UEFA Champions League preview:Can Man United stage another historic comeback?



Manchester United will look to overturn an unlikely 1-0 deficit when they travel to take on Barcelona at Camp Nou. An own goal from Luke Shaw decided the encounter, meaning United have to score to stand a chance of going through. Barcelona had the luxury of resting a lot of their players during the goalless draw against Huesca, and with the La Liga title seemingly wrapped up, attention now turns to the big one. Shaw will miss the game through suspension, while Nemanja Matic could be available as well as the star of the first leg, Scott Mctominay. Can United conjure up a repeat of their feat against PSG? There’s only one way to find out.

Juventus will have the chance to seal the deal on home soil when Ajax visit the Juventus Stadium. The first leg ended in a thrilling 1-1 draw, with Cristiano Ronaldo marking his return from injury with a brillant header and a crucial away goal for the Bianconeri. Ajax got themselves back into the tie through David Neres, meaning it’s now all to play for. Juve will feel they have the edge in this one, but Ajax will be confident of repeating their success in the round of 16, where they cruised to a surprising 4-1 victory at the Bernabeu against Real Madrid after losing the first leg. But they will be wary of the threats of the competition’s all time best player, who knows how to turn on they style in crucial moments.
