Barcelona - Arab Today

Yaya Toure returned to the Manchester City starting line-up to face his old club Barcelona as the English champions attempt to overturn a 2-1 first leg deficit in their Champions League last 16 tie at the Camp Nou on Wednesday.
Toure missed the first leg through suspension and is one of four changes made by Manuel Pellegrini to the side that started at the Etihad Stadium three weeks ago.
Aleksandar Kolarov and Bacary Sagna replace the suspended Gael Clichy and Pablo Zabaleta at full-back, whilst Fernandinho is paired with Toure in central midfield at the expense of Fernando and Edin Dzeko.
David Silva will play just behind Sergio Aguero in attack as Pellegrini has opted not to go with his much criticised 4-4-2 system against the in-form Spanish giants.
Barcelona make just one change from the first leg as Jeremy Mathieu replaces the injured Sergio Busquets with Javier Mascherano moving into midfield.
The star South American trio of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar all start in attack.
Starting line-ups (1945 GMT kick-off):
Barcelona (4-3-3)
Marc-Andre ter Stegen; Dani Alves, Jeremy Mathieu, Gerard Pique, Jordi Alba; Javier Mascherano, Ivan Rakitic, Andres Iniesta (capt); Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Neymar
Coach: Luis Enrique (ESP)
Manchester City (4-4-1-1)
Joe Hart; Bacary Sagna, Vincent Kompany (capt), Martin Demichelis, Aleksandar Kolarov; Samir Nasri, Fernandinho, Yaya Toure, James Milner; David Silva; Sergio Aguero
Coach: Manuel Pellegrini (CHI)
Referee: Gianluca Rocchi (ITA)
