King Jela 20,660 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Hoping Man City pump the cunts. Can only see a Barca win over the 2 legs, they're hitting form at the exact right time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClydebankBearWATP 877 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Depends if demichelis plays any part Barcas front 3 are just too good Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithgersbear 3,225 Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 Depends if demichelis plays any part Barcas front 3 are just too goodBut they aren't that good at the back I don't think. But then again, they rely on a team effort to defend. Will be interesting to watch it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Godfather 72,648 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 City are so good attacking wise but at the back they are average...bit like Barca tbh.Should be a cracker.City going out at this stage would mean they would be EPL champions IMO.

Paulie Walnuts 1,061 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Can see a City win at the etihad but i think Barca will win after both legs, should be a good tie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithgersbear 3,225 Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 Barcelona won't destroy Man City at all, I think it will be tight. I just hope Barcelona play that football which pins a team in their own half and strangle the life out of the opposition. I love watching it and seeing the other team try to hang on for dear life.

andy500 463 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Promises to be full of goals, so no doubt a 0-0 bore fest!I fancy City to win, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanhentze 14,311 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 If City can keep it tight for the first half then anything can happen.. If Barca score straight away they City are in big trouble. Im predicting a mauling, to be honest... Barca for me! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Godfather 72,648 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I can't remember too many Barcelona European games being boring tbh.I think the way both play it's set up to be a classic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barcelona had no idea what to do.Yeah, Barcelona do not change gameplan...they stick to what they know which can be frustrating but 99% of the time it works for them. City can't sit back and let Barca pin them because they are terrible at the back and Barca don't sit back either.City know only one way to play and that is to attack while Barca like to keep the ball and work spaces all over the park.It really is set up to be a cracking tie IMO.
