But we made mistakes in the end and United punished us.” The victory was a huge boost for Manchester United’s hopes of winning their first major trophy under ten Hag. It also extended their unbeaten run to eight matches in all competitions. Barcelona, meanwhile, will need to regroup and focus on their upcoming La Liga and Copa del Rey fixtures. However, the defeat at Old Trafford will serve as a reminder that even the greatest teams can be vulnerable to a determined and hungry underdog.
