Zabaleta: Beating Barcelona is not impossible for Manchester City
Pablo Zabaleta insists "nothing is impossible" as Manchester City aim to beat Barcelona at Camp Nou and reach the last eight of the Champions League.
City travel to the Catalan capital on Wednesday needing to overturn a 2-1 first-leg deficit if they are to reach the quarter-finals of Europe's elite club competition for the first time.
Manuel Pellegrini's men were completely outplayed by Barcelona at Etihad Stadium and have since tasted defeat against Liverpool and Burnley.
Saturday's shock 1-0 loss at Turf Moor dented City's hopes of retaining the Premier League title but Zabaleta believes a positive result in Barcelona can kick-start their season.
"We are going to play against one of the best teams in the world. It's not going to be easy, but nothing is impossible in football," the Argentina international told reporters.
"You have to be ready for these moments. Things can change on games like this. You just have to move on to the next game and try to win it. That's what football is.
"It's good that the game [comes after] just three days. We need to recover well, go to Barcelona and see what we can do. Hopefully we can do it."
