A first leg, and one in which Barcelona would be happy with a draw. Don't think goals will be as plentiful as many think.

No yaa-Yaa big blow for city ,hard to see city win w/o him 2-2

Agree with ted most likely a tight game with fewer goals than expected! I think city would be delighted with a 0-0 tonight and hope to win on away goals but like I said on the other game thread for tonight 1st legs overly tight as bayern win 8-0 and 6-0 either side of drawing 0-0 with a less than average shakhtar team who they would usually stick 3-4 past! Small draw double on both for me tonight and might play unders on both then trade out in play! Good luck

1-1 surely a player here, that would suit bartha down to the ground

Can see goals and even more goals. The lords services won't be called upon in Manchester.
Yaya is a big miss, Demichelis will do his best to watch Kompany but it'll be hard. |

By:
Interesting fact mover ... 3-3

By:
Wont be any more than 2 goals(Nap).

By:
fancy a draw here, 1-1
|
|
By:
took the 6/4 barca this morning, city will miss yaya and the defence look vulnerable.
|
|
By:
Will he play bony,why not ?
|
|
By:
I'd keep Bony back for second half if needed and start with :
Hart Zabaleta Kompany Mangala Clichy Fernando Fernandinho Navas Silva Nasri Aguero |
|
By:
Fancy Barca here.
|
|
By:
looks like Demichelis, Milner and Dzecko starting
|
|
By:
Manchester City XI: Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany (C), Demichelis, Clichy, Fernando, Milner, Nasri, Silva, Dzeko, Aguero.
|
|
By:
Barcelona XI: Ter Stegen, Pique, Rakitic, Sergio, Iniesta, Suarez, Messi, Neymar, Mascherano, J.Alba, Alves.
|

By:
man city should have played boney ffs.
|
|
By:
With city playing Demichellis and no Yaya a back of Barca for me. Good luck all.
|
|
By:
i have 2 agree, no surprises here. naive pellegrini knocked out of the champions league early on again.
|
|
By:
City looked to keep things tight in the first game last season. They were playing them the same way Chelsea have in the past.
It only went wrong when they got the red card so you have to think they'll adopt the same approach again. |
|
By:
playing two up front with Demichelis and Milner isn't tight...have to admit with that selection confidence has dropped

By:
Midfield looks v weak ,goals
|
|
By:
442 for city.... And a week 4 in midfield imo,city might not get a kick
With those three up front it's gotta be barca for me gl all |
|
By:
Everytime barca come to england in first leg they usually play for the draw and dont really attack as they usually do, dont see much changing here, hope im worng an messi goes through them like a kinfe thr butter but theyl take a 1-1
|
|
By:
Beat City in the 1st leg away last season 0-2 so im hoping for the same again tonight. Ill be happy if City can pull it off though for English clubs

Messi Suarez Neymar...poor ol' Barca fans

man city are a good team but no one in the prem is used to a high calibre team like Barca.
barca on their day are to good. But a good team can counter and hopefully man city get the chance. |

Maybe but it looks to me they'll look to Silva, Nasri, Aguero and Dzeko to win them the game and the rest to keep it tight and not get ahead of the ball too much. Would be surprised if Zabaleta and Clichy go forward as much as they would usually. |
|
By:
last year against barca at the etihad manc parked the bus and after the game that they lost 0-2 kompany said that they made the mistake of showing barca too much respect, so i'd be surprised if they defend as deep again (even if this approach worked well for malaga on saturday), if its an open game then goals are very likely
