Barcelona may be leading La Liga by a handsome eight-point margin but once again in European competition the Catalan club fell short
Brazilians Fred and Antony secured the comeback win for the English Premier League side, after Robert Lewandowski had given the visitors a first-half lead from the penalty spot. It is the first time since the 1998-99 season that Barcelona has failed to reach the last 16 in European competition and the team’s first defeat since October, ending an 18-match unbeaten run.
“We played against top level clubs like Bayern Munich, Inter Milan and now Manchester United and were not able to be up to their level. “Now what is left to us is to be humble and self-evaluate on how we can be better to compete at the highest level in Europe next season.” For Manchester United, its season continues to be one that promises much as the club remains in four competitions. Manager Erik ten Hag was buoyant after Thursday’s win.
