BARCELOSA!
City stun Barca as Messi misses out...
City thrived upon news that star man Lionel Messi was injured for Barcelona in the pre-match warm up, playing some dazzling football to take a healthy 3-0 lead to the Camp Nou in the return leg. Boosted by news that Fernandinho was in the starting lineup and that their own star Sergio Aguero was fit enough for the bench, City profited from some poor Barca defending to lead 2-0 at half time with goals from captain VIncent Kompany and former Barca man Yaya Toure. They finished off what was a historic win for the blues, with a Samir Nasri goal, his second in two games since returning from injury, and puts them in a fantastic position to advance to the next round of the competition should they hold out in the return leg.
