Nasri insists Man City can rescue Champions League tie

Samir Nasri insists Manchester City's Champions League hopes aren't over after their 2-0 defeat to Barcelona.

Nasri hopes City can produce a response similar to the one they mustered after being humbled by Bayern Munich in October.

City were outplayed as they lost their home group match to the reigning champions 3-1 but they won the return match in Germany in December 3-2.

Nasri said: "It is a different game but why not? We went to Munich and we won. We could do the same.

"I think it is not over. It was a close game and then the referee made a mistake.

"It was not a pen, it was a free-kick. We still have a chance and we are going to play the game there without fear and try to score as soon as possible."
