Barcelona and Manchester United face each other in the Champions League this evening, and it’s leading to endless pages from the Catalan media.
On April 9th, we covered claims from Sport, who explained Marcus Rashford is ‘much more worrying’ for Barcelona players and their coaching staff than ‘predictable’ Romelu Lukaku.
Wednesday’s edition of Mundo Deportivo focuses on the Belgium international and warns the Blaugrana that Lukaku could have the same impact Edin Dzeko did last season.
Ernesto Valverde saw his side crash out of the European competition at the hands of AS Roma following a 3-0 second leg defeat in Italy.
The former Manchester City man opened the scoring for his side and they doubled the lead as Daniele De Rossi converted from the spot after Pique brought Dzeko down inside his own box.
The Catalan newspaper claims, the attacker’s size, his ability to score goals with both feet and his head ‘makes him a danger’ in the opposition box. Basically, they’re describing a striker. 
It’s further stressed that Barcelona players must have the necessary concentration while facing Lukaku and his teammates if they are to progress to the last four of the competition.
The report also pinpoints how tall forwards have ‘created problems’ for the Spanish champions, whether or not Lukaku and Rashford can exploit Barcelona’s historical problem is to be seen.
