Joseph Yobo, erstwhile Super Eagles of Nigeria defender, has praised Spanish side Barcelona for their professional display against English side Manchester United in their Champions League quarter finals first leg clash on
Wednesday, at the Old Trafford.

Barcelona clinched a 1 - 0 win against Man United after Luke Shaw hit the back of his own net, giving the visitors an advantage over the hosts.

“They didn’t play their best game tonight but we saw a Barcelona side that was very professional.

“They looked a bit tired in the second period but credit to them, they remained mentally outstanding,” he said in his post analysis.

Alongside former Manchester United striker Dwight Yorke, 38-year old Yobo was a co-analyst on SuperSports.
