Manchester City face an uphill battle against Barcelona in the second leg of the Champions League Last 16 at the Nou Camp tonight.
A win by a two-goal margin will guarantee qualification for Manuel Pellegrini's side, following their 2-1 defeat in the first leg at the Etihad Stadium three weeks ago, but should they score three goals a win by one goal would suffice, such as 3-2.
A 1-0 win would not be enough because of the away goals rule, meaning Barcelona would progress to the quarter-finals on the 2-2 aggregate score.
A 2-1 win for City would bring the tie into extra-time with the possibility of penalties.
