After being drawn with Spanish side Barcelona in the Champions League quarter-finals, Caretaker Manager Ole Gunner Solskjaer believes that Manchester United "can go all the way" in the tournament.


The draw sees caretaker boss Solskjaer return to the Nou Camp 20 years on from scoring an injury-time winner there in the 1999 Champions League final.

If Manchester United and Liverpool scale through the quarter-finals, they will play against each other in the semi-finals.

According to Solskjaer: "I think we've shown against Paris St-Germain that on any given day we can beat a top team."

"Any team can beat anyone of the eight. There's still top, top quality. Of course, with Cristiano [Ronaldo] still in it I don't think it's opened up that much."

Solskjaer's Manchester United became the first team to overcome a 2-0 or greater home first-leg deficit in the Champions League as they defeated PSG 3-1 to progress from the last 16.

"I believe that you get what you deserve in life, in sports. If you put the work in, if you work hard, show the right attitude, if you go in every single day and do the right things you can maximise your chances.

"So yes, we can go all the way but you've got to be lucky and good along the way."
