Samir Nasri has claimed that Manchester City need to 'create history' for the sake of their fans by knocking Barcelona out of the Champions League.
The Blaugrana make the trip to the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday evening for the first leg of the glamorous tie.
Nasri told BBC Sport ahead of the match: "We have had a lot of success in the Premier League so fans are really passionate.
"In the Champions League we need to create our history to have this special relationship with the fans, and I think a game like Barcelona can be a big victory between us and the fans in the competition."
Luis Enrique's charges beat City 4-1 on aggregate at the same stage of last year's competition.
