Barcelona has been a juggernaut in the ongoing La Liga and are 1st in the La Liga 2022-23 points table. They have lost just 1 game in 21 matches and would be hoping to extend their dominance across Europe.
The Red Devils on the other hand are coming on the back of a 2-0 victory against Leeds United. Erik Ten Hag’s men have looked pretty good and are presently 3rd in the Premier League (PL) 2022-23 points table.
German goalkeeper of Barcelona, Marc-Andre ter Stegen will be oozing with confidence as he already has registered 17 clean sheets in 29 games in this season. He will be key to the chances of the Catalan Giants.
