Manchester United vs Barcelona LIVE result: Europa League reaction after Antony completes thrilling comeback

63 mins: United get in behind again thanks to Antony’s pace, Raphael Varane is even getting up the pitch with the attack. Antony brings the ball into the box, cuts onto his left foot then drills a shot into the nearest defender.

A wasted opportunity in the end.

60 mins: Yellow card to Bruno Fernandes. Frenkie De Jong goes down as Aaron Wan-Bissaka tries to tackle him, the ball comes loose and Fernandes rattles it into the falling De Jong.

The Barcelona players think he’s done it on purpose and swarm the Man Utd captain. Sergi Roberto leads the charge. After a bit of argy bargy and squaring off Fernandes and Roberto both go in the book.

57 mins: United’s equaliser has changed the complexion of this game. Barcelona’s only shot on target was Robert Lewandowski’s penalty. The Spaniards were expert at controlling possession when they were leading but now they’re the ones chasing the game.

Fred brings the ball down the left wing and flicks a forward pass into the feet of Rashford. Rashford flies into the box and pulls one across the six-yard area but there’s no-one there and Frenkie De Jong scoops it clear.

54 mins: These long balls are working brilliantly for Man Utd. Christensen fails to properly clear the dropping pass and Rashford takes over.

He drives into the box from the right wing but runs into trouble and guides a half-hearted effort into the side netting.

51 mins: What a rapid start to the second half from Man Utd. The extra pace of Antony looks to have given the hosts an added dimension.

A reminder that if the game ends in a draw at 90 minutes then there will be extra-time and potentially penalties. The away goals rule is no longer in force in European competition.

49 mins: What a chance! A long ball comes up the pitch and Antony gets in behind Andreas Christensen. He storms into the box and looks for Rashford on the opposite side of the area.

Christensen recovers and lunges into a tackle that knocks the ball back onto Antony before flying out of play. Great defending.

47 mins: Just what Manchester United needed! Old Trafford goes crazy as United win the ball high up the pitch. Jadon Sancho sends it to Bruno Fernandes who squares the ball to Fred.

His first touch takes him into the box before a right footed strike beats Marc-Andre ter Stegen to level the match and the tie.

Erik ten Hag has made a change at the break. Wout Weghorst is off with Antony being brought on. Rashford should take the striker possession with Sancho pushed to the left and Fernandes playing as the 10. Will it work?

Barcelona get the ball rolling for the second half with the same personnel on the pitch.

There were a few errors and simple mistakes in that first half from Manchester United. They were thrown off after the penalty was awarded and need to get themselves back into the game.

They have tended to perform better in the second half of games this season so there should be a resurgence in the second half.

Robert Lewandowski has scored 25 goals in 30 appearances across all competitions for Barcelona this season, the 12th successive campaign in which he’s netted 25+ goals at club level.
