The Man Utd legend also thinks that the attraction of the first leg signals a tense competition in the second leg next week. Man Utd have a slight advantage from a 2-2 draw at the opponent's field, but because the away goals rule does not apply, the English team still needs to win at Old Trafford.

Scholes also praised Erik ten Hag, who kept his word of attacking as he said before the game. He said that Barca is no longer a European group as before, but the fact that the two teams attack together has created a spectacular match for the audience. "Man Utd looks like a real team. Being a guest at Barca and getting results like that at this moment is really commendable," Scholes said.

Scholes' former teammate at Man Utd Owen Hargreaves agrees with this view, saying that Man Utd has cleared doubts about their ability with performances at the Nou Camp. "Going to be a guest on the field of a team that is at the top of La Liga like Barca, but Man Utd plays well and can even win easily," said Hargreaves, and commented that Ten Hag helped Man Utd players regain confidence right away. in his first season leading the team.

Man Utd will take on Leicester in the Premier League, and Barca will meet Cadiz in La Liga this weekend before the rematch.
