LIVE UPDATES: Barcelona vs Man United (Champions League)

Can Man United repeat the trick and stage another memorable fightback in Barcelona? Can Man United repeat the trick and stage another memorable fightback in Barcelona?

Hello and good evening. Fightback: a great effort to gain a position of strength made by a person or group who seem likely to lose a contest.

They've already done it in Paris, but can Manchester United repeat the trick and stage another memorable fightback in Barcelona?

Manchester United and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer have history at this ground.

It was Solskjaer who scored the injury-time winner in the Champions League final in 1999 at the Nou Camp as United came from behind to beat Bayern Munich.

However, Solskjaer says it's United's dramatic victory over Paris Saint-Germain in the last round that could benefit them tonight.

"It will have helped us as a team. We know we can turn things around," he said.
"Barca here at the Nou Camp is a difficult prospect but that night will live with the players. It was not that long ago and we are one goal better off [than we were then]."

The first leg was somewhat forgettable in truth as a below-par Barcelona won 1-0 at Old Trafford thanks to an own goal from Luke Shaw.

United hardly threatened as they failed to register a single shot on target for the first time in a Champions League game since March 2005.

However, having only conceded once they are still very much in the tie.

The game starts at 7pm GMT. And we will be here to bring you all the updates.
