The Argentina captain says he is looking forward to the Champions League last 16 after Barcelona were drawn against Manchester City again
Lionel Messi says he is eagerly looking forward to facing Sergio Aguero when Barcelona take on Manchester City in the Champions League last 16.
The English champions were paired with Luis Enrique’s side in Monday’s draw for the second season in a row, with Barca emerging as 4-1 aggregate victors in last term’s encounter.
Messi admits he is excited for the clash in early 2015 – especially as it will pit him against Argentina team-mate Aguero.
“Looking forward to playing in the next round of the Uefa Champions League. It’ll be really nice to face my friend Sergio Aguero as I always beat him at FIFA, but let’s see what happens on the pitch,” he wrote on his official Facebook page.
Con muchas ganas de jugar la eliminatoria de Champions. Será muy lindo poder enfrentarme a mi amigo el Kun. En el FIFA siempre le gano, así que vamos a ver que pasa en la cancha.

City, meanwhile, went through behind Bayern Munich after their crucial 2-0 win over Roma.
