CL Last 16 vs Barcelona (feb. 24 & mar. 18)

[Stoned Rose]

Anyone saying this draw has been 'fixed' is mental imo.

If they really wanted us gone they'd have paired us with Real or Bayern who are both better than Barcelona.

There is no way in any sane mind that Barcelona are guaranteed to beat us.


Should we beat these, which I think we can, we'll have beaten Bayern, Barca and Roma in this campaign. The rest of the competition would absolutely shite their knickers.

Could be the fixture that really puts us 'up there' in Europe this.

Bavarian Blues champing at the bit for Barca away again. Might have to bring a few Augustiner's rather than drink fucking San Miguel.

 

[Andouble]

if we had everyone fit, Zaba-VK-EM-GC, the two Fern's, Milner, Silva, Nasri, Aguero could win.

If we go 4-4-2 I don't like our chances. Blessing in disguise Yaya is out for the first leg, doesn't cover enough ground in CL.

So for the away leg.

You buy plane tickets now.

Then you buy match tickets from City directly? These are on general sale?

What if you don't get a match ticket after paying for the plane?

You don't get free City match tickets with easyjet pal

Beat Barcelona and everything else will be a bonus.

I hope we dont give them too much respect. Suarez and Messi will be a handful though i think the Ferns can keep neymar quiet.

Suarez is a flat track bully. Neymar is the real danger man not named Messi and a little physicality will take him out of the match. If they start all 3 strikers they won't have the ball retention they did last season and that would be great for us.

Madrid fan here....feel optimistic about drawing the cules....they are on the verge of panic...Luis Enrique is close to losing his team and shown to be inept tactically

And the Catalan press is close to turning on the players

Where is everyone staying?
Eixample? Las Ramblas?
