We're into four minutes of added time to round off a second half which no-one inside this stadium wants to see brought to a close!
84'
A heavy Ter Stegen touch from Kounde's back-pass almost gives Weghorst an open net to aim at, but the Barca goalkeeper hacks it away and the ball is kept in by Balde!
83'
Ferran Torres enters the game and replaces Raphinha.
Raphinha's number also comes up on the board, and he's far from happy as he's replaced by Ferran Torres. The United defenders certainly will be though, he's been running them ragged in this second half!
82'
Sancho is off in United's first change of the match, and Alejandro Garnacho replaces him out wide.
81'
A. Garnacho enters the game and replaces J. Sancho.
78'
Christensen fails to clear before passing across to Kounde, but his first touch is woeful and almost lets Sancho in to shoot at the back post!
76'
Raphinha has scored a goal for Barcelona! Assist by J. Koundé.
Barca's pressing of the United backline forced that rushed pass from Casemiro, and Kounde cutting out that ball played a crucial part in Raphinha's bizarre equaliser.
GOOOOAAAALLL!!! Barcelona equalise!!! Risky passing out the back from the Red Devils sees Casemiro's pass intercepted by Kounde. He finds Raphinha wide, whose cross into the six-yard box is missed by everyone and bounces into the bottom corner!!! Lewandowski's presence was enough to put the defenders off, but it's Raphinha's goal that locks this game up at 2-2!
75'
Gavi dribbles into the box with options queuing up to his right, but Casemiro steps across and shows superb timing to take the ball away from his feet as casually as you like!
73'
Gavi gets yellow.
Fred darts forward on a counter-attack of his own but is hauled back by Gavi pulling his shirt, and the teenager's challenge, more akin to a last-ditch rugby tackle, results in a yellow card.

72'
T. Malacia gets yellow.
Ter Stegen catches Wan-Bissaka's cross and throws it wide to Raphinha, looking to spark a counter-attack. The Brazilian nut-megs Malacia and looks to skip past him, but he's held back by the defender, who goes into the book.
67'
Alejandro Balde enters the game and replaces Jordi Alba.
A. Christensen enters the game and replaces Marcos Alonso.
Ansu Fati enters the game and replaces F. Kessié.
Alba also comes off, with the Barca captain replaced by young left-back Alejandro Balde.
Kessie also comes off, with the introduction of Ansu Fati likely to push Gavi back into midfield.
Barca's first changes of the game sees them make three at once, as their goalscorer Alonso is replaced by Andreas Christensen.
65'
Casemiro gets yellow.
Gavi beats Fred in midfield but is chopped down right on the edge of the box, with the Brazilian midfielder lucky to avoid a yellow card. One does come out for his compatriot Casemiro for dissent though, and coach Erik ten Hag is also shown a yellow on the touchline!
64'
Rashford races away on the break for the visitors, but goes down under pressure from Kounde just outside the box! Penalty appeals cry out from United's players and fans alike, but the referee isn't convinced and we'll play on!
63'
Raphinha beats Malacia around the outside as he sprints into the area, but the United left-back stands tall to block his eventual cross to the six-yard box.
59'
J. Koundé is unfortunate, scores an own goal!
GOOOOAAALLL!!! A Barcelona own goal completely turns things around. Rashford wins a corner and it's taken short, allowing the previous goalscorer to drive towards the box before crossing. His teasing ball leads to a scramble in the goalmouth, and the ball bounces off Kounde before hitting the net! Another goal of Rashford's making, and Barca's lead has been completely turned on its head!
52'
M. Rashford has scored a goal for Manchester United! Assist by Fred.
Fred's ball was perfectly weighted, with Rashford sensing the opportunity to shoot, and certainly making the most of it!
GOOOOAAALLL!!! An instant reply from the Red Devils!! Fred charges through the middle before playing Rashford in on the right, and the in-form England forward smashes a low shot on the angle which flies past Ter Stegen and nestles in the bottom corner!! He's playing some absolutely scintillating football at the moment, and what a way to make it 1-1!
50'
Marcos Alonso has scored a goal for Barcelona! Assist by Raphinha.
Raphinha's corner looked to be heading over everyone's heads, but Alonso ran around the back of the defence to nod in the delivery!
GOOOOOAAAALLLL!!!! A Blaugrana breakthrough!!! Raphinha wins a corner and fires the delivery curling towards the back post. Alonso evades his marker to meet the ball with a deft header, which beats De Gea at his near post and bounces into the net!! Poor defending from the visitors, but Barca won't care as they go 1-0 up from the corner!
46'
Lewandowski kicks off for the Blaugrana, as he gets the second half up and running!
45' +2
HALF-TIME: BARCELONA 0-0 MANCHESTER UNITED.
45'
We'll play two additional minutes to close out this frenetic first-half.
44'
Barca sustain a wave of pressure and Kessie finds Lewandowski with a long pass to halfway. He flicks the ball on and attempts to beat Varane for pace, but doesn't quite have the legs of past seasons and is beaten to it.
43'
R. Varane gets yellow.
A very clever spin by Gavi takes him beyond two defenders, until he's scythed down by the second, Varane. The Manchester United centre-back goes into the book, as Barca win a free-kick on halfway.
41'
Sergi Roberto enters the game and replaces Pedri.
Pedri goes down clutching his knee, which is not a good sign for Barcelona. He's forced off inside the first-half, and Sergi Roberto replaces him in a change which may see the Blaugrana slightly tweak their formation.
36'
A ball over the top for Fernandes sends the captain sprinting down the right. He attempts to find Rashford with a cut-back into the box, but Araujo arrives from nowhere to hoof the ball away!
32'
United win another free-kick and Shaw clips it to Rashford in space on the right. He's not far out from goal, but Alba hacks it away and behind to concede a corner!
30'
Jordi Alba gets yellow.
Alba bundles Fernandes over down the left touchline, giving the visitors a crossing opportunity from this set-piece.
25'
Alba wins a corner via a deflection off Wan-Bissaka, but Pedri's delivery into the box is punched well clear by De Gea.
21'
Kounde fires a back-pass under pressure which Ter Stegen can't quite reach, and the Barcelona goalkeeper concedes a corner trying to keep the ball in play!
17'
Raphinha looks to flick Kessie's pass into Lewandowski's feet, but the pass is inaccurate and United recover possession.
15'
Raphinha dances between two defenders before clipping a cross-field pass onto Alba's boot, but the left-back's square pass for Lewandowski in the box is cut out and cleared by Varane.
11'
Barca have the visitors at sixes and sevens as Alba, Gavi and Raphinha all have passes in the box cut out. Gavi does well to win the ball on the edge of the box, and is fouled by Fred to win the hosts a free-kick well within shooting range for several Blaugrana players.
10'
Barca work the ball into space again as Pedri cuts the ball back to Lewandowski, but it's blocked away. Araujo arrives to smash a rebound shot with the outside of his foot, but sends a wild effort well wide of the target!
8'
Sancho floats a cross towards Weghorst at the back post, but Alonso gets back to head the ball clear for Barca before the offside flag is raised.
5'
Araujo gets forward to beat both Sancho and Casemiro before finding Raphinha. He skips past Weghorst with ease, but a heavy touch sees the ball roll over the byline before he can keep it in play.
1'
The stadium falls silent in memory of those affected by the recent tragedies in Turkey and Syria, and Weghorst gets the game underway for Manchester United.
Wan-Bissaka finds Fernandes in space on the right. The captain whips in a threatening ball, as Fred makes a late run to the front post and almost gets a boot on it!
Hello, and welcome to live coverage of this fixture in the UEFA Europa League, as Barcelona face Manchester United in the first leg of their knockout play-off.
Manchester United were pipped to top spot of their Europa League group by Real Sociedad on goal difference, with a 1-0 home loss to the Spanish side in their opening game proving crucial. However, they’re currently on a six-game unbeaten run of their own, winning five of these games since a league loss to Arsenal in late January.
After finishing third in their Champions League group behind an unbeatable Bayern and resurgent Inter, Barcelona enter this match having not lost since October, and have won every game they’ve played since January 12th this year.
MANCHESTER UNITED SUBS: Tom Heaton, Jack Butland, Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire, Diogo Dalot, Facundo Pellistri, Anthony Elanga, Alejandro Garnacho, Zidane Iqbal, Kobbie Mainoo.

The two sides return to the Camp Nou pitch, and who, if any, will be the first to score in this second half?
That's all from us, we hope you enjoyed the game! The second leg isn't far away, so we'll see you then!
A 2-2 draw tees us up for a mouth-watering second leg to this Europa League knockout tie in a week's time, with the winners of the match Old Trafford entering the last 16 of Europe's secondary club competition. The short turnaround should see the two sides set up similarly in attack, and with no away goals, it looks set to be another firecracker of a game that will hopefully see another feast of chances, saves and goals at both ends.
