ANTONY SCORES! Shaw keeps the ball in play with a great backheel, and Fernandes brushes Raphinha aside to keep the attack alive. Garnacho sees a shot blocked, as does Fred on the follow-up before it rolls out to Antony. He's unmarked on the right of the box and, on the volley, curls his effort around Ter Stegen and into the far bottom corner. 2-1 United!

62'

60'
Bruno Fernandes gets yellow.
Sergi Roberto gets yellow.
Fernandes is explaining that he didn't hear the whistle when he played the pass against De Jong, but it won't stop him from being shown the first booking of the game.
Kessie also goes into the referee's book for dissent after getting involved in the argument between the sides.
59'
De Jong is down on the floor when Fernandes' pass hits him, and he's quickly surrounded by Barcelona players. They're saying he did it deliberately, and the United captain is being dragged away from the argument by his team-mates.
57'
Barcelona are trying to find their rhythm again here as they push forward with Balde down the left. He curls a good cross to the far post where De Jong knocks it down, but he can't pick out Lewandowski.

53'
It's Casemiro that goes long this time, and Rashford brings it down with a lovely first touch. He plays a one-two with Antony before attempting a shot from a tight angle, but De Jong blocks it and it goes out off the forward.
51'
Barcelona can't cope with how quickly United have started the second half. The hosts win a free-kick on the right, which Fernandes curls to Rashford. He gets a shot away, which Kounde throws himself in front of, but a belated flag is up anyway.
47'
Fred has scored a goal for Manchester United! Assist by Bruno Fernandes.
Fernandes' ball was slightly ahead of Fred, but it didn't matter as the Brazilian stretched to bring it under control.
FRED EQUALISES! What a start to the second half for United! Shaw's throw-in is only half-cleared by Barcelona, and United win it back high upfield. Sancho knocks it through to Fernandes, and he helps it onto Fred on the edge of the box. It's not the neatest of finishes as it rolls off his shin, but Ter Stegen can't keep it out of the bottom corner. 1-1!
46'

LEWNADOWSKI SCORES... JUST! He curves his run up and then stutters just in front of the ball to try and catch De Gea out. He fires it to the keeper's left, and De Gea gets a strong hand to it, but it bounces off the inside of the post before hitting the back of the net. 1-0 Barca!

10'
Fernandes' free-kick is cleared by Araujo ahead of Weghorst, but Wan-Bissaka keeps it alive by carrying it out to the left. He tries to swing a cross in, but it's blocked by Kounde.
9'
Another good spell of possession for Barcelona here, and Balde tries to thread it forward for Roberto. He's not on the same wavelength, so Wan-Bissaka cuts it out, setting Casemiro on the counter before the latter is fouled by Kessie.
7'
Christensen gifts the ball back to Casemiro, and he threads it through to Fernandes again. He flicks it to Rashford with his first touch before he's tripped inside the D by Busquets, but United don't get the free-kick they're asking for.
5'

Rashford gets the game underway for United!
Hello and welcome to live coverage of the Europa League play-off second-leg tie between Manchester United and Barcelona at Old Trafford!
Just one week ago, these sides played a brilliant game of football that left it all to play for in this second leg after a 2-2 draw, and both are in good form. United came from behind to lead on Thursday before conceding the equaliser. They're unbeaten in their last eight matches in all competitions (W6 D2) and cruised to a 3-0 win over Leicester City in the Premier League on Sunday. As for Barcelona, they responded well to going behind in that match, and their pressure for a leveller paid off. They're on an even longer run unbeaten run, going 18 in all competitions without defeat (W15 D3). They also won in the league at the weekend, seeing off Cadiz with a 2-0 victory.
MANCHESTER UNITED STARTING XI (4-2-3-1): David de Gea; Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw; Casemiro, Fred; Bruno Fernandes, Wout Weghorst, Jadon Sancho; Marcus Rashford.
MANCHESTER UNITED SUBS: Tyrell Malacia, Anthony Elanga, Antony, Harry Maguire, Facundo Pellistri, Marcel Sabitzer, Alejandro Garnacho, Kobbie Mainoo, Victor Lindelof, Scott McTominay, Diogo Dalot, Tom Heaton.
BARCELONA STARTING XI (4-3-3): Marc-Andre ter Stegen; Jules Kounde, Ronald Araujo, Andreas Christensen, Alejandro Balde; Frenkie de Jong, Sergio Busquets, Franck Kessie; Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski, Sergi Roberto.

The teams are out on the pitch now, with kick-off just moments away!
Xavi will be the happier of the two managers, but he'll know that this tie isn't over yet. Their only shot on target so far is the penalty, and he'll want them to create much more. Ten Hag was a frustrated figure on the touchline, and he'll be making it clear to his team that there needs to be a big improvement if they want to go through.
United's name goes into the hat for the round of 16 draw, which will take place tomorrow. They have another big match at the weekend as they face Newcastle United in the EFL Cup final. Barcelona are out of Europe and their attention now turns back to their title charge in LaLiga. They travel to Almeria on Sunday.
