Manchester United and FC Barcelona are locked in a thrilling end-to-end battle at Camp Nou. After the first quarter of this tie, it’s all square. Manchester United dominated play, but Wout Weghorst was unable to convert his opportunity.

Both teams had chances, but Marc-André ter Stegen made several crucial stops to keep Barcelona in the game. Barcelona has 61% possession and control of the ball, but Manchester United has generated 1.1 xG, which is greater than Barcelona’s 0.46 xG. Pedri was injured in the first half and was replaced by Sergio Roberto. Barcelona has also committed some reckless tackles, which might result in a red card.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka has been inconsistent and sluggish at times. Fans have reacted to his performance and the nail-biting first half, which was end-to-end. These are some classic reactions to the game:

Whenever United attacked, they were dangerous. Will Marcus Rashford score in the second half, or will Robert Lewandowski perform his classic celebration? This will be a critical encounter for both teams, with the rematch taking place next week at Old Trafford.
