It wasn’t going to be for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer back in Barcelona as Lionel Messi sent Barcelona through to the last four where they are going to meet the winner between Liverpool and Fc Porto.
This was Manchester United’s heaviest ever aggregate defeat (0-4) in a two-legged European tie; their previous heaviest was 2-5 v AC Milan in the 1957-58 European Cup semi-final and 1-4 v Atletico Madrid in the last 16 of the 1991-92 Cup Winners’ Cup.
Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer accepted the defeat on BT Sport saying: “I have to say Lionel Messi is top quality and he was the difference of course. At 2-0 straight after it was game over.
“He’s different class, he and Cristiano Ronaldo are the best players of the last decade, everyone agrees on that one. Messi showed his quality.
“We have to aspire to get to that level of Barcelona, we can get there but we have loads of work to do. If we want to get back to Man Utd’s true level, true traditions, we have to challenge Barcelona.
But of course the players did not show good play all along the match with goal keeper receiving much of the blame online for his poor goal keeping tactics that were not professional or gutsy enough.
The player who has been linked to a possible transfer was on the receiving end with some of the fans proposing him to be sold immediately and another football suggested that even Arsenal cannot pick him on a free transfer.
Hailed as one of the world’s best, Ari Ben believes that the man does not qualify to feature anywhere in the list of the great players in the world, the performance took away all the credits he has had before.
Another fan suggests that the man has continued to be poor day after the other and that his heart is not even at Manchester United hence the reason as to why he conceded such goals especially the Messi ones a thing that we are not used to seeing fro him.
The second goal from Messi is what many United fans are crying foul over, it was somewhat cheap and slow from his right leg which he does not often use, or even doesn’t strike heavy with but the ball just went under his armpits under full glare.
This was just after the lethal striker counted defenders down to score. They were playing like school boys.
Having been around for the last five seasons,there are till fans who believe that De Gea did his best against Barcelona and goes again to bust plastic fans who ill about his performance.
