Barcelona vs Man Utd prediction: Champions League 2019 lineups, live stream, TV channel, odds, highlights, h2h

Barcelona vs Man Utd
Uefa Champions League 2018-19
Quarter-final, second leg (aggregate 1-0)
Venue: Camp Nou, Barcelona
Kick-off: 8pm GMT, Tuesday, 16 April, 2019

Manchester United need another Champions League miracle at Camp Nou if they are going to reach the semi-finals at the expense of Barcelona.

United's route to the quarter-finals saw them pull off a stunning comeback win over PSG on away goals, beating the French giants 3-1 in Paris after losing the first leg 2-0 at home.

Now having lost the first leg of their last-eight tie 1-0 to Barca at Old Trafford, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Red Devils must climb another mountain on the road if they are to progress.

United's trip to Camp Nou comes almost 20 years to the day that Solskjaer scored a Champions League-winning injury-time goal against Bayern Munich, and the Norwegian needs to channel the spirit of '99 if his side are going to stand any chance of seeing off Lionel Messi & Co.

Score prediction: Barcelona 2-1 Man Utd

Barca were far off their best at Old Trafford yet still managed to get a result, and it is unlikely that Messi will be as off-colour as he was in Manchester.

Expect United to offer more of an attacking threat at Camp Nou - it would be hard to do worse than the total of zero shots on target they managed in the first leg - but Barca will be fresh and ready.

United certainly have a chance if they press well - and especially if they pressure Sergio Busquets, who has looked a weak link in recent weeks - but they are likely going to have to take every chance while somehow keeping Messi quiet.
