Champions League | Barcelona, United face the heat
The Hindu
Losses in earlier group games puts pressure on the coaches
Barcelona and Manchester United, two clubs with a storied history in the Champions League, face daunting times ahead as they restart their continental campaign on Wednesday after the international break.
Losing at Young Boys last month created new doubts over Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s suitability to manage United. A 4-2 loss at Leicester on Saturday only magnified them, with United unable to benefit significantly yet from the return of Cristiano Ronaldo by picking up only one point in nine in the Premier League. Things do not get any easier for United, which hasn’t won a trophy since the Europa League in 2017, as Atalanta arrives at Old Trafford for the Group F game on Wednesday before Liverpool visits on Sunday.
Sitting in last place in Group E, Barcelona needs a home win against Dynamo Kyiv to have a realistic chance of advancing to the knockout stage. The Catalan club has made it past the group stage every season since 2001-02.
