Barça rules at Old Trafford
Good first half for Barcelona at Old Traffordunhinging and despairing of a much inferior United compared to the first leg.
The first part began as expected, with great intensity, which has been maintained until the end. Bruno Fernandes had the first with a shot in the area cleared by Ter Stegen with his leg.
Little by little, through intense, suffocating high pressure, and a very safe defense, Xavi’s men managed to manage the match and control United. After some attempt by Raphinha came the penalty, committed by Bruno Fernandes against Balde. A childish penalty that Lewandowski transformed, about to be stopped by De Gea.
After the goal, United have not fully recovered. Many inaccuracies, a lot of pressure with uncomfortable players, and Barça managing the return.
Those of Ten Hag have had some like another shot from Bruno Fernandes or a poisoned cross from Fred. And Barça has arrived through Raphinha or some robbery in the De Gea area that could have been the second.
