UEFA Champions League

Teams: FC Barcelona vs Manchester United

Date: 16 April

Venue: Camp Nou

Time: 21:00

The Catalan giants beat United at Old Trafford courtesy of an own goal by Luke Shaw, who is suspended for the second leg, a week ago.

However, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men have upset the odds in this season's edition of the tournament once before – in the second leg of their last 16 tie at Paris Saint-Germain, when they became the first team to overturn a 2-0 home defeat, beating the French champions 3-1 thanks to a last-minute penalty strike by Marcus Rashford.

Barcelona have won the past three games between the two sides, including the 2009 and 2011 Champions League finals, but United have won both previous two-legged ties.

The home side will be keen to advance beyond the quarter-finals after their previous three UCL campaigns ended at this stage, with AS Roma famously knocking them out in dramatic fashion last season.

The LaLiga leaders have progressed 36 out of 38 times when they took an away lead into the second leg in a European fixture, with their last failure to do so dating back to 1984/85, when Metz upset them 4-2 at the Camp Nou after losing the home fixture 1-0.

United, meanwhile, have won just two of their past 16 meetings against Spanish clubs – drawing six and losing eight – and are without victory in their past seven games against LaLiga sides.

Here is how both teams line up:

Barcelona: Ter Stegen, Sergi Roberto, Pique, Lenglet, Alba, Rakitic, Busquets, Arthur, Messi, Suarez, Coutinho

Manchester United: De Gea, Jones, Lindelof, Smalling, Young, McTominay, Fred, Pogba, Lingard, Rashford, Martial

Do you think United can upset the odds again and knock Barcelona out of the Champions League?
