Is Manchester United Vs FC Barcelona the most trending thing now?

                              


Mountains are there to be climbed.

After the classic champions league match in Old Trafford, we are all waiting for the second leg. At Trafford, the Valverde side managed to win with a crucial away goal. Almost a week after that both sides meet again at the Camp Nou for the final clash.


 A sneak peek to team news and possible lineups.

 The Catalans had to agree with a goalless draw against Huesca. Jean-Clair Todibo, Maussa Wague, Riqui Puig, Jeison Murillo, and Kevin-Prince Boateng got a chance to play in the starting eleven in the league match.

Valverde side gets the chance to rest their players for the next big match.

The Catalans have almost secured their title and they are just 6 games away from it by a margin of 9 points. Barcelona have failed to qualify for the champions league semi-final since 2015. They are currently on an unbeaten streak at Camp Nou since 2013. The Messi side also didn't lose in a single match this champion league.

Lionel Messi is fit to play, having suffered a facial injury from the first leg following a clash with Chris Smalling. The forward was given rest for the league match against Huesca.

Barca are favorites here and should not have much trouble in securing their place in the semi-final against a team that is not very good. But that was exactly the scenario in the last season against Roma and look what happened.

After all, we know ole's boys are known for their comeback wins. The last-minute penalty from golden boy Rashford once again thrashed the dreams of European trophy of Paris. The England champs are very confident about the match at Nou Camp. Barcelona fans are still haunted with what happened at Roma.


Meanwhile, on the United camp, they had a difficult win against West Ham at the Trafford last week. Even though a No. of players will absent in the second leg. Nemanja Matic and Alexis Sanchez (who has not appeared since victory VS Southampton on March 1st) are fit and are ready to go along with Ole's traveling squad. Ashley Young who had a rather lousy game against West Ham will be also available in the clash. The red devils might also miss the midfield engine Ander Herrera due to his thigh injury.

Jesse Lingard and Martial are yet to find the rhythm after their injuries. Meanwhile, Paul Pogba has become the season top scorer for United (16 goals) ahead of Romelu Lukaku.


Solskjaer returns to Barcelona with United for the first time after one of the most dramatic victories in the history of European Cup 20 years ago against Bayern Munich.
Even though they're not having a stable season, Solskjaer is confident that they have the quality to win against the Catalans.

Premier league teams are definitely having a difficult time rotating squads for the Champions league as the fight for the title and the top four is very much crucial for the Premier League this season.

Luke Shaw's own goal helped Barca secure a win at Old Trafford.


Other matches including the English clash spurs on Etihad facing the pep side, Liverpool traveling to Porto with their two goals, old lady facing the fearless youngsters ajax then there is this immense classic champions league match.

Possible team lineups

Barcelona: Ter Stegen, Semedo, Pique, Lenglet, Alba, Busquets, Roberto, Rakitic, Arthur, Messi, Suarez

Man United: De gea,  Dalot, Smalling, Lindelof, Young, McTominay, Fred, Pogba, Lukaku, Rashford, Lingard

Head to Head

Excerpts from my dream journal.

  So when I was making tea the other day, oh wait.  I like tea. I drink an awful lot of tea every day. My mom thinks it's an addiction, and I might die of cancer one day.  Though what I can't tell her is that, if it wasn't for Chai I would've taken my own life a long time ago. Chuckles. So I was making tea and it's nice and warm outside. You know the 4 'O clock light warmness. The sky slowly turning orange-red gradient. Soon it'll be Violet when looked through my bathroom window. It's a cool view, so I sometimes stand there for a while even after I'd done with the peeing. Especially if my neighbor is cooking, the smoke would be all upon the sky, and orange and violet beams gliding through it give a cool view. Where was I? So I was making tea, and all these snippets of memories come back running to me. And the funny thing was that these are memories of events that have never happened, you know. But it felt like events that I'd already experienced,...

The unbearable weight of consciousness.

I’ve always been pretty conscious about myself. I am not sure if that’s a good thing or not. A bit of both, I could say. Being fully aware of myself has always helped me to know what I want in certain situations, with people, etc. I know what sort of person I want to be, in general. I’m 100% certain about the vibe I want to give out to people, and I am sure that for the most part, I’ve succeeded in doing the same. But still, being super conscious most of the time has not helped me figure out what I want to do with life. This has been my life’s biggest dilemma. I used to be ambitious growing up, I guess up until end of the college. Maybe corporate did it, perhaps I did this to myself. I am the most unambitious man I know right now. Does that scare me, I don’t know. I see people around me hustling, switching techs, and companies, climbing up the ladder, making huge life decisions, and moving out of countries. I feel nothing. There is nothing I want to be.  Sometimes I feel like I pea...

All I Ever Wanted Was A Way To Kill The Noise.

 You know how fire extinguishers work? Umm... If I remember my high school textbook correctly. They form this blanket or like a cloud of carbon dioxide around the region of fire,  thus limiting the oxygen supply required for the fire to survive. Okay, your point being? Yeah, so I feel like that. Every now and then, I don't know, is it, God? Is it me? Is it the people around me? Society? My subconscious? I don't know, someone creates this cloud, dark cloud of nothingness around me, and it's sucking the oxygen out of my life. I feel like an ember every morning, just trying to overcome the cloud, survive. And I'm not choking, it's like sucking all the words from inside me, making me more silent every day. Also, I don't want to lose them, so I lay it all down here, in papers, in stickies, whatever piece of paper I can pass my final flickers of fire on to. Sayonara. *** Images: Pinterest
