De Gea fulcrum
Manchester United came to Barcelona at a disadvantage from being behind at home, of course, only a victory right at Camp Nou could help them continue.
The task of Rashford, Martial, Lukaku and Pogba is very clear, but of course, when playing against Barcelona, before thinking about being able to penetrate their net, don't lose the match against them, and one of the people with the biggest task in concretizing that goal, is David De Gea, Manchester United's most reliable support, in this match.
In the first leg, no Barca player was able to penetrate the Spanish goalkeeper's net, the only goal of the match was also a return shot by MU defender Luke Shaw.
De Gea's form will become much more important when the Red Devils travel to Camp Nou tomorrow night when Barca has too many advantages.
Barcelona's quarter-final "class"
However, they have a big advantage before the rematch with MU in the return match when they won away in the first leg. However, Barca's current problem is not their personnel or opponents but what can be called "spiritual" is the "class" of the C1 quarter-finals.
In 4/5 recent seasons, the Catalan giants have been eliminated from the quarter-finals by Serie A representatives Juventus and Roma in the 2016-2019 and 2017-2019 seasons, along with 2 eliminations by Atletico in the 2013-14 and 2015-16 seasons.
In addition, last weekend Barca did not have the best mental preparation when they could not win against bottom team Huesca. Facing MU at the present time is both an opportunity and a challenge for Ernesto Valverde's team to erase the "class" of quarter-finals that has followed them for the past few seasons.
Man United are confident from PSG's unimaginable comeback on the pitch despite losing 2-0 at Old Trafford in the first leg. But in the face of MU being the Barcelona giants, not PSG, the "far away" team with so many advantages, Barca continued to go 36/38 knockout matches when they won the first leg away.
In this comeback, if MU want to continue, they must win against Barcelona at Nou Camp.
The match takes place at 02:00 on the morning of April 17 (Vietnam time).
