Nou way man
Iniesta reckons Barca will make City ‘suffer’ as EPL champs hunt for goals at Nou Camp.
Andres Iniesta says Barcelona aim to make Manchester City “suffer” when the two sides meet in the Champions League at the Nou Camp tonight.
Barca hold a 2-1 lead from the first leg at the Etihad Stadium three weeks ago and playmaker Iniesta said the Spanish side aim to pile the pressure on under-fire Manuel Pellegrini and his players. “We will go out there and play in a very comprehensive manner,” said Iniesta.
We have a 50/50 chance: Yaya
Yaya Toure insists City have still got a “50-50 chance” of going through. Toure says City is better than last year when they went out to Barca at the same stage of the Champions League.
He said: “We have got a few fantastic players at City and I think it is a 50/50 game because they won (the first leg) 2-1. “We didn’t win last year, but I think this year is different.
“It is always difficult to play against Barca when you have to run after the score. But in football anything can happen, we have our chance and they have their chance as well and we will see.” Daily Mirror
KLOPP OUT TO END JUVE JINX
Dortmund Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp is confident his side can reach the Champions League quarters and in the process record their first ever home win over Italian champions Juventus. On three occasions Dortmund have hosted Juventus and lost.
Dortmund, who beat Juventus to secure their sole Champions League trophy in 1997 in Munich, trail 2-1 after the first leg. “One should not see this result too negatively.
The aim remains to reach the Champions League's quarter-finals and the boys can do it,” said Klopp, whose side has taken 14 points from a possible 18 in the league recently.

“We need to have lots of ball possession so they suffer, so they are chasing the ball. We need to have a lot of skills and it’s about minimising their potential. If we don’t achieve that, Manchester City can achieve their own objectives. We have to control what is going on at every moment.”
