No Pedri, Gavi or Busquets for return leg. Hopefully our best defence with Kounde-Araujo-Christensen-Balde will start and be enough to win, will much harder with only 1 starter midfielder with De Jong

Maybe Busquets will be back?

Wait, i have missed something. I saw his foul and though he was given second (because had one in first half) and sent off. Went to pee my frustration out and when returned he was back playing and thought ref shown mercy to him. So what happened? Wasn't second yellow?
It was for accumulation of yellows, this was his third since the beginning of the CL group stage.

Very exciting match. We were missing some key players but so did United. Up until 30th minute we looked great and then something happened and we struggled up until the end. Obviously Pedri injury was key.

Could've gone either way. We weren't far off from being battered and conceding 3-4. Our goals were lucky even if we had some good chances as well. 2-2 was fair.

Thankfully away goal rule is gone, but the draw now makes the return leg a full on final. A final played on United's home soil.

We could have won this at the end. But weird to change a perfectly working defense. And without Pedri, Gavi, Dembele it is going to be tough..
Always hard to chase many titles with such a thin squad.
Lewa had a good first 45, he is getting better. Still almost a goal by that beautiful touch he had. Unlucky.
