Video: Barcelona 2 - 1 Manchester City - The Catalans ease into the quarters

 

Lionel Messi of Barcelona flicks the ball past goalkeeper Joe Hart of Manchester City to score the opening goal during the UEFA Champions League Round of 16, second leg match between FC Barcelona and Manchester City at Camp Nou

Premier League outfit Manchester City faced an uphill task in their second leg, round of 16 UEFA Champions League visit to the Camp Nou, having to turn over a deficit of 2 goals.

All hopes of a miracle vanished when Lionel Messi scored midway into the second half to increase their aggregate lead to 3-0. Things got worse for the visitors as right back Pablo Zabaleta got the marching orders after he was shown a second yellow for remonstrating with the referee. Although Vincent Kompany produced an unlikely equaliser from late a corner, they failed to hold on as Daniel Alves scored at the death to beat the Citizens in both legs to progress to the quarter finals.
