After the success of setting up the points, that provide a meeting place and lots of information about Barcelona, before the games against Celtic and Schalke 04, there will now be one for the visit of the Premier League side.

According to the agreement with the government, the council are preparing the operation in order to avoid problems in and around the city centre and, in particular, las Ramblas. The day of the first leg is also Sant Jordi's Day in Catalunya and Saint George's Day in England. In Catalunya the day is marked by men giving flowers to their loved ones and receiving a book in return.

Manchester United fans will be able to congregate between 11am and 6pm in the area next to Port Olímpic next to the beaches.
