Man United vs Barcelona: Barca knocked out of Europa after a stunning United 2-1 comeback

Man United vs Barcelona: Man United fell behind in the tie and on the night when Robert Lewandowski's 18th minute penalty just about beat David de Gea after Bruno Fernandes had grabbed at Alex Balde in the box for a soft spot kick.

But United were rejuvenated following the half-time interval and the introduction of Antony in place of Wout Weghost. The hosts equalised in the 47th minute through a fine finish from the impressive Fred and then sent the fired up Old Trafford crowd wild when Antony guided home a classy finish in the 72nd.

The win was Man United's first over Barcelona since the Champions League semifinals of 2008 and is another major achievement for manager Erik ten Hag in his first season at the club.

United will now look to make it a week to remember when they face Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley on Sunday.

Barcelona, meanwhile, are left to focus on their quest to win LaLiga after having now fallen at the first hurdle in both the Champions League and Europa League this season.
