The Blaugrana side were unable to keep their first-half lead after a massive start of second 45 minutes by the hosts.

The UEFA Europa League offered Barcelona a change for redemption when it comes to continental competitions, but Xavi's team crashed out of the tournament despite having the lead for over 30 minutes.

A scintillating start of the second half by the hosts was enough to see them through to the next round, as Barcelona seemingly had no answer for Erik Ten Hag's moves after the break, which included Antony's substitution and influence in the outcome of the game with his goal.

Things went sideways for Barcelona once again in a continental tournament this season, with the team forced out of the Champions League for their poor performances. To make matters even more complicated for Los Culés, the team is getting used to being knocked out of European tournaments by teams due to their lack of drive when they need to prove their worth.

One of Barcelona's main ideas this season was to compete in Europe with a massive investment last summer. Unfortunately, those efforts by their board saw them winning only two clashes out of eight played in both the Champions League and in the Europa League.

The game also ended quite a successful streak for Los Culés when it comes to leading after the halftime break.

Last, but not least,this win has also ended a 15-year wait for Manchester United to take the victory home against the Spanish side.
