In a thrilling match at Old Trafford, Manchester United have eliminated Barcelona from the Europa League playoffs after a dramatic 2-1 victory in the second leg.

The match was a nail-biter from the start, with Bruno Fernandes’ takedown of Alejandro Balde controversially ruled a foul. Barcelona had a chance to equalize with a penalty kick, but the shot was saved by United goalkeeper David de Gea.

The decisive moment came in the 86th minute, when Mason Greenwood fired a shot past Barcelona keeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen to give United the win.

The match was highlighted by some outstanding individual performances, with Marcus Rashford, Paul Pogba, and Fernandes all making key contributions for United. For Barcelona, Lionel Messi and Antoine Griezmann were the standouts.

The victory sends United through to the next round of the Europa League, where they will face off against AC Milan. For Barcelona, it’s back to the drawing board after a disappointing end to their European campaign.
