    What will the outcome be? Should be a good game, I'm going for a City win 2-1. I was gonna create a poll, but haven't a clue how :)

    I hope Barca win it narrowly - will make city have to go all out at the Nou Camp to get through the tie - this will take their eye off the Capital One cup trophy as well IMO... We'll see

    Barcelona are slowly on the decline. Man City have been getting stronger as the season has went on. With their firepower now, I expect them to win this 2-1, 2-0.

    Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are the top European teams now.

    Barca have getting back to their best recently and Messi is back scoring for fun again.
    I'd go with a 1-2 win for Barca.

    I think Yaya will win the midfield battle tonight, which will be vital to this outcome. Also like I've already stated, I think with Man City's firepower at home, I reckon they will win this one.

    I've done a European treble this week:
    MAN CITY v Barcelona @2/1
    AC Milan v ATH MADRID @5/4
    Swansea v NAPOLI @7/5

    15/1 for that treble and I'm very confident of it <ok>

    Without a debt, not all stars perform at the WC. Things seem to click in the CL

    A few weeks ago I was confident Citeh would win over the two legs but now I'm not so sure. They don't seem as much as a threat going forward without Aguerro and Messi at last seems to be finding some form after his hamstring injury. I'm going for a 1-1 draw.

    Barca have their excuses in already mind. The ref isn't 'Latin'.

    This game really deserves the best players on the pitch so I'm disappointed that Aguero is out. I think City might miss his finesse tonight.

    I think City need to be winning this 2-0 to have a chance of progressing.

    The problem City have at the moment is the fact the lack the 'big game' experience that other teams such as Barca, Bayern, Chelsea all have. It will come with time, but that's one of the reasons Jose is the world's best gaffer. I heard him talking after they beat City and he spoke about putting certain players in just to get them used to the big occasions.

    I hope this game lives up to the hype, if its anything like the Bayern v Citeh game it will be a cracker.

    I'm on that exact same thing mate, I've also got a bet on the same treble all minus 1, at around 120/1

    Barca are nowhere near what they were, they hate being pressed in midfield and City are strong here.

    I expect Yaya to boss midfield & City to win over 2 legs. Just.

    It looks a strong bet mate. Can't believe the price of Napoli, so had a separate bet on them.

    I expect Yaya to be the stand-out player tonight and he's 10/1 to be man of the match. Another sound bet.

    Napoli, even at half power, should destroy Swansea, they just have way too much in midfield.

    I might have a nibble at that Toure bet as well, was looking at penalty in game but it's odds on! What the ****!

    PSG, City, Derby, Watford, Coventry is a 50/1 bet, worth a nudge.

    Haven't exactly got a bonk on about Demichelis starting...

    Man City just need to play their attacking game and press Barca high up the pitch and everything should be fine <ok>
