BARCELONA (4-3-3)

MARC-ANDRE TER STEGEN 6.5 – Hardly troubled after early scares but made a fantastic reflex save from Sanchez in 90th minute.

SERGI ROBERTO 6 – The only change from first leg, had a great chance to score right on half-time but De Gea somehow kept it out.

GERARD PIQUE 7 – Shaky start as United created early opportunities, but settled well against his old club after that.

CLEMENT LENGLET 6.5 – Made sure that United’s greater height and strength didn’t hurt Barca over the course of the two legs.

JORDI ALBA 7 – Got forward brilliantly down the right to cause United all sorts of problems and comfortable in defence.

IVAN RAKITIC 7 – Had a penalty award overturned and nearly scored with a header. Very lively from the Croat.

SERGIO BUSQUETS 7 – The Mr Dependable of this Barca team. This was his 45th home game in the Champions League without defeat.

LIONEL MESSI 9 – Subdued in the first leg, sublime here. What a first goal. What a show. What a wonderful player.

LUIS SUAREZ 7 – Cut a frustrated figure at times but still did more than enough to keep United busy.
