Man City's David Silva not giving up hope of beating Barcelona to CL quarters

David Silva believes that Manchester City can get a result at the Camp Nou and qualify for the quarter-finals of the Champions League at the expense of Barcelona.

Manchester City playmaker David Silva has insisted that he and his teammates are capable of causing an upset against Barcelona in their crucial Champions League last-16 second leg at the Camp Nou tomorrow.

Two goals from Luis Suarez in Barca's 2-1 triumph over City at the Etihad Stadium in the first leg have given the Spanish giants the edge heading into the decider.

However, Silva has drawn on recent shock results, including Paris Saint-Germain's progression at the expense of Chelsea last week, to highlight that City still have a chance.

"Not many thought PSG could beat Chelsea, especially with only 10 men for so long, so I know that everything can happen, not only in the Champions League but in every game," Sky Sports News quotes Silva as saying.

"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."

City head into the match on the back of a 1-0 defeat to Burnley.
