UEFA CL Match Preview : Barcelona vs Manchester City

naijabet.com

Barcelona top Group C having won their two Champions League games this season. The La Liga champions have conceded just one goal across their two European outings and will be confident of once again getting the better of Manchester City.

Pep Guardiola returns to Camp Nou for the second time as opposing manager and will hope for a better performance than his previous visit, where his Bayern Munich side fell to a 3-0 loss. However, City have lost their four Champions League meetings with Barcelona, which adds to the pressure coming into this tie.
