for a second year in succession on Wednesday night, losing the second
leg at the Nou Camp 1-0.
Manchester City manger Manuel Pellegrini says Barcelona team is the best team in the world according to his own believe, Barcelona knock out Manchester City on a 3- 1 aggregate Man City will have to focus only on the Premier League which they are 6 point behind league leader Chelsea who were also knock out by PSG, now the two English team will have to face it out in the EPL with Chelsea been tipped for the trophy.
"Well I think that Barcelona never give up. Of course it's difficult because we are six points behind Chelsea in the Premier League, but we have nine games more to play. It's very important to focus our mind now just on the Premier League. I repeat, it was a very difficult.... stage of Champions League. Barca is for me the best team of the world, because they have the best player, that's Barcelona.

City had goalkeeper Joe Hart to thank for keeping the scoreline respectable after Ivan Rakitic finished off a pass from Lionel Messi in the 31st minute to put Barcelona ahead on the night.
Despite being outplayed over the two legs, Sergio Aguero squandered a glorious chance to get the visitors back into the tie when his 78th minute penalty was saved by Marc-Andre ter Stegen.
As it was, Barcelona won 3-1 on aggregate and the four-time former European champions reached the quarter-finals of the competition for a record eighth season in succession.
