Kompany: We don't fear Barca

Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany claims Barcelona will hold no fear for the Premier League champions this week.City host the Catalan giants in the first leg of their eagerly-anticipated Champions League last-16 tie at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday.City were outgunned by Barca at the same stage of the competition last season, losing 4-1 on aggregate and having players sent off in both legs.
But City go into their latest meeting in good heart after reinvigorating their domestic title defence with a 5-0 thrashing of Newcastle on Saturday.
Barca could still boast world stars Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez in their forward line but Kompany is confident City can stand up to the challenge.
The influential defender said: "The next game is a massive one now and it's one of those - if you have a good day it can be a special night. So we have to prepare and I think everyone is ready for it.
"We don't fear them. You don't go in at this level fearing strikers.
"We want to play against them. It's the fourth time in a year now. There's nothing new to worry us, it's a case of having the whole team at a very high level."
"I think their ability is not about hurting you all game - you can have tougher games when you go to Stoke City - it's about the fact they can decide a game within a second. They have more players than anyone else in the world who can finish games with a touch of magic.
"But I've come into football to play these games. The moment I'm feeling reluctant to play in these games I'm not in the right place. This is what I want."
