What are the managers saying ahead of Barcelona and Manchester United?
Ernesto Valverde, Barcelona
"We know the opposition will want to counter-attack us but we won't let that happen by playing well with the ball and moving the ball quickly.
"It's not a defensive question, it's more about going forward.
"It'll be important how we start and finish the game. United in the last minutes have something special. We've seen that at the Camp Nou before.
Valverde: "We are aware of the potential of Manchester United, and we have to close the spaces so that they don't have options. If they have space, they are a very strong team"

"All you can do is concentrate on what you think is good for you to do. We'll do that. We're aware of United's threats and we won't let it become an end-to-end game. We'll look to close the spaces to limit their options."
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Manchester United
"We need to score goals. Whether it's Romelu Lukaku, Marcus Rashford or Jesse Lingard, we need big performances from our forward players.
"We have to defend well but we have to have that little bit of extra to score goals. I expect them to be ready.
