- Surely, the penalty call was not that controversial?
- Barcelona are out of the Europa League and their Old Trafford hoo-doo continues. They have now been knocked out at Old Trafford in three consecutive ties in Europe
- 95' FINAL WHISTLE
- 94' Varane makes a last-ditch clearance to surely win this game for Manchester United after Lewandowski was put through on goal for Barcelona
- 89' Five minutes of extra time to be played and Old Trafford reacts to the news like an airplane taking off.
- It's still 2-1 to Manchester United on the night, and if it stays like this, Barcelona will be out of the Europa League

)
- Manchester United's pressure finally pays as Antony scores with a brilliant side-footed effort into the bottom corner to put Manchester United 2-1 in front on the night, and 4-3 in front on aggregate
- 73' GOAL MANCHESTER UNITED
- 70' Barcelona make their first change with the in-form-again Ferran Torres taking the place of Sergi Roberto
- 65' The first change of the night, and it is a double substitution as Alejandro Garnacho and Diogo Dalot come on for Jadon Sancho and Aaron Wan Bissaka
- 64' Just as I say that Barcelona come within a De Gea glove of taking the lead again. Kounde denied from a point-blank header by the Spanish goalkeeper. I'm starting to feel like a jinx
- 62' We are just past the hour mark and Barcelona still have not tested Manchester United's resolve with a shot on goal this half.
- 58' Ooh there is a little fight brewing now and the referee has to take charge of the situation. Bruno Fernandes gets a yellow card for instigating trouble by firing the ball into de Jong while he was on the floor
- It's not just Rashford finding form under Erik Ten Hag
- 55' 10 minutes after the break and Manchester United have stopped Barcelona from taking any shots this period
- 53' Barcelona look absolutely shell-shocked by that goal and they are struggling to find the composure with thick they played most of the first half
- Just as we were praying to the gods for goals, Fred makes it 1-1 to Manchester United with a neat finish from the edge of the area
- 47’ GOAL MANCHESTER UNITED
- 46’ Wr are back on the way. The start of the second half, hopefully we see a similar second half to last week when four goals were scored in 45 minutes
- If nothing else happens, at least we finally got to see Frenkie de Jong at Old Trafford
- 45' That's it for the first half, Barcelona ahead going into the break, thanks to a poorly taken but ultimately converted Lewandowski penalty
40' Five minutes to half-time and Barcelona still hold all the aces. We haven't seen sparks fly like in the first leg, but to be fair, all the action last week was in the second half
- What has Wout Weghorst done wrong today? Absolutely nothing. What has Weghorst done right today? Sadly...also nothing
- Manchester United have been knocked out by Spanish opposition in each of their last five European campaigns
- 30' Still 1-0 to Barcelona at Old Trafford, this is exactly how it ended the last time Barcelona played here, that time, a goal from Luke Shaw the only goal on that occasion.
- Despite the early goal, Barcelona are playing it safe, and simply circulating the ball around the midfield. Their 61% possession suggests they are doing it quite well
- Breaths are held on the Barcelona bench as Ronald Araujo comes off after needing treatment, but it looks like he will be alright
- De Gea couldn't keep that one out despite getting a hand on the penalty, an Barcelona go 1-0 up on the night, and 3-2 o aggregate

16' Penalty to Barcelona! Balde fouled in the box by Bruno Fernandes of all people
11' It is still 0-0 at Old Trafford, and with the 2-2 scoreline from the first leg, the game will go into extra time if it stays like this. Remember, no away goal rule anymore
- 03' Barely five minutes in and Marc-Andre ter Stegen is already tested by a stinging drive from Bruno Fernandes
- 00' That is kick off at Old Trafford, let us see which of these fallen giants goes into the next round
- Barcelona have also enjoyed some very good days against Manchester United recently and the Red Devils will be glad a certain Argentine is no longer in the Catalan fold
Barcelona have not enjoyed trips to Old Trafford like I mentioned earlier, they have lost two knockout stage matches played there and few will be more memorable than this for the Red Devils
- But they have gotten some over the Catalan giants thanks to some truly great players
- The first time these two met, it did not nd so well for the Red Devils
- Meanwhile there is no place for Jordi Alba for Barcelona. He made our combined XI though, he will be more than pleased with that
- Birthday boy Casemiro makes the starting line up for Manchester United
- Barcelona have not won a tie on aggregate against Manchester United when the second leg was played at Old Trafford
- Interestingly, three of Barcelona's six wins have come in European finals, and they have not had much luck against Manchester United in European knockout games, as Manchester United has qualified on two occasions out of three in two-legged knockout ties.
- Barcelona have come out on top more times than Manchester United have, winning six of these fixtures, while Manchester United have won only three
- Manchester United have played Barcelona 14 times in Europe, with 10 of those coming in the Champions League, three in the European Cup winners cup and one in the Europa League, which ended in a 2-2 draw last week.
