I do not see Barcelona as favourites to be fair, because United did looked bad for a while and yet they are much better right now compared to Barcelona who built a great roster but lost so badly in UCL, so they do not look that great.
I hope that will be the most minority opinion about Barcelona vs Manchester United. While anything that makes Barcelona fail miserably in the Champions League will never be the same when they play for the Europa League. I think the majority will think Barcelona is better including me.
Maybe when you compare the rosters it may look like Barcelona has a better roster but just because they have a better roster doesn't mean they have a better team, which is why I am guessing that it is going to be quite difficult for Barcelona to get a win. I feel like it’s going to be both teams winning at their home, and whichever team won with bigger margin will go to next stage, that type of competition looks quite possible for this match up.
I hope Barcelona will win both legs of the match later against Manchester United. I believe it's true, certainly not because of the roster but I think Barcelona's game is still better than Manchester United's.
Even in the previous season, Barcelona were thrown into the Europa League but the results were very bad, because Barcelona were eliminated in the quarter-finals by Eintracht Frankfurt. So even though Barcelona have players who look more luxurious, but Xavi can't give the best for Barcelona outside of La Liga.
So I also believe that for Manchester United it is better than Barcelona, because Manchester United under Erik ten Hag has made good progress.
So if you say it's the most minority opinion but I don't think so, because the quality of their performance is basically not much different because their coach has a lot of influence on their performance.
Therefore, any result in this match will still happen, it means that Barcelona will not always win. Because at this moment there is nothing special for Barcelona to play in a European tournament, because they get the same failure as last season.
