My prediction : 1-2 or 1-3.

2 possession style teams, battle in midlefield will be key, Xavi-Iniesta decline makes us weaker against another possession style but Messi tracking back helps the mid players, it depends how players would start the game, hope no gift goals will be given and let the best team wins...

Haha Suarez says it all, we are Barcelona and we know we can win against City.

Well No Yaya Toure or James Milner . This will end up as a draw , unless Alves plays things might be different .

^ lol.

I'm not sure how this one will pan out. Very difficult to call. I think Barca might win, but City are equally capable of winning too. However, since Toure isn't there. City will find life difficult.

I think Barca will win, Man City already having hard times without Yaya Toure and we all know their Champions League record so Barca are the favourites. Hoping to watch a great game.

Lampard can play in stead of Yaya and we all know what happened last time when lampard played against barca…

A bold Prediction of Mancity 3-2 Barcelona (Silva,Aguero*2,Messi,Neymar)

2-1 for Barcelona
Messi, Suarez / Aguero

City is without Yaya, so Barca could win this.

Yep i agree, Barça is lacking quality in 2 positions on the field, and Pellegrini knows it, but Pellegrini's result VS Barça isnt good, with City, Malaga and Madrid.
City doesnt know how to park the bus, it means that if Messi is on a usual day, they will suffer.
Nasri is the best City player Vs Barça, and im suspecting him to be starter, they respected Barça last year and i suspect a firework start from City in this game, but if Barça scores first, the 2 legs tie is over...

^"park the bus"

:)

anyway anyhow, barca have the advantage. im just hoping it will pan out to be a great match because. IM WATCHING IT! :D

Last weekend incident against Malaga is a good wake up call for Barca. If MC doesn't park the bus then Barca will win (consider Yaya is not there). If they do, and hit Barca on counter... lolllll... Barca will be in trouble

The game would be very tight... I can't wait to see it.

Going with 3-1 Man Citty

City knows how to park the bus ! They park it all the time at Etihad stadium . If you mean , can they play Jose's modified catenaccio ? Nope . However, they can sit little deeper being solid at the back with big boys like Kompany and Mangala , closing gaps faster and hit valurable Barca's defense with quick wingers .

if messi wants to win then barca will win.

Actually, Milner is playing cdm, and Mangala is on bench while Demichelis is playing. Weird decision. It will be surprise if City wins, so I'm saying 1:1. Dzeko and Messi on scoresheet.

0-2 ;)

30 Min, the 2 legs tie is already over :) easy money.

Well, congrats Barca for advancing...

wow. Suarez plays as if he was back at liverpool. too much freedom for him at city's back four. city midfielders are heavily pressured by barca's def. good defending from barca.

Kompany is horrible.
