Manchester United boss, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is confident that his team will stun Spanish giants, Barcelona at Nou Camp, when the two sides meet for the second leg of the UEFA Champions League Quarter Final on April 16^th.

Speaking after their 0-1 loss to the Catalan giants on Wednesday, Solskjaer said Manchester United can score away at Barcelona

“We’re playing against a great team. It’s a tough one – we’ll go there with the knowledge we can score over there,” Solskjaer told BT Sport.

“We go there with one thing in my mind: we have to score.”

In the last 16, United looked to be facing elimination after they lost 2-0 at home against Paris St-Germain in the first leg but a 3-1 victory in the French capital took them through on away goals.

“The PSG performance gives us hope and belief we can do it, but we are playing against the favourites,” said Solskjaer, adding that recovering to reach the last four would be a “greater achievement” than the win in Paris.

Barcelona boss Ernesto Valverde also refused to write off the English side.

“Look how they did in Paris, you need only to look at how they did there – the result is yet to be decided,” said the Spaniard.

“They are a powerful side and when they pressed us they caused us difficulties. Football is a funny game, it’s full of everything. It’s hard to move the ball when they are being aggressive in their pressing.

“We thought it was going to be very difficult and 1-0 is not going to decide anything.”
