Glenn Hoddle: 'Barcelona are too good for Manchester City'

Manchester City must change their tactics if they are going to be successful against Barcelona tomorrow night, says Glenn Hoddle.

Former England manager Glenn Hoddle has said that he fears Manchester City will get thrashed by Barcelona in the Champions League tomorrow night.

City trail 2-1 from the first leg and they must win at Camp Nou to have any chance of progressing to the quarter-finals.

Hoddle told Sky Sports News: "They've got to get a result and they are not learning from their lessons. If he [Manuel Pellegrini] goes with two up front, I fear for them. What they've got to do is play more savvy and get runners from midfield, but I wouldn't be surprised if they go with two up front.

"At some stage, they are going to have to go for it and I fear they might get a hammering if they do and when they do, whether it's from the start or at some stage. I think Barca are just too good for them whatever shape they play."

City lost to Barcelona at this stage of the competition last season.
