Barcelona v man city

On the 18th march the second leg of the round 16 Champions League match between Barcelona and Manchester City took place at the Camp Nou.

Manchester City had a big battle on  their hands as they were already 2-1 down after the first leg  so City needed at least 2 goals to take the tie to extra time.

Unfortunately, it did not look good for the English side when Messi set up an Ivan Rakitic lob in the first half of the match. Things began to look promising when Sergio Aguero was awarded a penalty but it was saved.

The scoreline could have been a lot worse for Man City but Hart was on top form throughout the evening by making 10 superb saves to stop Barcelona from extending the gap.

This is the fourth time that Manchester City have failed to make the quarter finals in as many attempts and with this being their fourth defeat in five games there is a significant question surrounding Manuel Pellegrini’s role as manager. It does seem that he is in danger of losing his job as Manchester City may come away from this season without any silverware.
