Silva: For Man City to beat Barcelona would be pivotal

David Silva believes Manchester City could be at the next level by knocking Barcelona out of the Champions League. "It will be difficult, but beating Barcelona would be like a coming of age for Man City, very important for our confidence and international recognition," Silva told the Manchester Evening News.

"It is a pity that we are without Sergio Aguero and possibly Fernandinho, who is very important for us in midfield. Sometimes we get a bit broken in midfield, there is too much separation between lines when we go forward, and are susceptible to the counter attack."
