It would have been 3 -1 if Messi had converted the penalty in injury time. As it is the game ended at 2 -1 with both Barcelona’s goals coming from one supremely happy Luis Suarez.
Martin Demichelis was the only City defender who seemed to know what he was doing.Vincent Kompany was largely responsible for both goals Luis Suarez scored and Gael Clichy put the icing on the cake by getting sent off.
Pablo Zabaleta’s contribution to the defensive mayhem was giving a penalty to Messi.
Pellegrini summed up his team’s day out by saying “We repeat the same mistake as last year.One player sent off. It is very difficult to play against Barcelona with 10.”
What he probably meant and did not say was that they would need at least 14 players playing like they did last night to give Barcelona a game.
