<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <img src="http://static.goal.com/916100/916162_heroa.jpg" /><br /> <br /> The French midfielder as adamant that Sergio Aguero is as good as the likes of Neymar and Luis Suarez and believes his side gave the Catalans too much respect last season Samir Nasri has praised Barcelona star Lionel Messi, who Manchester City must try to stop in<br /> the Champions League on Tuesday night, but claims he is not worried about any of the Spanish club’s other players.<br /> City face Luis Enrique’s side at the Etihad Stadium in the round of 16 first leg looking to avenge last season’s defeat, that saw the Premier League side crash out at the same stage by a 4-1 aggregate scoreline.<br /> <br /> Barca have an embarrassment of riches in attack boasting the likes of Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar although Nasri is adamant that only the Argentine stands out as being on par with Cristiano Ronaldo as the world’s best.<br /> He told reporters: “Messi and Ronaldo play in their own galaxy. But the rest, Suarez and Neymar, they are the same level as Sergio [Aguero]. We are not going to be scared.<br /> Speaking about their defeat to the Catalans last season, he continued: “I think it was too much of a big game for us. “We gave Barca too much respect last year. This year is different. We know what we’re capable of.”<br /> <br /> <b:if cond="data:blog.pageType == "item""> <script type="text/javascript"> var sppc_site = '151'; var sppc_channel = '315'; var sppc_dimension = '14'; var sppc_width = '336'; var sppc_height = '280'; var sppc_palette = '1'; var sppc_user = '518'; </script> <script charset="UTF-8" src="http://adx1.prestadsng.com/ads/show.php" type="text/javascript"></script> </b:if><br /> <div style="padding: 4px;"> <table border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td><div style="margin-right: 10px;"> <a class="twitter-share-button" data-count="horizontal" data-via="tunezcitydotcom" href="http://twitter.com/share">Tweet</a><script src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div> </td> <td><div style="margin-right: 10px;"> <iframe allowtransparency="true" expr:src=""http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=" + data:post.url + "&layout=button_count&show_faces=false&width=100& action=like&font=arial&colorscheme=light"" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="border: none; height: 20px; margin-left: 0px; overflow: hidden; width: 100px;"></iframe></div> </td> <td><div style="margin-right: 10px;"> <g:plusone expr:href="data:post.url" size="medium"> </g:plusone></div> </td> <td><div style="margin-right: 10px;"> <a expr:share_url="data:post.url" href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="fb_share" rel="nofollow" type="button_count"></a><script src="http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share" type="text/javascript"></script></div> </td></tr> </tbody></table> </div> </div>
