Looking forward to the friendly tonight. I haven't watched either game so far, expect the brief highlights. However this one is a bit different. Whenever Utd play Barca, even if it's a friendly, you simply have to watch it don't you?
Obviously the result means nothing, however it's still an important game in some regards. Important to see how we're coming along in time for our CL knockout game and Spurs in PL.
Without Messi & Neymar.....you'd have to fancy our chances too. Certainly a lot better with those two missing. We beat Real Madrid this time last year too didn't we?
Also be interesting to see the crowd split. We're incredibly popular in America but so are Barcelona. I'd say the game last year vs Madrid was 70/30 in our favour but with Barcelona's S American links, I'd imagine it will be a lot closer tonight.
Hope it's a decent game and not a testimonial pace. We need a stern test to see where we are.

How much better did we look with a little pace and players able to control the ball and make runs.

Don't read too much into this result guys. Great game for a friendly and fantastic to beat the best team on the planet.
But please don't start over analysing everything like last summer. We won 6 out of 6 last summer, including wins against Madrid n Liverpool, and we were horrendous when PL started.
Good match practice. Good fitness. But we haven't learned a great deal. We all know that if we get Barca in the CL, they will rip us a new one.
Enjoyed it though. Pleased for the team.

Only possible to make runs when teams like Barca play a higher line
