The two sides were drawn together in the Champions League quarter-finals and will meet in a two-legged tie but the United fans have bumped into astronomical prices awaiting them in Barcelona. The Catalans are charging Manchester United supporters a shocking 102 pounds per ticket which qualifies as the costliest fee in the Red Devils' history outside a final. United have responded by rushing to protect their fans through subsiding the cost of the away ticket by charging the Barca fans the same price at Old Trafford. In a club statement, United seem to have been forced into the decision. However, this is not the first time United have stepped in to cushion their fans from 'the Spanish extortion'.
