Really feels like we are back. Coming away from Camp Nou with a 2-2 draw and feeling unlucky not to win. Lets batter them at OT!

Could've and should've had a penalty to make it 3-1. Fred's handball could've been given as well to be fair. Good performance by the team.

A bit gutted we conceded that 2nd, especially the way we did with the mistake.

Hard to be unhappy with that. We drew away at Barcelona with no bench and with every call going their way.

We were clearly the better side.

Topsy turvy game which he could have killed off if Weghorst was the right level for this game.

Ref was man of the match for Farca

Gavi out of the 2nd leg. Pedri a major doubt. We should be able to finish the job next week.
Still can't help but feel we might regret not bringing back a lead to OT.

Wonderful game of football. But Jesus is every Spanish team made up of whiny, cheating cnuts? How do La Liga fans put up with that shit week in week out

I'm proper fuming. We had that game won. Just gifted them an equaliser. Brilliant game. Ten Hag is working miracles.

Think we should have won. Think Rashford was fouled, but not sure if it was inside the box or not.

really though Fred was going to get a pen with his arm out.

Uefalona. feck the ref and feck those cheating scumbag levers. If they didn't buy the ref they had lost at least 3-1 with 10 men left. Koude should have a red card and a yellow.

Annoyed we didn’t win it. A good marker of how far we’ve come.

I fecking despise European referees.
Exactly. To be honest, we should have buried them with the chances we had. Feeling confident for us at OT next week. Should really be taking them to the cleaners.

How bad is La Liga if this defense is considered the best!

Think we should be more clinical and the way we conceded the second was criminal. Thought they were there for the taking at 1-2.

Improvement in attitude and ambition is clear to see though, enjoyable watch!

That was a very good game, probably the best one of the week.

Fair result in the end. Slightly disappointed we didn’t win it but will take that draw. Confident we will take them at OT next week. I think Gavi is suspended now for the 2nd leg after his booking?

A bit disappointed with our match control, that 2nd goal was a completely needless one to concede. Even more disappointing is that it came from Casemiro, I'd expect that from a Fred or Mctom.

AWB just does not belong in such a match. His ceiling was very glaring for everyone to see, better in the second half.

Fred being typically two different players in each half.

Otherwise decent result from a place where only elite teams have done damage this season.

Well that went better than I feared it might! Frustrating that they equalised, but really pleased that we were in a position for them to need an equaliser.
I think we'll get through alright now.

Great game and a great performance with half our team out. We took the game to them in the second half and our lack of options off the bench led to us losing control in the end. The fact that we feel disappointed with a draw means we're on the right track. Massive props to Ten Hag and the team.

Uh. I'm shocked tbh. That was a fantastic performance at the Camp Nou, tore them apart, should have won the game. Even in shots but we dominated the quality of chances in that game.

Players returning at Old Trafford and them missing their midfield now, we simply have to beat them next week

Magical Manchester United.
Ref bottled it, should’ve sent of Kounde and we would have won comfortably. Regardless, Ten Hag is a miracle worker, what a performance, and absolutely unthinkable just 8-9 months ago. Proud of the team, think we’ll do them next week at Old Trafford.

The very fact that a draw at Camp Nou feels like a disappointment is proof of the progress we have made. Ten Hag is the man!!

Prob a fair result in the end but we could have put that away.

As suspected Barca aren't as solid as their record suggests.

Awesome game to watch though as it always is between these teams.

What a match! A bit disappointed in our game management when 2-1 up, then again they should've had a player sent off when bringing Rashford down. Technically Gavi should've seen red too, but who knows if he makes that tackle if he'd been correctly booked when tripping Bruno in the off ball incident. And we all know how it is in these away games in Spain with the refereeing.

Barca were there for the taking. A decent team, don't get me wrong, but nothing special. Optimistic for the second leg, although it would be nice to get some fresh legs in the match day squad.

Shows how far we’ve come when we should’ve won comfortably.

We have to be confident for next week.

If the ref had some balls we would’ve been playing ten men for most of the second half. Barca’s diving and rolling around was pathetic and he lapped it up.

A big feck you to Xavi too. Why is that cnut not yellow carded?
