Barca and United turn on the style in entertaining draw

Feb 17, 2023

Man United and Barcelona have played out a highly-entertaining 2-2 draw in their Europa League play-off first leg in Spain this morning.

United were less than 15 minutes away from a famous win before Raphinha slotted in Barca’s equalizer, leaving all to play for in next week’s return leg.

Marcus Rashford was once again on the scoresheet for The Red Devils with what was his 22nd goal of the season in all competitions.

The England international is also the only player in Europe’s top five leagues to score 13 goals since the World Cup.
