Manuel Pellegrini believes Manchester City are in far better form to
take on Barcelona in this season's Champions League than they were
when they lost to the same opponents in the competition 12 months ago.

After a 5-0 victory over Newcastle United hauled City to within five
points of Premier League leaders Chelsea, Pellegrini claimed that his
side will be far tougher opponents in 2015.

"It is better because last year we arrived in February after we played
18 games, nine in December and nine in January,"

"Of those 18, we won 16 and drew two. I think we arrived not in our
best moment. It was important also the sending-off of Martin
Demichelis.

"In this year we played less games in January so we will try to
continue in the Champions League," said Pellegrini.
