Manchester Utd v Barcelona Pick

Manchester Utd v Barcelona
Champions League
Tuesday, 7.45pm (UK time)


Manchester United and Barcelona start over at Old Trafford on Tuesday with a place in the final the reward for the victor.

It’s hard to say who the 0-0 first leg draw in Spain favoured. It gives United the knowledge that a home win would see them through, but Barca know that just a single away goal would mean the hosts having to score twice.

Either way, Tuesday night will bring to an end some of the most impressive Champions League records going and on balance, this tie looks as evenly poised as can be.

Man Utd have won their last 11 consecutive European home fixtures, which is a Champions League record. Obviously this means they are unbeaten at home this season, with five wins out of five, nine goals scored and just one conceded.

However, for all their defensive frailties domestically, Barcelona are equally impressive on the road in Europe. The Catalans are unbeaten away from the Nou Camp this season, winning three of five, scoring eight and conceding four in the process.
As it looks so close it could pay to back two likely scorelines: one which would send United through to the Final and one which would do the same for Barca due to the away goal rule.
