So then, not too long to go now until tonight's big Champions League game - Manuel Pellegrini's Man City against the mighty Barcelona.
Barcelona are looking to reach an eighth-straight Champions League quarter-final as they bid for a repeat of last season's last-16 win over City.
Pellegrini's team lost both legs at the same stage last time round - defeated 4-1 on aggregate - and are yet to progress to the last eight of the competition.
"It is one of the games of the year, the most important until now," said Barcelona centre-back Gerard Pique.
It is going to be a cracker. Kick off is 19:45 GMT - and don't forget, there is commentary on BBC Radio 5 live and live text on the BBC Sport website
