FC Barcelona 3-0 Manchester United - Best Moments

Manchester United looked like causing trouble at the Camp Nou until Messi decided he was having none of it. That the match in a nutshell.Show more

Manchester United started out strongly and Barcelona were caught sleeping, a better team like Liverpool would've killed the tie by the end of the first ten minutes. Thankfully it wasn't the case, and as soon as the first Messi goal was scored the opponent was beaten.

It's hard to judge this performance, overall it was solid and comfortable, however the initial minutes worry me as much as those 15 minutes after Lyon scored did. The players can't allow this lapse of concentration in the semis and a possible final, and I really hope this was the final warning.

Arthur once again gliding across the pitch, slowing things down when needed and did one fantastic balancing act on the midfield. Outstanding. He's a mainstay for the club in the next ten years. Coutinho played better, scored a wonderful goal and I liked his celebration. He needs to show character, that's more like it! Aside from that better not to make many judgements from a match that was over in 20 minutes.

Messi’s celebration after the first goal was among the most intense and emotional he’s done in his career. A sign of things to come.

Onto the semifinals to face Liverpool, which I consider the hardest match Barcelona will face in Europe since the clash vs Guardiola's Bayern Munich in 2015. If they want a legendary third treble, that's the minimum required.
