Barcelona are coming to the end of their preparations for one of the biggest and most important games of the season. This Thursday, they will host none other than Manchester United at the Spotify Camp Nou in the Europa League last-32.
The English side come into the game in stunning form, and are third in the Premier League, two points behind City, but having played one more. Their main goal threat is Marcus Rashford, just like Lewandowski is for Barca. In fact, the Pole will play his first ever game against the Red Devils.
The ex-Bayern Munich man has never played against the Old Trafford side throughout the whole of his career. His 10 goals and seven assists in 17 games against English sides came against other 'Big Six' sides. His first win was against current leaders Arsenal.
In 2013, with Borussia Dortmund, the striker scored once. Later on, he scored three more past the Gunners as a Bayern player. He already knows what it's like to score in Manchester, but against City, as he scored at the Etihad in the 2014-15 season.
The sides who have been worst off from him are Chelsea and Tottenham. He's gone up against the Stamford Bridge side twice, scoring three past them, while he's only played once against Spurs, but he got a brace in that one.
