Manchester City David Silva says they can still progress to the last eight of the Champions League, despite going to the Nou Camp 2-1 down.
The Blues have been far from their best in recent weeks with the latest set-back at Burnley hardly the best preparation for arguably the biggest game of the season so far.
But Silva believes if Man City can find something close to their best form, the tie is far from over and there is no reason why a victory over Barcelona can’t be achieved.
The 29-year-old said: “Everybody wrote Schalke off before they played Real Madrid but they won 4-3 and could have scored again which would have put them through – nobody predicted that,” said Silva.
“Not many thought PSG could beat Chelsea, especially with only ten men for so long so I know that everything can happen, not only in the Champions League but in every game.
"Everyone is expecting Barca to go through but hopefully we can give a strong performance and we don't have any kind of pressure on us because we are behind and playing away."
Silva: Don't write us off
