Manuel Pellegrini won’t be able to communicate with his staff or players during tonight Champions league round of 16 second leg clash with Barcelona at the Camp Nou.

City are 2-0 down going into the game. The boss received the punishment after criticising the Swedish referee Jonas Erikson after their first leg defeat at the Etihad.

This is City's first competitive visit to the Camp Nou but midfielder Yaya Touré, who joined from Barcelona in 2010, and director of football Txiki Begiristain, another Barcelona old boy, will feel at home.

City have eight players signed from the Liga, including Spaniards Javi García, Jesús Navas, Álvaro Negredo and David Silva.

Vincent Kompany has been discussing tonight’s game, Pellegrini’s suspension and their returning strikers.
