Manchester City is gearing up for a challenging encounter as they head to the Camp Nou this Wednesday to take on FC Barcelona in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16. Fresh off their elimination by Wigan in the FA Cup (1-2), the Sky Blues are not in the best form for their trip to Spain.
The Citizens will need to produce an extraordinary performance against the Catalan giants if they aim to prolong their journey in the Champions League. Vincent Kompany is well aware of the task ahead.
“While there are always standout names in an exceptional team like Barcelona, the reality is that they possess a squad of players who pose a serious threat. We must understand that we’re facing Barcelona as a team, not just individual stars like Messi or Neymar. Danger can emerge from any direction,” remarked the Belgian international of Congolese descent in an interview on the UEFA website. He further emphasized, “This marks our third consecutive season competing in the Champions League, and we’ve made significant strides in the competition.”
