Manchester United arrived in Barcelona hindered by injuries to play an in-form side in a stadium they had never beaten them in before. They left with a creditable draw which will give them confidence of reaching the next round of the Europa League.
United’s clash with Barca was given the big billing and on this occasion, it delivered, with four second-half goals producing an enthralling 2-2 draw in the knockout tie. Marcos Alonso’s back-post header from a corner put the home side in front before United sprung into life.
Marcus Rashford continued his fabulous form by racing through to beat Marc-Andre ter Stegen at the near post before he took advantage of a short corner to fire a dangerous cross into the penalty area where Jules Kounde put it into his own net.
