Ruben Cousillas: 'Manchester City can turn it around against Barcelona'

Manchester City manager Ruben Cousillas says that his side can turn around their Champions League fortunes against Barcelona.

Manchester City assistant manager Ruben Cousillas has said that his side can turn around their 2-0 deficit to beat Barcelona when the sides meet in the Champions League tomorrow night.

City go into the second leg chasing two goals at Camp Nou, with Dani Alvez and Lionel Messi getting on the scoresheet in their previous fixture at the Etihad.

"We have to try and turn this game around and we have the weapons to do that. That is what we will try to do, fight until the end," Cousillas told reporters ahead of the match.

"We will try to be the main characters and take our own risks, of course with the precautions of facing a great team.

"In order to beat Barcelona, we will have to play a very complete game."

City are currently sitting in fourth position in the Premier League table, though they have two games in hand against most of their rivals.
