Barcelona vs Man Utd – European giants collide in huge Europa ... (The Irish Sun)

IF YOU had told Chelsea fans that Andreas Christensen would be the beating heart of Europe's best defence this season, many would have laughed.After.

“The first defender is Robert Lewandowski. [Marcel Sabitzer](https://www.thesun.ie/who/marcel-sabitzer/) is also unable to play for the same reasons - but he picked them up while playing for Bayern Munich instead. For a team that is under pressure to entertain, the willingness to put in a shift - even though Barca will be without the injured Sergio Busquets and Ousmane Dembele against United - has been a huge signal of intent. - Subscription members of BT Sport can head to BT Sport website or the BT Sport app to stream the entire action live. “But it doesn’t always happen like that and we are winning many games by the minimum because of the way we defend.” That's where the intensity in the pressure begins and it infects the rest. “The defender who has surprised me the most is Christensen , who is having a great performance and has adapted quickly.” It is a testament to his anticipation and timing, with the Dane more at home in a League that does not require the same physical commitment as the Prem. He said: “At the defensive back line, we are seeing more of Araujo and Christensen in the central axis. While the rugged Araujo has earned many of the plaudits, it is Christensen who has caught the eye with the calm assurance he was expected to bring to SW6 - but was never quite able to deliver. [Barca lost 3-1 at the Bernabeu in their last league defeat](https://www.thesun.ie/sport/football/9577291/real-madrid-barcelona-clasico-match-report-karim-benzema/) while his absence was equally critical in the decisive Champions League home games against Inter and Bayern - when the Nou Camp side twice shipped three goals. And Manchester United have to solve the puzzle that has frustrated Spain if they are to stay on course for Europa League glory.

The new generation of football fans tuning into the Europa League blockbuster playoff between traditional European powerhouses Manchester United and ...

After running through a revolving door of coaches, United seem to have finally settled on Dutchman Erik ten Hag, who after a rather shaky start to the season with losses to Brentford and Brighton, has really turned United around. Barcelona, meanwhile, are on a 11-match unbeaten streak, with their 1-1 draw against Espanyol in December the only match they had failed to win. Since Ferguson left, United have reached the quarterfinals twice, been eliminated at the last-16 stage twice and failed to make it out of the group on two occasions. The next season would be one of the darkest memories for any Barcelona fan when they were demolished 8-2 by Bayern Munich in one match. In the 2018/19 season, they lost 0-4 at Anfield in the second leg of the semifinals having won the 1st leg at Camp Nou 3-0. Since winning the UCL in 2015, Barcelona’s Champions League form has gone from bad to worse.

Erik ten Hag is in his first season with Manchester United and is overseeing a strong campaign from the Red Devils. Barcelona have the edge when it comes to the overall record between the two sides, particularly in recent meetings. Garnacho’s pace and trickery down the left is a weapon for Manchester United. Hopefully, everyone is fit for Barcelona and for us. There’s plenty of quality in the United squad but one player to watch out for in particular as young attacker Alejandro Garnacho. Manchester United’s main threat will come from Marcus Rashford who arrives at the Camp Nou in the best form of his career so far.

“(Xavi) has a plan, maybe it’s taken longer than he expected, but you see results step by step. Ten Hag also guided Manchester United into the EFL Cup final and the FA Cup fifth round, maximising their chances of earning their first silverware since winning the Europa League in 2017. Ten Hag has helped striker Marcus Rashford find his best form, with 13 goals in his last 15 games, and the team has climbed to third in the table. We have a better idea of what to do on the pitch and this is key to success.” The coach, who starred for Barcelona in midfield in their 2009 and 2011 Champions League final victories over Ferguson’s Red Devils, is returning his side to their former glory. Barcelona hosts Manchester United Thursday in a match-up that has twice graced the Champions League final but this week has the relative ignominy of taking place in the Europa League play-off round.

Barca will be without Ousmane Dembele and Sergio Busquets but come into the tie having won 15 of their past 16 games in all competitions, drawing the other. The club also lost millions in commercial payments from missing out on the Champions League. Christian Eriksen is among four players out with injury, though winger Antony could be declared fit. [Real Madrid](https://www.irishmirror.ie/all-about/real-madrid-cf) banked more than €100m for last season’s Champions League win, where they defeated [Liverpool](https://www.irishmirror.ie/all-about/liverpool-fc) in the final, while Europa League winners Eintracht Frankfurt made only about €40m. Manchester United return to the scene of the greatest moment in their club’s history on Thursday night for a Europa League tie that would typically top the billing of any United will not even make that amount should they go all the way in the Europa League - although the real top prize is a guaranteed spot in next season’s Champions League.
