Manchester City vs Barcelona


One of the biggest and most anticipated games of 2015 to date, with Catalan giants traveling to the Blue side of Manchester.


But what is not surprising is, the players of both the teams aren't really drooling over the tie. With City and Barcelona facing each other for the past three seasons they both are treating it as just another game. But both sides want to win and make it to the quarterfinals.


Barcelona who defeated City 4-1 over the two legs last year in the same stage of the Champions league would be looking for a repeat. Whereas home side Manchester City would like to write a new history.


Barcelona who have made to seven consecutive Champions league finals will be looking for their eight trip. The Catalan team who looked impeccable with a 11 game winning streak, were brought to ground by Malaga who won by a goal at the camp nou.


City on the other hand, haven't had much history in the Champions League. This will be only the second time when the English champions will play in the round of 16. With Yaya Toure and new signing Wilfred Bony back after winning the African Cup Of Nations trophy, the team looked rejuvenated and hungry to win as they thumped Newcastle by 5 goals.
