Barcelona’s Spanish midfielder Pedri celebrates scoring his team’s first goal during the Spanish League football match between Villarreal CF and FC Barcelona at La Ceramica stadium in Vila-real on February 12, 2023. AFPPIX: Barcelona host Manchester United Thursday in a match-up which has twice graced the Champions League final but this week has the relative ignominy of taking place in the Europa League play-off round.
The teams last met in 2019 when United's harsh decline in the barren decade after Sir Alex Ferguson's reign was in full swing and Barcelona's deep slide was about to begin. Barcelona have conceded just seven goals in La Liga this season, keeping 16 clean sheets from 21 matches, and Xavi's side are unbeaten in 16 games across all competitions.
“It’s over a year now since Xavi came and many things have changed, probably also the mentality and the way we defend,“ said Ter Stegen this week.
