I wasn't sure whether this competition is going to be interesting or not. If Manchester United performed as badly as they did in the beginning of the season, I think it wouldn't have been such an interesting game. Now that Barcelona is performing so well and Manchester United is also doing quite well, this game is going to be a nice one to watch for sure.
The bad thing about it is that they are meeting so early on. Both teams would have had a positive impact on the competition throughout the entire tournament. Anyway, one is going to be kicked out and it is quite a difficult call who that is going to be. I believe that Barcelona is going to make it. Their defense is so strong and in my opinion that is probably going to be the key.
This competition will always be interesting, especially the Barcelona vs Manchester United match. you know, The Red Devils will not play as bad as they did at the start of this season. the system that Ten Hag implemented for his team, has worked as it should. Ten Hag was able to bring his troops much better, in fact they are currently in 3rd place in the Premier League standings. for sure, the Barcelona vs Manchester United match will be very worthy for us to watch.
On the other hand, Xavi also brought significant changes to Barcelona. since slipping in the Champions League, Barcelona is much better again. if we compare these two teams, at least Barcelona is one level above the Red Devils. plus, Barcelona also benefited by playing as the home team in the first leg. however, it is not an easy matter for Barcelona to overthrow United even though they are playing as the home team.
I am quite optimistic, Ten Hag will not let his team be easily defeated by the opposing team. at least we hope, this fight, will present a very interesting battle.
