Barcelona are showing a different strength in the team comparing to what has been their identity. Their best side is the defensive one, having conceded only one goal in their last six games in La Liga. Starting with how solid they were in that streak they were able to get six wins in a row. The Cules are in this draw because they were disappointing in the Champions League, but they got back on track.
For Manchester United this will be one of the many opportunities they have to win a title. They have been inconsistent lately in a run that had them with just one victory in four matchups, although they turned things around against Leeds United. The Red Devils won 2-0 away to stay close to the leaders in the Premier League.
