Two goals against, an injury and a second half that could not be controlled in a large part. This is how you can define very well what the Barça squad had in their return to European competitions

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona went out with a tie (2-2) of his first party in the second phase of the Europe League. The Barcelona team, that had some rotations in his eleven headline, knew to bear his more complicated moments of the party and could avoid the defeat and traced back of the Manchester United that did that several footballers of the staff had to squeeze to the maximum.

After more than 4 months without playing a party in Europe, the Barça seems that it felt the distinct rhythm that has in this type of parties, especially when it involves to English teams and his incessant vertigo. Xavi read this very well from the bench and to the hour of party did the changes that finally would allow to the team control much better the last minutes of the party, and even be much more near of the victory that the ones of Old Trafford.

Ter Stegen

The German, as any guardameta when they do him a goal by the short stick, was manager in the first so much. Although the definition of Marcus Rashford was fast and very very executed, is a balloon that never has to go through this area. However, in the first time had two very good interventions and with the feet was so solid as always.

Araújo

The Uruguayan was like right side the first hour of party, and especially in the first time saw him comfortable and sure in spite of all the time that had happened playing as central since it returned of his injury. It controlled very well to Sancho at all times and did it happen unobserved almost all the party.

Koundé

The French, for surprise of many, returned to the centre of the defence and by little more than 60 minutes shared this zone of the defence with Marcos Alonso that it was to title of unexpected way. The French was very well in the aerial game, but cost him the clear exit of balloon when it had to happen to the side, although his speed always was a big tool to the hour of the long balloons of the United.

Marcos Alonso

The Spanish, author of the first goal of the Barça, went one of the surprises of Xavi for the beginning of the party. Everything indicates that the technician wanted to throw of his left-handed profile and good deal with the balloon, in addition to allowing a rest to Christensen that came being the one who more minutes had loaded in the defence of the Barcelona club.

Jordi Alba

The side was the captain in front of the English and showed that his offensive capacity always is a weapon with which the technical body can explain. It was about to to force a penalti of Wan-Bissaka, that for a lot of himself was, although when the party went in in a frantic dynamics, Xavi preferred to do go in the youth and power of Balde.

Frenkie Of Jong

In a party in which there was not a big figure on the field for the culés, the Dutch probably had the most correct performances during the 90 minutes. Attendant to replace to Busquets, the ex Ajax tried to handle the possession of the balloon and only made a mistake in five passes of the 45 that tried during the commitment.

Kessié

The rhythm much more pausado of the first time did that the marfileño could not lucir so much, although as Of Jong fulfilled with a correct party and did not fall in problems of faults or cards, something that is used to to be part of his game since it arrived to Spain. It won his three aerial duels and brushed 100% in his attempts of passes in the 67 minutes that was on the field.

Pedri

The mediocampista more talentoso of the Barça could not complete the party, not even the first part of the same. A muscular problem in his right leg has left him 'KO' after 40 minutes and Sergi Roberto has had to go in in his place, leaving to the culés without the possibility of his good associations with Gavi and Lewandowski.

Gavi

The canterano of the Barça saw the yellow card in the second time and will not be able to be in the turn. His accustomed dynamic was present, but did not find by the left band the sufficient space to be able to add danger in attack. It was not too hit in his passes and surpassed the ten losses of balloon.

Raphinha

His anger when being replaced by Ferran Torres surely was very justified by part of the Brazilian when feeling that it was being the best of the field, something that yes sucedió. His left-handed was very present in this occasion and left until three finish to the goal of the United, one more dangerous that the previous. So much, that of a centre to Lewandowski finished planting the tie in the marker.

Lewandowski

The party of the Pole remembered that Classical in the Bernabéu of the first turn or the meeting in front of the Inter of Milan in Italy. The '9' of the Barça was desconectado during almost all the moments of the party and Varane commissioned very very that it could not receive balloons between line and download of first, in addition to that by up did not have any too clear opportunity.

Christensen

The central was acting in spite of that was doing very good parties and receiving constant praises. It showed sure from the moment that ingresó and solved each problem that had of an effective way

Sergi Roberto

Ingresó After the injury of Pedri and logically could not offer an alike game to the of the Canarian. However, it would finish like captain and handled well the times of the possession in the end of the party.

Ferran Torres

The Spanish keeps on being the ultima option of Xavi in the forward. 10 minutes to try revertir his 'grey' present were not sufficient.

Ansu Fati

When Xavi had to look for the party thought in his '10' and put him a very clear mission: look for the goal of Of Gea. The extreme had varied finish very interesting, although in a moment to the first already achieved to celebrate

Balde

Backed in his youth, took out all his available speed to give him very good 25 minutes to the Barça in his band, one in which Rashford no longer could create so much danger.
