This is the first Champions League meeting between Barcelona and Manchester United since the 2011 final, which Barcelona won 3-1 at Wembley.
United have never lost a home European match against Barcelona (W2 D2 L0), with this the first meeting between the sides at Old Trafford since the second leg of the 2007/08 Champions League semi final, a 1-0 win for the Red Devils.
This is Barcelona’s 17th Champions League quarter final appearance, a joint-record with Bayern Munich; they have qualified for a 12th successive season, a competition record.
Manchester United have won two of their last 11 Champions League knockout ties (W2 D3 L6), failing to win either of their quarter-final games in the 2013-14 season under David Moyes against Bayern Munich.
