FC Barcelona will host Manchester City this Wednesday for the second leg of the Champions League round of 16. Following a disappointing defeat (0-1) to Wigan in the FA Cup quarter-final last weekend, City returns to Camp Nou with morale at its lowest. Samir Nasri is eager to lead his team to redemption against Barcelona after their FA Cup exit.
“It feels like we’re hungover. Our performance against Wigan was subpar, and we didn’t play to our potential. I’m at a loss for words because I’m truly disappointed. What’s even more frustrating is that this is the second time Wigan has knocked us out of the FA Cup. It’s incredibly hard to accept. Thankfully, we have a significant match on Wednesday. It’s the perfect opportunity to put this defeat behind us and focus on the upcoming challenge. Barcelona awaits us, and we must approach it with positivity and determination to secure a favorable result. It’s an immense game, and we have the potential to achieve something extraordinary by overturning the deficit, but we must remain focused and learn from our mistakes against Wigan,” Nasri expressed.
Manchester City suffered a 2-0 defeat on home turf in the first leg against Barcelona.
