Barcelona sometimes played as in their best times and won away against Manchester City 2: 1. Two goals scored by Luis Suarez probably convince fans that download it to the club from the capital of Catalonia was a good idea.
Barcelona since the beginning of Manchester played like the good old days. Although she somewhat asekuracyjnie, it eventually gained more and more of an advantage at one point dominated his opponent, as if playing with a team from the lower division in the Cup. Already after 30 minutes led 2: 0 after two goals from Luis Suarez. For several months there was a lot of doubt whether a transplant Uruguayan duly Catalan fit to the body. Yes, he played well and sometimes very well, but I lacked such a match as the City. Adaptation was a success.
In the early moments of the game looked like a doomed Joe Hart’s private war with the magic triangle, Neymar – Suarez – Messi. Was a wonderful individual action of the latter on the second goal. It could be higher, because the perfect opportunity, after playing Messi, Neymar was, then switched roles and alone with Hart was Argentinean. Could still score a goal Dani Alves, but the ball hit the crossbar.
Before the meeting, British journalists sensed trouble, indicating a lack of Yayi Toure (sidelined for a red card, but will return in return) as a possible key to the problem.
Barcelona still look through the prism of a few years, when it was unattainable for most teams in the world, was a reference for most of the teams of the modern football. Today, again looking for identity. Sitting on the bench when the great architect of the team, Xavi, Barca game but otherwise enters the opponent to score much simpler means, then his dance begins best attack in the world. Falling asleep, waiting, and you least expect it performs some unconventional attack.
The home players were helpless against them. In the first half they played a little aggressive, not to say timidly, did not have too much idea of penetration into the box by Marc Andre ter Stegen. The young German had a lot of work. But only for a break.
After the change of sides Manchester City broke into frenzied attacks and in just a few minutes created four great situations, but none was able to use. Wailed effectiveness, but players still rubbed City.
Until finally in the 69th minute misled great defenders David Silva, Kun Aguero took the ball and gave hope to the hosts. Argentine striker is not slowing down. In the last 10 Champions League matches scored 11 goals.
It’s just that moment after the equalizer second yellow card for a fairly mindless and somewhat accidental foul saw Gael Clichy, which meant that City actually chase ended. Besides, he knew very well that Manuel Pellegrini. City Manager for 15 minutes before the end off the field David Silva and defender Bacary Sagna introduced give your players to understand that a score of 1: 2 in these circumstances is quite favorable.
In the end this could change, because Leo Messi was fouled in the penalty box by his great friend Pablo Zabaleta. Argentine shot from the penalty spot but defended Hart in great style.
Manchester City – FC Barcelona 1: 2
Goals: Aguero 60 – Suarez, 16, 30
