There were conclusions aplenty after Barcelona failed to register the all-important win against Manchester United at the Camp Nou.

In fact, Ten Hag already alluded to an ominous plan for the return leg, promising an ace in his sleeve will take Xavi - and potentially every single one of us - by surprise. But what can Barcelona do to turn the tides in their favour?
