Manchester United and Barcelona have a healthy history of European bouts over the course of their histories.
Traditionally, these are on a Champions League stage but this week the two clubs face off in the second leg of their Europa League play-off, something unimaginable a decade ago. United’s last Champions League final saw them succumb to Barcelona at Wembley in 2011.
United's last European trophy came in the 2016/17 Europa League, but their most recent Champions League triumph unforgettably came on a rainy night in Moscow in May 2008. John Terry’s slip is etched in the minds of Chelsea and United fans alike but if a piece of luck brought the club their first Champions League trophy since 1999, then a moment of magic initially sealed their place in the final.
