Manchester United faced a major test against Barcelona in the Champions League group stages in 1994, heading to the Nou Camp to face Johan Cruyff's side two ...

"We were quite good in the last ten minutes of the first-half, we'd come into it and we could've been in front actually. "Messi had two highlights, a fantastic goal that he scored and then made the other one. He was the one who gave us the tactics in 2008 and was the cautious one we needed.” Messi, who scored to put the Catalans 2-1 ahead in the second-half, was instrumental but the Scot felt he could've limited his influence. "That's where I lost the final against Barcelona at Wembley," he told SportBible. "I think it made a difference that the assistant, Carlos Queiroz, was still there then. Dissecting what went wrong, he said: “We were swamped because Barcelona were far cuter than we were and more patient in the application of their tactics. "I should've changed it at half-time and put Ji-Sung Park on Messi. Barcelona ran riot with Romario and Hristo Stoichkov running the show in a 4-0 victory. "Carlos was brilliant with Fergie. “Barcelona gave us a hiding,” said Roy Keane. And three meetings between United and Barcelona in particular marked huge moments in Sir Alex Ferguson’s managerial career.

PREVIEW l FC Barcelona v Manchester United (FC Barcelona)

Thursday at 6.45pm CET brings the first part of a Europa League play-off that promises to be a fabulous encounter.

Barça are chasing their first ever win in this tournament, but United have tasted victory before. Two of those were in the final, with Barça winning on both occasions. This will be the first time that the two clubs have ever met in the Europa League (or the UEFA Cup as it was called before), although they did meet twice in the old Cup Winners' Cup. But while there has been a huge upturn in circumstances at Barça since Xavi took over as manager, things are also starting to look up for the Red Devils. Hence they have gone into this week's play-off round, where the runners-up play against the teams that finished third in their Champions League groups. While Barça have not been collecting trophies at the kind of rate they have grown accustomed to of late, it is now five years since any kind of silverware was added to the Old Trafford trophy cabinet.

Robert Lewandowski has instead been an early-game option up front, and Barcelona have often looked to strike before halftime and then hang on late. Manchester United are solid defensively as well, conceding just four goals in their last six matches across all competitions since the 3-2 defeat to Arsenal. If you add in that Robert Lewandowski is suffering through his first bout of poor form at Barcelona, potentially still rusty from his three-match La Liga suspension back in January, and this looks to be a defensive battle across the 90 minutes. Barcelona have become an incredible defensive side, nearly unrecognizable from their leaky Champions League days earlier this season. Barcelona will control the midfield, and have the better defenders, as well as the in-form goalkeeper of the two clubs. The market inflates the over, as fans want to see goals and end up betting with their hearts. This could prove a tight affair where every moment matters, which is why the draw is our projected result. All-time, Barcelona have won six, lost three, and drawn five against their English opponents. The goalscorers from that game, Lionel Messi and Philippe Coutinho, are no longer with the Spanish club. Up front, Antony and Anthony Martial are both likely to miss the match due to injury. Ousmane Dembele has been missing for weeks with a hamstring injury, and won't quite be ready to return for this big game. It feels early in the tournament for these two high-powered teams to be facing off, but such is the format.
