‘If we can beat Barcelona, we can beat anyone’, says Manchester United coach Ten Hag ahead of Carabao Cup final

Manchester United

Manchester United eliminated Barcelona from the Europa League with a 2-1 victory at Old Trafford on Thursday. Erik ten Hag’s team came from behind to advance to the round of 16 due to goals from Fred and Anthony in the second half of the game.

Earlier, Barcelona took the lead in the first half, thanks to Robert Lewandowski’s penalty, but after losing the tie, 4-3 on aggregate, the Spanish giants are left to concentrate on their La Liga and Cup del Rey campaigns.

On the other hand, United is still competing in four competitions and will play Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday at Wembley Stadium. Meanwhile, Erik ten Hag, manager of Manchester United, insisted his squad can beat anyone after witnessing his in-form side come from behind to beat Barcelona in a thrilling game at Old Trafford on Thursday. Speaking to reporters Ten Hag said, “You need a strategy to build but also you need results to get that strong belief.”

“This is another step because when you can beat Barcelona — one of the best teams at this moment in Europe — your belief can be really strong because then I think you can beat anyone. It was a magnificent night. I think it is brilliant when you can beat Barcelona, eight points ahead of Real Madrid in La Liga and we have seen this week Real Madrid playing (against Liverpool). We did a magnificent performance.”
