In fact United did not muster a single shot on target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Barcelona still posed a threat, with David de Gea saving from Philippe Coutinho and Messi \u2013 and United must now repeat their last-16 heroics against Paris St-Germain in France when they travel to the Nou Camp chasing a semi-final spot against Liverpool or Porto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Man Utd all sweat, no threat<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Manchester United\u2019s players took the applause of Old Trafford \u2013 but it was acknowledgment of a plucky effort rather than praise for any serious quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>United had excellent performers, with youngster Scott McTominay delivering a performance of real maturity, but the bottom line was that they barely laid a glove on Barcelona all night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the frustration for the Premier League side will be that this should be regarded as a missed opportunity because Barcelona were light years away from their flowing best here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was the first time United have failed to have a shot on target in a Champions League game since March 2005, when they lost away to AC Milan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Solskjaer and his side are left hoping for the same sort of miracle that saw them overcome a 2-0 home defeat to come through the last 16 against PSG \u2013 but lightning does not usually strike twice, Barcelona are a superior side and the Red Devils have won only once in the Nou Camp, when they beat Bayern Munich there in the 1999 Champions League final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>United will summon up those spirits but this is very much odds against once more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Barcelona grind out crucial win<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Barcelona have glittered in the Champions League for years. This was a night for the grind and they got the job done. It was undistinguished, unspectacular, but done all the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Suarez got his goal but was only an intermittent threat while Messi occasionally flashed but was often on the margins, not helped by sustaining a facial injury in a first-half challenge by Chris Smalling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coutinho showed glimpses of the brilliance that made him such a precious commodity but this was a night when Barcelona played well within themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was little in the way of celebration from their players at the final whistle as they knew their performance was poor but it was still a giant stride towards the semi-final, and they will be satisfied by how they totally nullified United.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: BBC<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manchester United must produce another unlikely Champions League comeback to keep their hopes alive after Barcelona left Old Trafford with a slender advantage following the quarter-final first leg.
