The 2nd of April saw a plethora of action across some of Europe’s finest leagues with several entertaining clashes adorning the mid-week fixtures. Numerous big teams of the ilk of Manchester United, Juventus, AC Milan, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid played on the night with varying fortunes.

The Red Devils travelled to Wolves for a crunch Premier League encounter. However, the away side weren’t able to get the desired result as they went down 2-1 to Nuno Espirito Santo’s men. After Scott McTominay popped up with the opener, the visitors succumbed to the hosts’ pressure. Diogo Jota levelled in the 25th minute before a Chris Smalling own goal in the 77th minute handed Wolves the initiative. To make matters worse for Manchester United, Ashely Young was sent off just a few minutes before the hour mark.

In the La Liga, Ateltico Madrid put pressure on Barcelona with a routine 2-0 victory over Girona. Antoine Griezmann and Diego Godin scored for the Los Rojiblancos as Diego Simeone’s men warmed up perfectly for the trip to the Camp Nou at the weekend.

Barcelona salvaged a point at the death

Barcelona, on the other hand, had to toil hard to salvage a point at Villareal in a titanic 4-4 draw. Arguably the game of the season, the match saw countless moments of brilliance. The away side rushed off the blocks and took a two-goal lead courtesy Malcom and Philippe Coutinho.

However, they were pegged back with the hosts making the net ripple on four occasions through Samuel Chukwueze, Karl Toko Ekambi, Vicente Iborra and Carlos Bacca. Yet, like many an occasion before, Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez saved the day with two strikes deep into the game to draw parity.

In Italy, Juventus brushed aside Cagliari’s challenge as Leonardo Bonucci and Moise Kean secured a comfortable 2-0 victory.
