VIDEO: MU wounded soldiers celebrate victory over PSG

MU created one of the most classic comebacks in Champions League history.

Overcoming the PSG mountain, the C1 quarterfinal draw brings MU to continue to face a higher mountain named Barcelona.

In both of the last two C1 finals in 2009 and 2011, MU had to watch Barcelona lift the championship.

Eight years have passed, MU is no longer led under the direction of Sir Alex Ferguson, while Messi is still hunting for new records.

That’s why the Norwegian coach and assistant Mike Phelan personally came to Nou Camp to watch the match between Barcelona and Atletico last weekend.

The central defenders that coach Solskjaer has at his disposal are almost incomparable when compared to Atletico’s Godin and Gimenez.

MU’s only fulcrum at the moment is Old Trafford’s home field, where the Red Devils defeated Barcelona 1-0 with a long-range shot from Paul Scholes in the semi-final second leg of the 2007/08 season.

MU

– Pogba will return to the squad after ending his one-match ban in MU’s victory over PSG in the 1/8 round of the Champions League.

– Rashford and Herrera were both absent from MU’s loss to Wolves last weekend, so they will definitely be fit again in this match.

– Coach Solskjaer will not have the services of Matteo Darmian, Eric Bailly, Antonio Valencia and Alexis Sanchez.

Barcelona

– Dembele has a chance to return after a hamstring injury, but coach Valverde certainly doesn’t want any risks to happen to the young French striker.

– Rafinha is out until the end of the season due to injury.

MU: De Gea, Young, Smalling, Lindelof, Shaw, Matic, Herrera, Pogba, Rashford, Lingard, Martial

Barcelona: ter Stegen;

Score prediction: MU 1-2 Barcelona
