JAKARTA - Barcelona will face Manchester United (MU) in the 2022/2023 Europa League round of 16 playoffs. For Barcelona coach, Xavi Hernandez, this is a bad draw.

Xavi said MU is the toughest opponent his team can face at this stage. However, he just can't wait to start competing with the English Premier League club.

"We can't wait to face them", said Xavi, quoted by Sport via Antara, Tuesday, November 8.

"They [MU] are a historic team. They also thrived under Ten Hag, and they have a lot of great players", continued Xavi.

The Spanish coach also expressed his feelings again against Ronaldo.

Xavi did not hesitate to praise Ronaldo as one of the best players he has ever faced in his entire career.

"For me, he is an extraordinary player. He is one of the players who marked an era in the world of football", said Xavi.

The first leg match between Manchester United vs Barcelona will be held in February 2023.
