Now they have to overcome another historic club, when they meet Manchester United with a place in the semifinals at stake. In this episode, Gerard Piqué returns to the house where he lived as a youth, and new teammate Clément Lénglet -signed months before and already a regular starter- is visited by his brothers. The duo are vital to achieving success at Old Trafford, and subsequently clinching their spot in the semis at the Camp Nou.
The Neighbours
