Breathtaking game of football and an exceptional performance from us, especially considering the injuries and the fixture schedule we have. It's a shame we didn't come away with the win but a draw away to Barca is a very decent result.

Phew, breathless second-half. Great entertainment but should have won that.

Bit disappointed not to get the win, so good performance. They're not great, think we should beat them at home

What a game of football to watch. Take 2-2, could have scored more, could have conceded more

What a game. I would have taken the draw but dammit we should have won that. Too many wasted chances.

Excellent performance shame about the 2 goals but we could have spanked them, if we play with the same intensity and take our chances at Old Trafford i would expect us to go through.

A brilliant game of football! We went to their place and went toe to toe with them! Either team could have won it in the end. The performance was one of the best this season.

Fascinating game. We were a little bit better overall, though. Poor goalkeeping from both GKs.

How have this lot only conceded 7 goals in La Liga? Is La Liga that bad this season?

Disappointing to not come away with the win, and if it was a CL tie I'd be livid. Luckily it's just the EL, and I believe we'll secure top four anyway. If we go out it'll probably improve our (slight) chances to challenge for the tite.

Fantastic game! That was very enjoyable.

We can beat them at Old Trafford, obviously. Martinez back will be good.

Monstrous game by Rashford. Ref cost us the win. OK result given that Licha is back next week.

Amazing game. I'm very proud of the lads and have full faith in ETH moving forward.

Should've won it - our squad requirements are crystal clear.

Ref can also feck off. Barca defender should've been sent off.
