Solskjaer says beating Barca would surpass PSG heroics

MANCHESTER, England - Coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said on Wednesday that Manchester United faces an even tougher task turning around the 1-0 deficit from the first leg of its quarterfinal with Barcelona than its miraculous comeback at Paris Saint-Germain in the last 16.

United became the first side to ever overcome a 2-0 first-leg defeat at home to reach the last eight with a 3-1 win in Paris last month.

But Solskjaer, who scored the winner when United won the Champions League at Camp Nou in 1999, believes Barca's prestigious European history makes beating the Spanish champion a different prospect to PSG.
