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

Dystopian times (unabridged)

I read '1984' by George Orwell a few years back. I could only read up to 70% of it for some reason. In the first chapter, the protagonist secretly writes a journal entry as a sort of protest, or a way of telling his story to future generations. Thankfully, we're not there yet, but I imagine sooner or later, we as a collective world will reach that level of dystopia. I can't help but wonder, 'Has the world always been like this, or I'm just noticing it? ' Maybe yes, but the amount of injustice and horror that has been happening around the world has definitely only increased with time. There is so much injustice, violence, and horror happening around the globe, and the fact that I was born in this godforsaken country. It's awful enough to be a citizen of this country, but being a Muslim in India is only worse. The only thing I can do is be grateful for the fact that I was born in the South.  And all of this leads to one being in a certain dilemma. Do I try...

Who will win the Ballon D'Or 2018?

There are a lot of quality players out on the field with potential of acquiring the so called best player award in the world easily known as the “THE BALLON D’OR”. Since the year 2008 this mesmerising price has been shared among two, who are known to the world as  CRISTIANO RONALDO  and  LIONEL MESSI.  Both of them are so far presented with 5 of the awards equally throughout these years. To be honest no one else other than these two has not even came close into winning the award after 2008. But this year a number of different things have happened. Lots of underdogs have proved their worth and are told to be possible winners of this Glamorous award. As the World Cup is upon us on July, it will play a major role on declaring the Ballon D’Or winner this year. With the help of various experts and from the form they are in, we have reduced a 23 possible nominees list: (not in chromatic order)           1.  Li...

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...
