Samir Nasri: 'Chelsea win can inspire Barcelona scalp'

Samir Nasri hopes that Manchester City's win over Chelsea can inspire them to beating Barcelona in the Champions League on Tuesday.

Samir Nasri believes that Manchester City's win over Chelsea can inspire them to beating Barcelona in the Champions League on Tuesday.

City host the Catalan giants in the first leg of their last-16 tie at the Etihad Stadium this week on the back of a 2-0 victory over the Blues in a fifth-round FA Cup tie.

"We showed them (Chelsea) how good we are and we don't accept a defeat, especially against a team like this," he told BT Sport.

"Tuesday is a massive game. Every player wants to play those kind of games - Champions League, last 16, against Barcelona. The good thing is we are really strong. We have our confidence back.

"I think they are weaker than they were two years ago. It's going to be a tight game and an interesting game for everyone."

Tuesday's encounter is scheduled to kick off at 7.45pm.
