Barça regained winning ways after thrashing Deportivo La
Coruna 4-0 in the league and Wednesday will be his second test height of the
season at the Camp Nou.
A month ago was the first visit to the league runner-up
in Europe, Atletico Madrid. At that meeting, Barça could only draw 1-1 and also
lost to Lionel Messi through injury.
With Messi recovered, Luis Enrique can count again with
his attacking trident, which complete Neymar and Luis Suarez, to measure the
City.
Guardiola already suffered when he led Bayern Munich and
crossed his exequipo in the semifinals of Champions League two seasons ago.
At that time, the German team thrashed Barcelona at the
Camp Nou 3-0, with two goals from Messi and Neymar another and, in the second
leg, Bayern won 3-2, both goals for the Catalans also took the signing of
Brazilian striker.
This will be the fifth time Barcelona and Manchester City
faces are seen in an edition of Champions League. In the previous four (the
qualifying round of the 2013-14 season and 2014-15) the Catalans were imposed.
The Manchester team thrashed at the Etihad Stadium
Borussia Monchengladbach (4-0) in the first round and tied in Glasgow against
Celtic (3-3) in the second.
Four points that place two Barca unbeaten start in this
competition after thrashing at home to Celtic (7-0) and turn the game in
Mönchengladbach (1-2).
The good news for Guardiola is the captain, the Belgian
Vincent Kompany, played a few minutes in the draw with Everton and could be one
of the surprises in an eleven in which back Sergio Aguero, author of six goals
in his last three games Champions.
Luis Enrique, therefore, may align its eleventh gala in
which, so far, will be the most important course for the Catalans game.
