In the first leg, Barcelona seemed to be a bit tired after playing a lot of matches this season. There were a lot of miss passes in the first leg at Old Trafford. Those mistakes gave Manchester United a reason to believe that they could mount a comeback at Camp Nou.

Ernesto Valverde understood this and rested most of his first-teamers against Huesca over the weekend. This gave a much-needed break to the players and they seemed refreshed in the match. Barcelona played beautiful football and won convincingly.

While United were chasing the game, they were also left to chase the shadows as Barcelona was in no good to give the ball. The midfield moved the ball brilliantly as the United midfield was starved for possession. If they can continue the rhythm in the upcoming rounds it would be almost impossible to stop Barcelona.
