Looking back at Anderlecht 1-0 Barcelona

Friday, March 4, 2016

Anderlecht got the better of Barcelona in front of a competition-record crowd last season – the teams meet again in the quarter-finals on Tuesday aiming to reach the final tournament in Nyon.

A little over a year after their first meeting in the UEFA Youth League, Anderlecht and Barcelona go head-to-head again on Tuesday with a place in the semi-finals at stake.

A then competition-record attendance of 12,871 was at the Constant Vanden Stock Stadium in Brussels in February 2015 to watch the home team defeat 2014 champions Barcelona 1-0 in the round of 16.

Aaron Leya Iseka scored eight minutes after half-time. The strike, which you can see in the highlights box above, is one of 13 that the 18-year-old has to his name in the UEFA Youth League.

That tally places him third on the competition's all-time scorers' list, behind Atlético Madrid's Roberto Nuñez (15 goals) and Real Madrid's Borja Mayoral (14), who could add to his total against Benfica on Tuesday.
