Pique’s performance was a rare bright spot for Barcelona who put in a pretty poor performance against Manchester United despite winning 1-0.

The result means Ernesto Valverde side have the advantage ahead of the second leg, and they will be expected to go through and face either Liverpool or Porto in the semi-finals.
