Pablo Zabaleta: 'Champions League victory over Barcelona not impossible'

Pablo Zabaleta has said that "nothing is impossible" ahead of Manchester City's last-16 second-leg tie against Barcelona.

Man City trail 2-1 after the first leg three weeks ago and visit Camp Nou on Wednesday.

"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," Zabaleta told Sky Sports News.

"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."

Manager Manuel Pellegrini's job is thought to be in danger, following City's Premier League defeat to Burnley last weekend.
