UEFA Champions League Pre-Match: Barcelona vs Manchester City/19.10.2016/FIFA 17 GAMEPLAY

FC Barcelona vs, Manchester City / Champions League – This is certainly the most attractive match of the third round in Champions League as two teams will meet, which last year made very far in this competition. Barcelona was stopped by later finalist Atletico Madrid, while English Manchester City was eliminated by reigning champion Real Madrid in the semi-final. Besides, both teams do very wee in respective domestic championships, while in first two rounds in the Group C the Catalans won both times, and the Citizens won one and lost one match. Let’s add that the two teams met in seasons 2013/14 and 2014/15 in the round of 16 of Champions League and Barcelona was absolutely dominant as it won all four head-to-head. Begins: 19.10.2016 – 20:45 CET

Barcelona is quite certainly aware that ahead of them is perhaps the most difficult task in the group phase. They will face Manchester United two times but this team is led by their former coach Guardiola, who was an important link in Barca’s chain when they won the title of European champion in season 2014/15, playing with almost the same team like they will on Wednesday, so he perfectly knows who can do what.

As we have written many times what Barca can do, this time we will pay more attention to their flaws, which they demonstrated this season only in the Spanish championship where they lost two times in eight rounds, which is why occupy fourth place in the standings, having one point fewer than Sevilla and two than duo from Madrid, Atletico and Real. On the other hand, in the first round of Champions League they outclassed Celtic at home by even 7-0, while in the second round when they played against Borussia in Monchengladbach they struggled but won at the end by 2-1. Let’s add that only injured goalkeeper Cillessen is not ready for the head-to-head with the Citizen.

Probable lineups Barcelona: ter Stegen – Roberto, Umtiti, Pique, Alba – Rakitic, Busquets, Iniesta – Messi, Suarez, Neymar

Manchester City
The Citizens seemed almost unstoppable till the draw away with Celtic in the Champions League, as they won first six matches in the English championship, while in the Champions League after routine job in the play-off against Romanian Steaua they won at home Borussia M’gladbach in the first round of group phase by high 4-0.

Anyway, the drew in Scotland has obviously spoiled good atmosphere in the locker room and after that they lost their first match in the Premier League to Tottenham this season. They lost by 2-0 at the White Hart lane, while last weekend they merely drew 1-1 at their Etihad with Everton. True, they still occupy the first place in the Premier League’s standings, but only having better goal difference than Arsenal, while the Spurs are in the meantime reduced the backlog at just one point. Regarding the team that will face Barca, due to injuries out of action are only defender Sagna and midfielder Delph, while not fully recovered stopper Kompany is questionable.

Probable lineups City: Bravo – Zabaleta, Stones, Otamendi, Kolarov – Fernandinho – Sterling, de Bruyne, Silva, Nolito – Aguero
