Barcelona host Manchester United on Tuesday, April 16, in the return leg of the quarterfinals of the 2018/2019 Champions League. At the Camp Nou, in Catalonia, Spain, the meeting starts scheduled for 16h.
The Spanish team won 1-0 in England. This way you can advance in case of a new success or a tie. The English will win a minimum advantage, but as long as they score at least two goals.If they return the game marker in Manchester, a 30-minute extension will be held in which the goalscoring draw benefits them. Only in case of equality in 0 to 0 in the extra time there will be decision by penalties. The winner of the match will face in the semifinals who do better in the duel involving Liverpool and Porto.
Barcelona
In a much quieter situation in the Spanish Championship, Barcelona can afford to send the field a team almost entirely made up of reserve athletes on Saturday, April 13, to face Huesca, lantern of LaLiga. He came home with a goalless draw and an extension of his unbeaten run to eight bouts (six wins and two draws).With 74 points (22 victories, eight draws and two losses), he had his advantage over Atletico Madrid, second placed, who beat Celta 2-0, reduced to nine points. However, with six rounds remaining, winning the title is only a matter of time.Coach Ernesto Valverde took advantage of the match that gave players such as Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Gerard Pique – the latter two suspended to test the physical capacity of French striker Ousmane Dembélé.Recovered from injury, Dembélé, had been linked for the first time after his injury just at the match in Manchester, but was not used. In Huesca, he acted for 66 minutes showing evolution in his physical conditioning. It is unlikely to be among the starters on Tuesday, but has shown that it can be triggered if necessary. Defender Thomas Vermaelen is out for injury; and the campers Rafinha and Sergi Roberto.
Manchester United
In a fierce fight for a place in the Premier League G4, which yields exactly the classification for the 2019/2020 edition of the Champions League, Manchester United can not use the same strategy as Barcelona.The game showed that coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was right to make that choice. Not counting the reds with great help from the refereeing would not have won, at home, West Ham for the thirty-fourth round of the English Championship. They have thus reached 64 points (19 wins, seven draws and seven losses) but are still out of the qualifying zone for the next Champions League through the national tournament.The encounter, although not a great performance, at least broke the sequence of two defeats of the team. But injuries dry up being a problem. Defenders Eric Bailly and Antonio Valencia are in the care of the medical department; midfielders Ander Herrera and Nemanja Matic; and striker Alexis Sanchez.Of this group, there is only the expectation that Sanchez and Matic can be released in time to face Barcelona. In the case of the Chilean, who never signed as holder, would be just another option for the reserve bank. Matic, however, had been instrumental in United’s growth trajectory and since his injury the team has seen a major drop in production and results. However, even if you receive the green light, after more than a month away, you will hardly be at the best of your fitness.
