Barcelona vs. Manchester City live stream: How to watch online
Barcelona face Manchester City at Camp Nou on Wednesday, Oct.19. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
This is the one we’ve all been waiting for, as Pep Guardiola returns to his old club for the first time as Manchester City manager. He’s been back to Camp Nou before, with Bayern Munich in the Champions League semifinal in 2015. That match ended in a comprehensive 3-0 win for Barcelona, so Guardiola will be hoping for an improvement this time around.
Barcelona were also at their absolute peak then, with Luis Suarez, Neymar and Lionel Messi firing on all cylinders. This time, Messi is coming off an injury. Then agin, he scored just three minutes after coming off the subs bench at the weekend in his first appearance since getting injured, so maybe the time off won’t make any difference.
Barcelona are unquestionably the better team here. They’re only fourth in La Liga at the moment, but their league-best 26 goals should concern a City side that has looked vulnerable at the back all season.

City are going through their first difficult patch of the season, having lost and drawn to Tottenham and Everton, respectively, in their past two league games. It’s unlikely they’ll get back to winning ways at Camp Nou, but a draw would be an excellent result. Top spot in this group will almost certainly go to one of these two teams, and with Barca two points ahead in the standings, a loss for City would probably remove any chance they had of finishing top.
