Manchester City vs Barcelona, 2016 Champions League: Start time, TV listings, live stream
City and Barça clash again. Who wins this one?
Here we go again. Big game.
Barcelona and Manchester City clash for the second time in the Champions League group stage, this time at Etihad Stadium, home of the Citizens. After a 4-0 win at Camp Nou two weeks ago, Barça are in fantastic position to advance to the knockout stages, and a victory is not a necessity, since a point is enough to guarantee a place in the Round of 16 with two games still to play.
But the Catalan giants don't want to risk anything and are going for a victory without a doubt. The best team in the world cannot afford to take certain games for granted, and every one matters. When it's against Pep Guardiola and his talented players, that applies even more. That 4-0 win is not a reflection of what happened in the game: City were very good, better than Barça at times, and if it wasn't for Claudio Bravo's red card, we could be looking at a different result.
But the word "if" doesn't work in football, and wins are the only thing that matter. City and Barça will try to beat each other, and with the talent they have, this will be loads and loads of fun. Do not miss it. It will be a spectacle.
