Victor Lindelof will be facing the toughest challenge of his career when he comes up against a high flying Barcelona side.

Barcelona's strike force comprises of men like Luis Suarez, Ousmane Dembele and more. But the one man who'll be the focal point of this matchup is the majestic Argentinian, Lionel Messi.

The little magician is arguably the greatest footballer of all time, and it's no secret that if Messi gets going then there is absolutely no power to stop the team.

Lindelof will be wary of how potent Messi is, and the Swede is set for the greatest battle of his career. Lindelof has firmly established himself as United's prime centreback, and Solskjaer identifies him as a dependable guy at the back.

Manchester United devotees will rest their hopes on Lindelof as the Swede will have to play out of his skin to fend off the Barcelona attacks.
