"The team played with courage, with personality, and tried to draw the match with 10 men" Manuel Pellegrini After a goalless first half Manuel Pellegrini's side had to play for most of the second period with 10 men following the dismissal of Martin Demichelis for a foul on Lionel Messi in the 53rd minute. The Argentina international picked himself up to beat Joe Hart from the penalty spot and despite a valiant display by City, who came close to producing an equaliser through David Silva, Gael Clichy and Samir Nasri, the visitors dealt a savage blow by scoring a second in the last minute through Dani Alves. The result was har...
