The former player of Zenit, Spartak and the Russian national football team Maxim Demenko admitted that he does not prefer any of the teams in the upcoming match of the 1/16 finals of the Europa League between Barcelona and Manchester United.
– It is unusual to see these teams in the Europa League. Barcelona itself missed this moment, although now they are in the top. There was a decline in the team, now it has gathered. Manchester United is a high-level team, but they only made it to the Europa League.
The game is good because Barcelona and Manchester United are in great shape in their domestic leagues. Barcelona came out on top in La Liga. We would like to see such teams in the Champions League. Barcelona head coach Xavi recently said he gets mad when he hears the Champions League anthem. Because these clubs are used to playing at the highest level.
In this match, I will watch good football, it’s nice to watch both of these teams, but I don’t give preference to either one,” Vprognoze.ru said.
