Manchester United played out a thrilling 2-2 draw with Barcelona in Thursday’s Europa League play-off first leg at the Nou Camp.
Marcos Alonso’s header just after half-time was cancelled out by yet another goal from Marcus Rashford on 52 minutes. The in-form striker was involved in United’s second goal seven minutes later when his cross came off Jules Kounde and found the net.
Raphinha brought the scores level again on 76 minutes with the hosts going on to press for a winner. Several terrific stops from David de Gea and a near-miss from Casemiro’s straggling boot meant we were treated to a dramatic final 15 minutes but United travel back to Old Trafford enthused by a good result and a terrific performance.
