Solskjaer believes United can work to nullify Barca as a collective.
MANCHESTER: Lionel Messi has a history of terrorising Manchester United but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes it is not impossible to stop the Barcelona star inflicting more damage in tomorrow morning’s Champions League quarter-final.
“He is a fantastic player and will go down in history as one of the best individual players ever,” said United boss Solskjaer ahead of the first leg of the tie at Old Trafford. Messi stated before the season even began that his primary target was taking the Champions League back to Catalonia after the disappointment of blowing a 4-1 first-leg lead to bow out to Roma last season.
“The game against PSG is a great example,” warned Barcelona defender and former United player Gerard Pique. But Solskjaer says his players believe another Champions League scalp is possible against the Spanish champions.
