Oct 02, Post-Match Analysis. Oct 17, The Reds have won 17, drawn five and lost six of our last 28 matches in European competition.

Gerard Pique will return to Old Trafford for the first time since leaving United in He scored twice in 23 games during his four years as a Red. It's the second time the Reds will face Spanish opponents in this season's competition, after playing Valencia in the group stage. Similarly, Barcelona will take on English opposition for the second time, after a away win and home draw against Tottenham in the group stage. Barcelona have been knocked out in the Champions League quarter-finals in four of the last five seasons, losing to Atletico Madrid twice, Juventus and Roma.

Barcelona have won 14 of their 24 two-legged ties against English clubs. Barca have gone on droughts of 14 years and 11 years, winning just two in the 30 seasons between and , all while more and more titles amassed in the Bernabeu. Messi has instead transformed the club into the default Spanish title winners, a status that had previously always defined Madrid. They now end almost every season with the title. Because, for all that the prestige of the Champions League rightfully elevates legacies, it is domestic league campaigns that really offer better reflections of better quality.

Many would reflexively argue about that, but it is really a case of the perfect purity of maths against the imperfection of perception and influence of glamour. The Champions League is undeniably the most prestigious knockout competition in club football, with all of that deepened by the gravitas of six decades of high-class history, but a knockout competition is still all it is. It is still prone to the same nuances, or freaks of fortune, as any other much less prestigious cup.

Lucky draws, nice bounces, bad decisions, bad days all have a highly disproportionate effect. That ensures the best team only sometimes wins it. It is, mathematically, much more of a lottery. None of this is the case in a league. The maths of it ensure that their effect is eroded, and it becomes about accumulation of events, as well as consistency.

The best team thereby almost always wins. When the lack of an obvious successor is arguably the main thing keeping you in a job, the writing really is on the wall. Hamilton: United looked like an abstract group of world-class players against Atalanta, rather than a team, but that is symptomatic of the club's malaise and confusion.

They have the players -- bar a ball-winning midfielder -- but neither the game plan nor structure. They want to play attacking football at Old Trafford, built on the foundations of a superb academy, so if the owners have any title-challenging ambition then they need to learn from what Ajax have mastered over so many years.

Hamilton: Barcelona. Even though they won at Dynamo Kiev -- thanks to the genius of Ansu Fati -- they will struggle to get through Group E. Given they have a trip to Bayern Munich on matchday 6, Barca simply have to get three points against Benfica next time out, or the advantage will be with Jorge Jesus' team. Richardson: AC Milan. No matter how unfancied they may be coming into a particular campaign, the Rossoneri are a footballing institution and always expected to deliver, such is their relationship with the competition they have won seven times.

Facing a group with Liverpool, Atletico Madrid and Porto was daunting, true, but while they were not a favourite to win the Champions League, Milan's most recent triumphs have come at unexpected times. Moreover, they are joint-top of Serie A, so to go out at the group stage is a surprise and a disappointment. The problem they both have is that Liverpool have already secured top spot in Group B and Jurgen Klopp is therefore highly likely to rotate his line-up for the next game at home to Porto, which will not quite be the same daunting task that Porto would have originally anticipated.

Milan host Liverpool in the final round of matches, too, so Atletico will be disadvantaged should Klopp rest his stars once again.

Atletico will also have to contend with suspensions for Antoine Griezmann and Felipe. Olley: Not sure Ajax count as an unfancied team given their pedigree but there is a reason why Erik ten Hag keeps resisting a move to the Premier League and it could well be the quality of the next generation coming through.

Antony , a highly promising winger, could yet beat him to England given reported interest from Manchester City and Liverpool. The year-old Brazilian is lightning quick and plays with a swagger that suggests a career at the highest level awaits. He does not turn 20 until January, but a series of superb performances in the Champions League have led to reported interest from PSG, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, as well as international recognition with Germany.
