"Manchester City" defender from Ivory Coast Yaya Toure believes that the Spanish champions "Barcelona" fear the English club, which "after a few years will be the most powerful team on the planet." Remember, that Manchester and Barcelona teams met in the same pair in the UEFA Champions League knockout round matches.
"Sometimes it takes a little longer to create history. I am a happy man because I am in the right team, where recently arrived amazing players. Everything is done properly, I guarantee it, and I can assure you that after a few years "Manchester City" will be the most powerful club on the planet," said the defender who moved from "Barcelona" to England in 2010.
This season Y. Toure is one of the most important players for the "Citizens", having already scored nine goals in the Premier League. Meanwhile, Manchester club is currently in third place after 17 rounds.
"I think that 'Barcelona' is afraid of us, they see how we play in the Premier League, especially at our stadium, so they are definitely afraid of us. We play fantastic football and score a lot – everything is based on attacks. However, these will be very difficult matches for us, we know that in order to win, we will have to play top-level football," said Y. Toure.
"Manchester City" is currently just one point behind the leading clubs "Arsenal" and "Liverpool" in the Premier League. In 17 matches, the "Citizens" have already scored 51 goals – the most in the Premier League.
In the Champions League, this team scored 18 goals, and only Madrid's "Real" scored more (20 goals).
