Manchester City Prepare for Barcelona and Must Improve on the European Stage

While Manchester City fans might not be overly taken with the UEFA Champions League, the club and its players would certainly like to start making waves in the competition.

Supporters were originally enthused to see the European elite visiting the Etihad to take on their side—but the idea became a little stale over time.

It began with perceived injustices from the competition's governing body, UEFA. Fans weren't impressed with the club being fined for breaching Financial Fair Play Regulations, while issues over dealing with matters of racism involving matches with FC Porto and CSKA Moscow only added to the frustrations.
