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

[serghei]

City can't really press well.

No, but they can always score a goal from a beautiful play. One of the better teams when it comes to passing, bummer for them that they have to meet one of the top 2 teams at that chapter. However, Messi has a poor away record in England, Suarez is kind of off in front of goal and Neymar can always have an off day himself. I don't feel overly optimistic about this. I'd take a draw with goals right now.

 

[Ursegor]

Only reason I'm not overly optimistic is because Barca's CL away record is well documented. Even in the peak years Barca never trashed anyone away from home. Nothing to do with Suarez or Neymar or Messi's England record though. 2-2 would be a good result.

Yep, only Leverkusen with Pep and City in the last 3 years. Not that impressive.

Are you aroused?

With the attacking trident of SNM... phwoar indeed

 

[te amo barca]

Lucho is a risky guy so I assume we will go with Atletico/Bilbao approach.

 

[Antimadridista1]

Anyone would like to see this starting eleven ?

---------- Ter Stegen ----------
----- Alves - Pique - Mathieu - Alba -----
Rakitic - Busquets - Mascherano - Ney
------------ Messi - Suarez --------------

 

[serghei]

Stegen - Alves, Pique, Mascherano, Alba - Rakitic, Busquets, Iniesta - Messi, Suarez, Neymar.

 

[instinct]

No, we should stick to our best formation.

Stegen
Alves Pique Masche Alba
Busquets
Rakitic Iniesta
Messi Suarez Neymar

 

[Vilarrubi]

Anyone know if any away tickets are available for non-season ticket holders or members for this game?

 

[Ghosting]

Oh lord I forgot Ter Stegen will play.

 

[Bucky]

Sky Sports News just reported Yaya will be back tomorrow but Milner is out with a knee injury and could miss the CL game v Barça.

Back for what? He's suspended for CL anyway.

 

[Bucky]

Just repeating what they said; he's back for Prem but obviously yeah suspended in CL.

 

[Vars]

I still don't trust our defense. I expect MC to score at least one goal.

I'd be happy with a draw with goals.

2-2.

 

[ATLBarcaFan]

I agree, City will score. I think we should be able to score on them as well, I'd love to see 2-1, will not be easy
