Ronaldo Araújo has been one of LaLiga’s best defenders this season but he will be facing a challenge like no other when Rashford steps out onto the pitch It would put him up against Marcus Rashford, which is something we all want to see. But we don’t care about that, do we? We just want the football! Good work again from the home side. OK; they don't. Camp Nou is rocking! It would be a bonus as well as Kounde, who would be back to his preferred position in the middle. A half-chance for the away side as Fernandes whips in a low cross from the right and Araujo slips and slides to get back quickly enough to see the ball out for a throw. A moment of reflection is being held for the victims of the horrible earthquake in Turkey and Syria. He worked the ball well from a central area to the left of the box and his a ferocious shot from close range that De Gea got a strong palm to! Alba get on the ball in a good area but his pass is poor and the attack breaks down.

Rather than contesting a trophy, though - as these teams did in the 2009 and 2011 Champions League finals - this game will decide whose European season ends. United, in white and attacking from right to left, make a bright start! United have now had two fine opportunities from crosses in quick succession. Marc-Andre ter Stegen saves Barcelona from going behind! Wan-Bissaka tries to create trouble just outside the penalty area on the right, and an offside flag goes up. A huge roar goes up after Barcelona have the best early chance of the half! Barcelona then fail to create any danger with the corner. Now David de Gea is back in action at the other end! Raphinha, who has been a menace all night, curls in a cross from outside the penalty area on the right. This is a nerve-shredding finish to the game. "I say to the players, always, that they have to be angry in a positive way," explained Xavi. 1.8% - Man Utd are currently five points behind Man City and Arsenal, while our predicted table gives the Red Devils a 1.8% chance of winning the title at the end of the campaign.

Dembele's absence on the left flank is set to be filled by one of Gavi, Ferran Torres or Ansu Fati, with Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha completing the front three. Donny van de Beek, Christian Eriksen, Anthony Martial, Scott McTominay and Antony suffer from injury, while Lisandro Martinez and Marcel Sabitzer are suspended. They won the rest of their group games which aided their second-placed finish, which was enough for a place in the knock-outs.
