Champions League Draw Barca 18th Feb (H) & 12th Mar (A)

Re: The round of 16 Champions League (drawn against Barcelona)

Fantastic draw. If anybody is filled with trepidation for this draw......................just think about how Barca will be feeling. They will be the team with all the pressure on them, we've nothing to lose.

If we can put 6 past the greatest bestest team of all time (Arsenal) then I fancy at least 7 or 8 against Barca. Just need to get our away form sorted before the return leg :-)

Have you been there? The Nou Camp is falling apart. Plus he's going nowhere.
 
Re: The round of 16 Champions League (drawn against Barcelona)

well well should be cracking game hope the players will upp their game and start strongly not like the bayern games

Last year PSG nearly knocked them out

After all there is no shame if city lose Barca :) just happy for the progress this year compared to last 2 campaign

Wonderful draw. If we win, the rest of them will be cacking it for the next round and we will have had one hell of a celebration. If we lose, it should at least be a fantastic couple of games - much much better than playing Dortmund and them squeezing through on away goals after two tight low scoring defensive games.

Bayern beat them 7-0 over two legs last season, what's to fear ?

He played in Germany and was on the bench at home, as I said what's to fear.

As a cup scheme member, I'm delighted in the knowledge my seat is already booked. :)

Also, these accounts could be a hoax but this is funny (note the time-stamp):

Better yet, as Ric Flair says. "If you want to be the man, you gotta beat the man! Woooooo!"

Bring em on. The Prem is not a two team league. We get tested week after week. Barcelona is a tough draw but the boys will be up for it. I can't wait!

Have ITV announced when they are showing Olympiakos v Rags yet?
 
Re: The round of 16 Champions League (drawn against Barcelona)

The home leg would be a great time for Txiki to do his stuff & tap up Messi.
 
Re: The round of 16 Champions League (drawn against Barcelona)

Tough draw but winnable. Barca's strength is attacking, weakness is defence. The same could be said of City. This has the potential to be a pair of very high scoring games. I honestly believe that, if we can play like we have done at home this season (Bayern aside) that we've a chance of beating them. Barca are favourites, clearly, but we can get at them, and we can score. Messi's availability isn't certain either, if he's out that's a bonus.

Neat. This will be fun to watch. :)
 
Re: The round of 16 Champions League (drawn against Barcelona)

Cannot wait! Get Eastlands rocking for the home game. Then attack through their slow, soft centre and score a few! Will be a case of us sitting and defending and then attacking quickly. Going to be quite a few goals I would have thought. Pellegrini will approach the game cautiously in the first leg and keep us in the tie and then we will look to counter away from home. Same approach as he used with Malaga! Been waiting for a big European night like this for a long long time!!!
 
Re: The round of 16 Champions League (drawn against Barcelona)

That will do nicely, wanted Barca so Im happy, doom mongers piss off to rag café, we will beat Barca, they will shit themselves when the Beast and Kun start putting them to the sword. This is what its all about!! Way too many worrying about who the rags have drawn, who gives a flying one, they will be destroyed sooner or later.. York away to this, it could not be better!!

Easily the toughest draw we could've had.

Looking forward to it though. Glad I'll get to see that midfield trio of Xavi/Iniesta/Busquets in the flesh before Xavi hangs them up.

Imagine the midfield battle with Yaya, Fernan, Nasri and Merlin against them. Wow!
