Manchester United 0-1 Barcelona That’s it! Barcelona beat Manchester United at Old Trafford for the first time, and put nine toes in the semi-finals of the Champions League. Luke Shaw’s early own goal settled a scruffy match of few chances – United huffed and puffed, and played admirably without the ball, but they lacked penetration with it and did not have a single shot on target. They will need another minor miracle if they are to get through.
Carles Alena replaces Sergio Busquets.

There will be three minutes of added tiki taka.
Barcelona are passing the clock down. United have done a lot of good things but they have had no penetration in the final third.
Smalling is booked for a challenge on Suarez. That was a bit harsh, too. The referee hasn't been great tonight. If that's a yellow-card offence, Busquets should have been sent off about five times.

United's final change: Andreas Pereira replaces Marcus Rashford.

McTominay plays a dangerous pass towards Martial, and Pique comes across to make a vital interception at the expense of a corner.
Messi tries to drive the free-kick under the wall. It takes a slight deflection and is comfortably saved by De Gea.
United's heads are starting to drop. Pogba fouls Semedo just outside the area, a particularly stupid thing to do in the context of Lionel Messi's existence.
United have scored only one goal in five home Champions League games this season, and that was by Marouane Fellaini.
Rashford's superb cross from the left is brilliantly headed away by Lenglet, under considerably pressure from Pogba.
United are starting to look tired and a bit demoralised. They need to be careful not to concede a second here, because there's no way back from a 2-0 home def- oh.
Messi slithers past Fred on the edge of the area, but McTominay comes across to make an important tackle. He has been terrific tonight.
Lingard is booked for a nothing tackle on Vidal.
Yellow card
J. Lingard
After a difficult start to the second half, Barcelona have calmed things down and are again in control of the match.
Jesse Lingard replaces Diogo Dalot for United.
That didn't take long. Vidal is booked for kicking Fred.
Yellow card
A. Vidal
Told you Fred should have taken it. Rashford smashes it miles over the bar.
VIdal takes Pogba out 25 yards from goal. Somehow, I don't think Fred will be hitting this one after his last effort.
