Barcelona and Man United's Europa League clash lived up to expectations at Camp Nou with a thrilling 2-2 draw that sets up a fascinating second leg.

[Arsenal](/soccer/team?id=359), [Liverpool](/soccer/team?id=364), Tottenham and [Manchester City](/soccer/team?id=382) and a creditable draw against the team who are likely to be crowned champions of Spain. Xavi's team needed an equaliser from [Raphinha](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/231050/Raphinha) to level the tie, but they couldn't find a winner during a frantic final 10 minutes, setting for the draw. I think it was a Champions League game, even more than that, so I really enjoyed the game... The Spain international has only failed to start four games this season and has already made 30 appearances in all competitions. I think it was a really good team performance." The Barcelona boss was in no mood to take a risk with the 20-year-old midfielder and was signalling to his bench that he wanted to make a change even before medical staff had been on to assess the injury. Not only has Rashford scored 14 goals in 16 games since the restart, but his goal against Barcelona showed again that he's capable of getting goals in the biggest games after already finding the net against Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City this season. But I think it was a great game. After an even first half, [Marcos Alonso](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/146127/Marcos-Alonso) put Barcelona ahead in the second half before United's fight back. After a tense first half and then a chaotic second period that included all four goals, the tie is perfectly poised for the return game at Old Trafford next week. Barcelona are eight points clear at the top of LaLiga and haven't lost at Camp Nou all season, but United matched Xavi's side for long periods. Pedri was forced off before half-time with what looked like a thigh strain, and Xavi can only hope it's not serious.

“I think it was a great game. Two attacking teams, I think it was a Champions League game. It was the English striker’s 14th goal in his last 16 games across all competitions and his 22nd of the season. “I asked the referee why and he said ‘it was outside the box and it was no foul’. “It was a really bad decision and I can’t understand.” “I have to make the point that it’s a big influence, not only on this game but on this round,” said the Dutchman, who received a yellow card for protesting against the decision on the touchline.
