Man Utd ace Pogba: I want to have fun against Barcelona

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba admits he often studies the play of Champions League opponents Barcelona.

The two teams will meet in the quarterfinals.

"Barcelona are a team I always watch," Pogba told Eurosport while on international duty with France for the Euro 2020 qualifiers.

"You can always learn as a midfielder, I like watching football. Their system, their culture...it can always help me.

"Barcelona is a great team, one of the best in the world. They have extraordinary players.

"It's a match where I want to have fun. Playing against one of the best teams in the world is always a pleasure. It's a team I lost against in the Champions League Final (in 2015 with Juventus ), but it's always good to play against the best."
