Zabaleta: "we Wanted to avoid to the Barça, but are the City"

In statements conceded to the "Diari PLOUGHS", Pablo Zabaleta has valued the difficult that will be to surpass to the FC Barcelona in eighth of Champions League after having been deleted in the same round against the same rival the past season. In any case this motivates to some "citizens" that for nothing will go out with fear against the Barcelona. "The Madrid and the Barça estan a bit above the rest. We wanted to avoid to the Barça but are the Manchester City and will try to do it better that the past season to delete them", signals the Argentinian.

"The Barça is one of the big candidates but us leftover confidence to play this type of parties. As well as we wanted to avoid to the Barça, think that they also wanted to us avoid. We were one of the teams to fear. I expect that we see an eliminatory of good football". Zabaleta believes, besides, that the things can change with regard to the past year. "If it had not been penalti and expulsion of Demichelis would have obtained a better result and would have gone calmer to the Camp Nou. We were to compete well but the gone was decisive".

It signals, also, that in spite of not being the game of the Barça so brilliant like the one of previous seasons, the group culé keeps on being equally dangerous. "The Barça does not leave to be the Barça. Although they do not play a big party or do not have the intensity of other years, has grandísimos players that can decide a party. They have won to the PSG and this shows that they are an important team".

The Manchester City, in spite of everything, for the moment will arrive enchufado to the eliminatory as long as it keep the results that is achieving in the last parties. "We have won six parties followed and this wants to say that we are in a good moment. Classify us for the following round of the Champions gave us a lot of morals".
