Samir Nasri, the midfielder for Manchester City, believes that his team can still qualify against Barcelona despite their 2-0 defeat in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16. Nasri emphasized that City has nothing to lose and should approach the game with a bold and attacking mindset, similar to how they played against Bayern Munich. He highlighted Barcelona’s vulnerabilities defensively and expressed confidence in City’s ability to exploit them, especially with the speed of striker Kun Agüero.
Nasri pointed out that City performed better against Barcelona when they were down to ten men, suggesting that they should adopt a fearless and aggressive approach from the start at Camp Nou. He referenced Real Sociedad’s recent victory over Barcelona as evidence that teams can defeat the Catalan giants by playing without fear or inhibition.
Vincent Kompany, the captain of Manchester City, also expressed belief in the team’s ability to qualify for the next round. With both Nasri and Kompany expressing optimism, City will be aiming for a comeback victory against Barcelona in the crucial second leg.
