STIFLE SERGIO

THIS was something Manchester United did well in the first leg — to the point where the Spain international became reckless and picked up a booking and almost a second yellow. It was notable Busquets (right) was rested at the weekend. Barcelona cannot afford for him to be ragged again tonight. In the first leg against United at Old Trafford, when Busquets was tightly policed, he had fewer touches than he did in the second leg. Not only this, but he also made fewer passes overall and fewer passes in the United half. In the second leg, Busquets was given free rein and Barca cruised to a 3-0 victory. It is imperative that Liverpool keep him under wraps.
