Manchester United v FC Barcelona - UEFA Champions League Quarter Final: First Leg

The second leg of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals kicks off on Tuesday with Manchester United travelling to the Nou Camp as they look to overturn a 1-0 deficit.

The home side rested 10 of the players that started against the Red Devils last week against the lower ranked Huesca and is raring to have a go at home after United largely frustrated them at Old Trafford. Moreover, the Blaugrana are unbeaten at the Camp Nou for the past 6 years with their last defeat coming in 2013 against Bayern Munich.

Manchester United would have had some of their confidence back even though they had a lacklustre victory against West Ham on Saturday. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his men will be looking for another famous come back victory against another European heavyweight.
