The Europa League is more interesting than ever this season. There are a lot of interesting teams playing in it, including the European giants. The very first knockout round saw Barcelona and Manchester United duel.
Barcelona played the first match on Thursday evening at the Camp Nou. And right from the first half, their goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen had to make several saves. First he saved a Wout eghorst penalty, then he made a great save against Marcus Rashford.
The Rashford vs. ter Stegen duel was expected to be the key in this match. Ter Stegen has already kept 17 clean sheets this season, enough for 29 games. Moreover, he has only conceded 20 goals across all competitions.
The English striker, for his part, has shot up especially after the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo and thus the end of the World Cup. Since then, he has netted 13 competitive goals, to which he has also added 4 assists.
Rashford even scored in seven straight games after the World Cup. He is currently one of the most dangerous players on the planet thanks to his form and he proved it against Barcelona.
When Barcelona were leading 1-0, it was Rashford who levelled the match at 1-1. And that was with a shot from an angle that clearly surprised ter Stegen.
Barcelona then scored a goal of their own and the Englishman started the turnaround. However, it didn’t last long. The Catalans punished one of their mistakes in the midfield and Robert Lewandowski scored.
