MANCHESTER, United Kingdom (AFP) - Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes Manchester United's remarkable recovery to eliminate Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League last 16 has instilled a belief they can also end Barcelona's European dreams.
The Spanish champions travel to Old Trafford on Wednesday (April 10) for the first leg of their quarter-final tie aiming to take another step closer to a third treble of La Liga, Champions League and Copa del Rey since 2009.
United have the onerous task of stopping an in-form Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, but Solskjaer is confident his side have learned from their mistakes in losing 2-0 at home to PSG before pulling off a miraculous 3-1 victory in Paris to progress on away goals.
"I can feel the tension, the excitement. I felt the mood ahead of PSG home game was different. We have learnt from that PSG game," said the Norwegian, who was appointed United's new permanent manager last month after a highly successful caretaker spell in charge.
"Of course when you get Barcelona, with the quality of their team, we know we need to step up our game.
"We know we need to perform to our best levels, which we didn't against PSG at home. The outcome of the second leg against PSG has given the players and supporters belief that the same is possible against Barcelona."
United's comeback at the Parc des Princes was even more remarkable as Solskjaer was without 10 first-team players.
He is short-handed once more with Ander Herrera, Antonio Valencia and Eric Bailly absent through injury.
However, Solskjaer is hopeful that Marcus Rashford and Nemanja Matic will be fit despite failing to take a full part in training on Tuesday.
"He needed an extra warm-up and hopefully he won't get a reaction," said Solskjaer on Rashford's fitness.
"Let's see tomorrow, but hopefully he can be ready."
Paul Pogba will return from suspension after being sent-off in the first leg defeat to PSG.
Pogba has yet to truly shine on the Champions League stage for United, but amid speculation that the French World Cup winner could be tempted by a summer move to Real Madrid, Solskjaer called on the club's record signing to focus on his job tomorrow and rise to the big occasion.
"At Paul's best he can run a game like this," said Solskjaer.
"Paul is looking forward to tomorrow. He is a Manchester United player and he is one of our big performers on the big stage.
"He knows the game against PSG was not his greatest moment. He is only focused on tomorrow playing well against Barcelona and I cannot see him not playing for Manchester United next season."

Sterling, who has 19 goals for City in all competitions this season, was also supported by England team mate Danny Rose. France midfielder Paul Pogba believes England's Raheem Sterling is sometimes treated differently by the British media because he is black and does not get the recognition he deserves for his achievements.

Ligands bind to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) in a site known as the "aromatic box" because it contains aromatic amino acids. Nicotine binds with much greater affinity to the AChR subtype in brain (α4β2), which is thought to be involved in nicotine addiction, than it does to the subtype in muscle (α1β1).
