UEFA Champions League (LIVE UPDATES): Manchester United face daunting task against Barcelona

UEFA Champions League (LIVE UPDATES): Manchester United face daunting task against Barcelona

byTunde Eludini
April 16, 2019
3 min read

Manchester United have a daunting task ahead of them as they face Barcelona in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League clash at Camp Nou tonight.

The Red Devils lost 1-0 to the Catalan giants in the reverse fixture played at their home ground at the Old Trafford last week.

This development makes it imperative for them to get a better result this night in Spain if they are to stay in the hunt for honours in this season’s Champions League.

In their first leg defeat, Manchester United failed to register a single shot on target for the first time in a Champions League game since March 2005.

Unfortunately, the record books suggest that United are possibly embarking on an uphill if not impossible mission.

Barcelona have not been beaten in 30 Champions League games at Camp Nou and will be confident of maintaining that streak against United, particularly given Lionel Messi’s history against English clubs in the competition.

Messi has scored 22 goals in 31 Champions League games against English opponents, more than any other player in the competition

Kickoff is 8 p.m.
