The draw against Manchester United at the Camp Nou was disappointing in that they did not score a goal but it showed that they are more than capable of beating the English side at Old Trafford.

Barca played better than they have done for a long time, perhaps their best performance of the season as they took the game to United and they only lacked the killer pass. United were stretched to the limit at the back and will have been more than pleased with the draw.

I think that Deco was vital to the performance and showed again that the team struggles without his attacking runs from midfield. With Iniesta and Xavi in midfield there is no player who will make the killer pass, they are both technically strong players and never give the ball away but also they rarely try to make a key pass that could lead to a goal.

Manchester United will be under a lot of pressure against Barca at home and they know that if they concede a goal they will be in a lot of trouble. Once again Messi though will be the vital player for United as he is the one who can separate the teams.
