Five talking points from Manchester United 2-1 Barcelona

Barcelona suffered more misery in Europe as they were dumped out of the Europa League before the last 16 stage by Manchester United.

Xavi’s side faced a tough test up against an in-form United team but had progression in their own hands after going 1-0 up at Old Trafford thanks to a Robert Lewandowski penalty.

Yet the hosts came roaring back in the second half, inspired by Erik ten Hag’s changes, scoring twice to book their place in the draw for the last 16.

All of which means that it’s yet another poor night in Europe for Barcelona and continues their recent abysmal record on the continent.
