waiting to see this game because both teams are currently in a good situation.

I thought bacelona  will win the game, because when bacelona played with real Madrid last season  in laliga they played very well, and win 4:0. and before the match start yesterday I thought bacelona will win the game because of their good performance last season. They tried to win but bacelona defense has been problem And Man united too play very very serious to win the game, they struggle seriously to win. Both teams played very well but man united performance was to good.The next game will be tough.

After scoring goal in early minutes i thought Juventus will be more easy to take control and dominate the match but i was wrong because although Juventus playing attacking since the first half but Nantes can managed their defense besides that i would say Juventus really unlucky yesterday even crossbar has became an their enemy because 2 shots attempts from Juventus players were hitting the crossbar but Nantes goal were very outstanding for me because it comes from quick counter attack but at least Juventus didn't lose so they still have any chances to beat Nantes in the second leg
