Barcelona and Manchester United have faced each other 13 times in all competitions (six Barcelona wins, three Man Utd wins, four draws). The first three were in the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, while each of the previous 10 were in the UEFA Champions League.
Barcelona have won each of the last four matches in this fixture –the last side that Manchester United lost five consecutive matches against was Liverpool between 2000 and 2002.
Manchester United have won each of their last five matches in Europe; only once before have they won six games consecutively in European competition – in their first six games of the 1965-66 season in the European Cup.
Barcelona have lost five of their last 11 European matches at Camp Nou (W2 D4) – their previous five such defeats were spread across 101 games between 2002 and 2020.
Robert Lewandowski has scored 45 goals in his last 37 games in European competition, while he has been directly involved in nine goals across his last three appearances against English clubs: two goals against Spurs in October 2019, one goal and two assists against Chelsea in February 2020, and another two goals and two assists against Chelsea in August 2020. This would be his first appearance against Manchester United.
