Just can't see this happening Barcelona could win playing in 2nd gear over two legs, I feel like we will have to play two worldies to go through.
I still think there's question over the teams mentality in big games and I don't mean domestically, we can point towards Juventus and PSG results but we had a fortune of luck in both games. We got played off the park vs PSG at home it was embarrassing. I've yet to see one our main players grab the opportunity to shine on big stages, Rashford, Martial and even Pogba have been subdued (Pogba with exception of his hatrick at City). Surprisingly Lingard to me seems to be the only player who can put in a good 7/10 in crucial fixtures, he's not as talented as our other forwards but he has a very good temperament never seems overshadowed by the gravity of an occasion.
This type of game is a season or two early for us, its not the strongest Barcelona side in recent history but they have a philosophy and a very composed team with quality and experience. Like any opinion I could be completely wrong, on paper we have a chance but the players application is what's important
