Barca were thinking of Man United in Huesca draw, admits Vidal

Arturo Vidal admits Barcelona were distracted by thoughts of facing Manchester United in the Champions League quarter-final second leg as they were held to a 0-0 draw by Huesca on Saturday.

Head coach Ernesto Valverde made 10 changes to the team that beat United 1-0 at Old Trafford for the trip to LaLiga's bottom club, and they could not find a breakthrough in an uneventful draw.

Indeed, a Barca team featuring full debutants Moussa Wague and Jean-Clair Todibo failed to manage a shot on target in the second half, although Malcom went closest to breaking the deadlock when he rattled the left post with a vicious shot.
