After seeing these photos I think we'll beat them, half their team are clearly imbeciles wearing sunglasses indoors... in Manchester... in Winter.

Does anyone know how many times have Barca played in UK say in last 5 years. and what were the results.
I seem to remember they have played Arse , Celtic , and not sure if they have played rags at the swamp.

11/12 lost 1-0 to Chelsea in CL semi finals
10/11 beat rags 3-1 in CL final
10/11 lost 2-1 to Arsenal in CL R16
09/10 drew 2-2 with Arsenal in CL quarter finals
08/09 drew 1-1 with Chelsea in CL semi finals

Not a great record really. They got beat 1-0 by the rags at the swamp in 07/08 as well.

Iv not been able to take my mind of this game all day. I wouldn't have even dreamed about games such as this a couple of years ago. But for the players its the reason there here, not for our money, but to be part of these kind of games. They have waited for this opportunity and I'm a 100% certain each and every single player, no matter the size of the role they play tomorrow, will give it there all.

Never felt more like singing the blues
to see city win and barca lose
oh city, you've got me singing the blues!

Its the stuff of dreams isnt it!! playing Barca in the latter stages of the european cup!

as excited as us City fans are, i think its an exciting game for the neutral as well. Football will be the winner. It has all the ingredients of being an absolute classic.
