City is better organized and better at the back. they also have a better coach. im not saying City is going through, but im also sure it wont be as easy as last year. id put chances around 55%-45% in favor of Barca

yes, but City underperformed in last year games. they play the 1st game at home and if they win then they are my favorites to progress in the second leg
I like being at home first because I think it's easier to keep a clean sheet in the first game when the two teams will feel each other out for the first half or so.
City, the epitome of a bunch of horribly overpayed defenders, that cant controll space like shit, against a team that has redefined abusing poor closing down of space.
Its not about "will barcelona win", its about, "how many will they score".
Nope, I definitely think we're better off playing the home leg first. We rarely lose at home (and don't concede as many) and we obviously have a better chance to score there and set ourselves up for the return leg.

Kompany (if he is fit) and Zabaleta are good.
I would have thought they solved a lot of their problems with the signing of Mangala but he hasn't shown the potential he definitely has up until now.
Clichy is ok, Kolarov is no defender, Demichelis is over the top so they surely need a fit Kompany and a good Mangala to stand a chance against Barca.
But, with Fernando and Fernandinho, they have two DM's that also do a lot of the defensive work so that will help them.
