I don't think Ajax was favorite in this match. Ajax may have played well in the group-stage matches. But now Ajax is not in good form. And this was proved once again in Ajax's performance in this match. Ajax's overall performance is very poor. Ajax players did not try to attack in the first half against Union Berlin. I have never seen an Ajax team play so badly defensively before. They made several attacks in the second half. But in the full 90 minutes, they were not able to make a single shot on target. Ajax failed to win this match due to the poor performance of the forward players.

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.

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.
The handball new controversial. Juventus deserves penalty against nantes. It's very disappointing to see juventus get drawn against nantes. I don't even know what's wrong with referee these days. So many times referee was not even giving penalty for juventus even though referee has been spending a few minutes for VAR. It seems like that VAR didn't even effective to make the game become fair. It's probably VAR that got manipulated as well. it's very sad for juventus with draw against nantes

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.
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.

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.

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.

I dont know how this isnt a penalty. Wtf is wrong with the refs today,how can you not give a penalty for this,its just dissapointing. Juventus should have won the match with this penalty but the refs made things for Nantes a lot easier. Juventus now needs to win in france
just a coincidence 2 big errors against Juve and Barca? can be, but the Superleague is coming soon.
It could not be only coincidence. This can be detected with VAR easily. It reminds me of arsenal's case. Even the referee himself has admitted if referee has made the wrong decision. It's very disappointing that two critical errors happened almost on the same day. Im sure that juventus and barcelona really disappointed with the result. VAR was actually BS.

It was clear that it was difficult for Barcelona to play with Manchester United, ten Hag built a good attacking team, probably one of the best coaches that Manchester United have had in recent years. Manchester United have proven time and time again that they play very well at Old Traford, as well as Barcelona at the Camp Nou. But I can't single out any of the teams in this match, both were very good and a draw is a fair result.

The performance was quite convincing for Man United. They were able to hold off Barcelona's iseri at the Camp Nou. Although they lost possession of the ball, they performed quite well. Casemiro and Varane became players who were able to stop Gavi.  I think Ten Hag are one step ahead because they drew enough at Old Traford. So I'm more confident Man United will qualify for the next phase.

Furthermore, it will certainly be a problem if Barcelona fail to qualify. Maybe they are hoping for the La Liga and Copa Del Rey to get the trophy. Even if it's just the Europa League, it's a matter of team strength.

None was talking about PSV against sevilla. A bit surprised that my prediction was wrong. Sevilla can even defeat PSV with huge scores last night. Luuk de jong must become the player with the worst performance during the match between PSV vs sevilla. His blunders are unacceptable for sure. PSV shall not put him in the starting line up for the upcoming match next week. PSV has been trying so hard to cut the aggregate but all of its offers were useless. I don't even know how possible for PSV to win against sevilla in the next match.
3-0 is quite a lot to be surpassed for the second leg. PSV needs at least 4 goals.

It's quite the surprise indeed. Why ? Well , PSV are having one hell of a season and they were in godlike form before having this game but no matter who you are , you can never underestimate Sevilla , the queen of Europa League. I also don't see PSV have any chances left to qualify as like you said , they need at least 4 goals! 4 goals to qualify if Sevilla won't score any which I found hard to believe.

I didn't expect anything more than a draw from that match. The two teams are in very good form and they displayed very good performance but it was more of a big loss to Barcelona being the host team cuz I know how tough it will be in Old Trafford.
It's a bit suppressing that Eric Ten Hag made just one substitution in the game and was enough to keep the match in a draw state but Xavi made 5 changes but yet couldn't secure a win at camp Nou. Ten Hag is doing a great job.

I have always predicted that the game will end with a draw and nothing else, before now I know Barcelona will find the game very tough because Manchester United a team from the Premier league is not an easy team that Barcelona can easily play with. Manchester United performance was very impressive even if they couldn't make it a win. Barcelona really struggled to equalize the game , I think Barcelona was lucky to have equalize the game which I think Manchester United dominated the game more.

There are some interesting points for me in this fight. and yes, as I previously suspected that Ten Hag would change formation. and that was proven in this fight, with a 4-1-4-1 pattern, leaving Casemiro himself in the middle as a pivot. I really appreciate United's players, at least they were able to play optimally even though Ten Hag changed his formation pattern. meaning, United's players have really adapted to the system that Ten Hag has implemented.

Meanwhile, Xavi also didn't use the formation he usually used. exactly what I expected, that Xavi would use a 4-2-3-1 pattern. two pivots, De Jong and Kessie, Raphinha, Pedri, Gavi, as Lenwandowksi's supporters as the spearhead.Too bad, Perdri had to be taken off in the 41st minute due to injury. interesting, as I said before. This match will be very crucial for Barcelona's young players, it's evident, Gavi was a little frustrated in last night's game.

Overall, Barcelona controlled the game unfortunately Kounde blundered with an own goal. fortunately, Barcelona was able to equalize. next, the match in the second leg will be even more exciting. I hope the Red Devils play more openly when they play at home against Barcelona.

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.

Beautiful game yesterday and I think this was the best result that could have happened because both teams showed a great performance with me being impressed by Manchester United form and also surprised by the fact that the team with the best recent form in all Europe was not able to win in their home field in front of their home crowd.

Still though anything is open for the qualification as now goals that you score away has no more value so even if it ends 0-0 in Old Trafford we will go to additional time and maybe penalties but I still think that Barcelona will qualify further from this duel.
The caste 2 league now has quite a different atmosphere when there are big clubs in it. With the Barcelona vs Man United match already underway, this has attracted a lot of attention. Moreover, the performance of the two teams was in optimal condition so that the end of the game was dramatic.

Leg 2 which will be played at Old Trafford will certainly be a big test, especially for the mentality of the Barcelona players because at Camp Nou maybe Gavi emotions will not be as tense as today's match. Several times Gavi has been under the spotlight for playing quite rough, Xavi job is to keep his players under control and focus on playing to win. Because when a player's emotions are provoked, Barcelona playing strategy will automatically no longer be well structured.

Only 1 -1 for Juventus vs Nantes, they got 3 posts but they don't count.
Everything is still open, and it will another shame if they will fail the qualification.
Also, a penalty is missing at the last minute.

No penalty, WTF

When I saw that, I also think that was 100% a penalty, but bremer from Juventus play unfair before that and that was counted as a foul before. Chiesa have few minutes before a good chance to 2:1, he should have made it, then we would not now talk about the penalty and the shots at the post. Without di Maria, Vlahovic and Chiesa, Juventus maybe have lost. All 3 were involved in the first goal. Next week Thursday Juve must play in France, I hope for a good game and a strong Chiesa.

Barcelona, which should have won the European League home match against Manchester United, had to be willing to draw 2-2 until the last minute. Here the roles of Gavi and Pedri are crucial for Barcelona's midfield, while Manchester United with Casemiro and Fred have made their defense quite solid. Throughout the match the two teams carried out attacks on each other, but here it was the red devils who often put pressure on Barcelona's goal. On the other hand, the goalkeepers of both teams performed quite well by securing several saves in this game. This result will be a little profitable for Manchester United in the second leg later because Pedri is injured and Gavi will be absent due to accumulation of cards.
Just as we expected, a tough match between these two giants. I really enjoy the game, from the starting to the end, it was intensive. The both team really prepared for the game, and no one wants to make a mistake. It's obvious that Marcos Rashford can't be stopped, he's one of the best player in Europe right now. Xavi Hernandez Barcelona coach warmed his team defenders to watch him and never allow him to score. Yet he broke the Barcelona defence and score the equalising goal.

Manchester United will host the second leg at old Trafford by then all Manchester United injury players are back to the squad. Probably they will win Barcelona and qualify to the next stage of the league.
Yes, I also see that there will be bright light for Manchester United to qualify for the next round. The players who were previously absent are likely to return to the starting line-up, but hopefully there will be no more injury problems before the second leg starts later. Maybe it's too early, but I'm very confident that Manchester United will win the second leg and at the same time surpass Barcelona's aggregate gains.

There was a lot of entertainment in the game. Both Ten Hag and Xavi are building good teams. Barca's defense has been a problem for Xavi in the past few games. Kounde seems to enjoy putting Barcelona under pressure during matches, very useless. Right now, Rashford is smashing goals for fun and is at the peak of his career! The performances and efforts United made actually did not deserve a draw, but they will not lose it at Old Trafford. Old Trafford will host their next meeting a week from now. Since Manchester United has a great deal of momentum right now, as well as will get home advantage, we can bet in their favor.

I love Shaw performance yesterday,as Casemiro held down the mid field. Sancho really messed things up in the match,if not Manchester united would have won Barcelona. Barcelona had possessions but missed many chances of winning the match. Xavi boys did a great work,both teams made my evening great

Rashford has being in his scoring form,as any match he plays,if he doesn't score a goal he will not rest,I love his motivation. I don't think any team will be able to Manchester united due to their performance yesterday, I saw the real united spirit back to the team. Barcelona will be playing in Old Trafford next week, I can't wait to for it.
