CL: Barca - Man City 1-0 (3-1 agg.)

[te amo barca]

Reigning Premier League champions Manchester City have been drawn against Barcelona for the second year in a row in the last-16 of the Champions League after finishing second in Group E behind Bayern Munich.

Man City were inches away from exiting the group stages at one points after picking up just two points from their opening four matches. Defeats to Bayern Munich and CSKA Moscow, as well as draws against the Russians and AS Roma saw Man City staring down the barrel of the gun.

However, two wins from their final two matches against Bayern Munich and Roma saw City advance to the knockout stages in second place and now must face Barcelona on either February 17th or 18th, but must play their first leg at the Etihad Stadium.

City were knocked out of the Champions League in the last-16 last season when Lionel Messi’s marvellous displays both home and away saw Barcelona triumph 4-1 on aggregate, but Manuel Pellegrini will be looking for a passage through to the quarter-finals this year.

Sergio Aguero has been directly involved in 66.6% of Man City’s goals in the Champions League this season.

Are you happy with the draw?

City is Barca's new Arsenal.

 

[Barcaman]

Just as I hoped, nice

Btw. What's with City oriented headline and article? Typical English bias news

Prepare for Mathieu vs Aguero, by the way.

 

[D10S_JC]

No Yaya Toure in away game. Bad news for Barca

 

[hulinat]

Aguero's injured

Prepare for Mathieu vs Aguero, by the way.

Last year Aguero only touched the ball during the kick off, he isnt a threat.

Hopefully, it won't happen.

 

[DonAK]

We'll destroy them like last year.

 

[Messi10]

We need to get a new manager in quick if we are to win this one

 

[Professor Chaos]

City isn't a threat. It's all depend on our performance. We can easly win this tie. Real of course gets Schalke. I bet they will get Porto/Basel in the 1/4

 

[Hamzah]

I don't think we will destroy anything he but we should win. I'd be mad at enrique if we can't beat that lot.

 

[MaxY]

I'm super glad you drew City, I have to be honest and say that they are probably favorites to advance.

Like last year you mean? Lol, sit down. We'll kick their ass like last time. Meanwhile you enjoy getting a not so strong team as usual.

Please.
