Zabaleta: We Should Attack Barca
City right back Pablo Zabaleta says City need to attack Barcelona in tonight's Champions League last 16 clash.
The 29 year old who signed from Espanyol in the summer of 2008 says City cannot afford to change their attacking style in tonight's game and need to take the game to Barcelona. "It's important we stick to our game, that we go on the attack because we have attacking players," said Zabaleta.
"For this group it's something new, something important to be able to play against a big team like Barca and it's important we enjoy it,"
"It's a special match because we know we will be coming up against one of the best teams in the world. For us it's a very important match."
This will be the first competitive meeting between these two sides.
