Ernesto Valverde says Barcelona are aware of Manchester United’s spirit ahead of their Champions League encounter at the Nou Camp.
Despite losing the first match United had a pretty solid first leg as the likes of Scott McTominay and Fred came out with their best display to thwart Lionel Messi and co.
The Red Devils had a far more complicated situation in the previous round but overturned the deficit as they kicked out Paris Saint Germain with exemplary performance in Paris.
The odds are in favour of the Catalans but United have defied the odds on many occasions in the past and they would be hoping to create history on Tuesday.
Valverde said, “What I fear the most is the spirit they have. We respect them as a team, and the history they have behind them.
“You can feel their spirit on the pitch and I think we will see it tomorrow. If we want to face that we have to show the way we are ourselves.”
“I don’t know what Manchester United are going to do but we do have the references of what they’ve been doing in the Champions League this year
“In four games away from home, they have won three, and a couple in the last few minutes. So we must be on the ball.
“Every team will try to play their game based on the players they have, and we will try to play our game.”
