Why exactly should Man City be the favorites against Barcelona??! Gimme one good reason!

City
- strong and tall players
- have a strong defence (well just kompany but he counts for 3 )
- have two strong and tall defensive mids
- fast winger named navas , try remember games vs seville then you'll understand.
- have aguero as a striker ( try remember how he performed against barca with atl madrid then you'll understand)
- they have a david silva (who keeps the ball well under pressure)

So they have a better team in terms of what makes a team successful. Good defence,mid and attack.

Barca on the other hand have a fabulous attack , probably the best in the world but on the other half its just a disaster , that's why city are more likely to win.

lol ...so much arrogance ...just like last season, when people were claiming we would destroy Bayern :lol:

No, just a good feeling, though sometimes I feel this forum lacks a bit of arrogance as well as our players...they tend to be overcareful in some away matches.
Let's not forget: WE ARE BARCA, last year was nothing special in our standards, but thoose standards are boyond the reach of anyone else.

Of course I hope all our players are fit, but with: Don, Cesc, Xavi, Neymar and Messi...let others be scared of us!

guys???someone pinch me?!?!
why the **** is averybody hyping manchester city?? wen leo is on form we will trash them, any other result would be a dissapointment for barca.
we are superior in every position + we got the 2 best players in the world + busquets and neymar.
i dont say we win in england but at camp nou a 3-4 goal win seems possible

CR7 is playing for us now ?

Iniesta isn't anymore in the top 3, he doesn't play well this season ; at least not enough to expect him to be decisive in a match of that quality.

City are too strong for us. Here is why:

- they have the best player in the world who is not only that but also arguably the best player in the history of the sport, winning 4 consecutive Ballon d'Ors
- they have the biggest prospect in world football who is already on double digits in goals and assists not even halfway through the season supporting this afromentioned player
- their entire squad is plastered with World Cup, multiple Euro Cup and multiple CL winners and a former European Player Of The Year
- they have the experience of 6 consecutive CL semi finals
- they have just set an all time record in their league, staying on top of the table for 54 consecutive match days
- they have lost 1 meaningful game all season
- they are conceding 0.68 goals per game. We are condeding 1.17 goals per game

Sorry guys, but I'm not confident. This is the first time in our club's history we're even making it this far.

Also let's not forget how bayern demolished them in Manchester, not to put down their victory in Munich but after 2:0 I think Bayern relaxed to much. But in England they destroyed them with similar game we'll play

To be fair to them they do have a manager with great experience in this competition. This is a hard one to call and in the end I think it will come down to Messi.

No surprise to see such negativity on this forum, its the usual.

We are a better side than city, and have the experience that is crucial in these games, I see us going through with a bit to spare. City are not as good as some people make out, there defence is worse than ours as is their midfield and attack, how anyone makes them favourites I don't know.

Messi is yet to come back and hasn't been fit since April so that is going to be huge for us.

Neymar is getting more confident each game and the team are becoming more confident in him as well, the same with Alexis. I think our attack will be too much for them to handle especially as we will have 70 % possession.

They will be a threat and we will have to be prepared for some difficulty but Tata is not an idiot and I am confident he will not go into this tie without a strategy which is what happened vs Bayern.

Knowing Tata he will probably play this line-up

Alves----Pique---Masch-----Alba

Xavi-----------busi---------iniesta

Messi----------Cesc---------Neymar

They'll trash us with such a lineup especialy in the away leg....

PELLEGRINI: "I think Barcelona will be very concerned that they have drawn us. They are not the team of two years ago."


Sadly, very true ! That's why Pep was so God sent to Barca, so crucial to our play. There are very few men in the world that can change a club like Pep did to Barca and now seem to do with Bayern...
