Overview

Barcelona suffered a setback in their pursuit of defending the La Liga title after suffering a 1-0 defeat away against struggling Real Valladolid. Fausto Rossi's netted the only goal of the game in the 17<sup>th minute to take all the three points for the Juan Martinez's side.

The Catalan giants now sit third in the league table with 63 points, four behind rivals and leaders Real Madrid after 27 matches. In the first leg of the Champions League last-16 tie, Gerardo Martino's side registered a 2-0 victory against City at the Etihad Stadium last month.

Martin Demichelis gifted a penalty to the Spanish champions in the second-half after bringing down Lionel Messi and saw a straight red card. The Argentinean forward made no mistake in converting from the spot in the 54<sup>th minute. Daniel Alves then compounded to the home side's misery by netting his team's second goal late in the game.

Meanwhile, the Citizens were handed another blow in their pursuit of four trophies this season after Wigan Athletic eliminated them in the FA Cup quarterfinal last Sunday. Demichelis was the villain once again as he fouled Marc-Antoine Fortune inside the box. Jordi Gomez converted the resulting penalty to give the defending champions the lead in the first-half.

James Perch then doubled the lead for Uwe Rosler's side early in the second-half. Samir Nasri pulled one goal back in the 68<sup>th minute for the home side but they failed to find a crucial second goal, thus ending their quadruple hopes.

In the Premier League, Manuel Pellegrini's side currently sit fourth in the table with 57 points from 26 matches, trailing leaders Chelsea by nine points who have played three matches more.

What Managers Say

Gerardo Martino: "We made lots of mistakes against Valladolid and that isn't normal for this team. We have to think that ten or 12 days ago, we played a very good match against Manchester City. I don't see why we can't do the same tomorrow and I'm sure we will play well. Every season the players know they have to fight to win a trophy – they know the club and they know what's expected, so I don't need to give them extra motivation."

Ruben Cousillas (Assistant manager): "We were the only [English] team to be alive in four competitions until Sunday. We are still standing in three competitions and we will fight until the last moment and won't settle for a defeat tomorrow. We don't listen to what's said about Barcelona being in crisis. It's difficult to say when we will score a goal because Barcelona are the best team in the world with the best players in the world."
