Well it’s not the first time Lionel Messi has failed from the spot against an English side and it could have been worse for Manchester City. They looked dead and buried when they were 2-0 down at half-time, but it was a spirited response after the break and they deserved Sergio Aguero’s goal. Will it be enough at Camp Nou, though? They’ll have Yaya Toure back, but they’ll have to go there and win the second leg. Which is easier said than done. Barcelona are massive favourites now, although they may well think that they should be out of sight already. They had enough chances to kill City off before Aguero’s goal and you can’t help but wonder if they’ll end up regretting Messi’s missed penalty. Probably not, on balance, but you never know. Thanks for reading. Goodnight.
