MU’s success in defeating Barcelona this morning has made the Red Devils extend their positive record this season, especially when playing at home, Old Trafford Stadium. They are a very difficult team to beat. After losing two of their first four home games in all competitions this season, United have since gone unbeaten in 18 games at Old Trafford, winning 16 of them.
MU have now become the first team since Granada in April 2021 to beat Barcelona after trailing at half-time. Barca were unbeaten in 37 matches when they took the lead at half-time.
Manchester United have 19 goals scored by substitutes in all competitions this season. This record is the most of the five big European league teams in the 2022/2023 season. This situation makes MU have very good squad depth. Erik ten Hag has players who can be decisive off the bench.
Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski managed to score one goal against MU early this morning. This means he has scored 25 goals in 30 appearances in all competitions for Barcelona this season. It didn’t stop there though, this being the 12th season in a row in which he scored more than 25 goals at club level. Lewandowski really deserves to be called the ultimate goalscorer.
