Barcelona and Manchester United are nearing kickoff in the Champions League Quarterfinals at the Camp Nou. Man United are in a hole, having gone down 1-0 at home to Barca in the first leg. It will require perhaps even more magic than their second leg against PSG, considering the sheer dominance Barcelona have shown at home this season.

The much-anticipated first leg at Old Trafford didn’t exactly live up to expectations, as both teams focused more on stopping each other than attacking. The entertaining factor was replaced by plenty of tension and poor play, and apart from a magical first 15 minutes from Barcelona which earned them the only goal of the game, it was not a night to remember in England.
Things should be much different this time around: United have no choice but to attack to at least score a goal and send the game to extra-time. Unfortunately for Man U, Barcelona has routinely dominated at home all season long, pouring in goals and picking apart opponents from start to finish. The Blaugrana haven’t lost at home in any competition in six months, and they’re yet to taste defeat at Camp Nou in four Champions League games this season. If they can avoid defeat again, they’ll reach the semifinal for the first time in four years.
Lionel Messi and Paul Pogba are the superstars on show in this one, but there’s a lot more talent on both sides and the urgency to win from the two teams will make this a fantastic European night.
