Stunned Nasri ready for Barcelona challenge
Date published: 11 March 2014
SAMIR Nasri was almost lost for words to describe Manchester City’s latest FA Cup shocker against Wigan – but believes it provides perfect motivation to play Barcelona.
City crashed 2-1 to the little Latics in the cup yet again on Sunday - an unlikely repeat of last year’s final loss in the last–eight stage.
They now have little time to refocus before they prepare for the huge challenge at the Nou Camp tomorrow.
City take on the Spanish kings in the second leg of their last–16 tie - and need to overturn a 2–0 deficit to reach the quarter–finals.
Asked how he felt about the Wigan result, Nasri said: ‘Hungover. It was a bad performance, we didn’t play well. The big disappointment is that twice now Wigan have beaten us in the FA Cup. It is really difficult to accept.”
