2. Who will win the battle : Depay or Bellerín?

It will be a great matchup down the right-wing as Memphis Depay will be matched up against Hector Bellerin.

Depay had his way on Thursday as he caused nothing but trouble for the Danish side. He was comfortable and having fun, something you always want to see if you are a United fan. He was doing fancy skills all over the place and was creating chances for United. He sealed off his great night with a great goal. He cut inside the Midtjylland defense and beat the goalkeeper with a shot at his near post. It was the goal that essentially ended the tie.

Meanwhile Bellerin held his own against the one of the best players in the world in Neymar. He had the toughest assignment of his career but the youngster from Spain played well against Barca’s best. He also was able to get forward and help out in attack for the Gunners. It was a nice sight to see if you were an Arsenal fan.

Now both Depay and Bellerin will be tested as they face each other. Whoever wins this matchup will likely have their team win this game. It’s an important matchup for both teams and it will be a fun one to watch.
