Kevin De Bruyne insists Manchester City 'do not fear' Barcelona ahead of crucial Champions League clash

Kevin De Bruyne has insisted that Manchester City do not fear Barcelona and expressed his happiness to be back playing after recovering from a hamstring injury.

City are without a win in their last three matches ahead of their clash with the Spanish giants on Wednesday but De Bruyne said his City team-mates are not afraid of the prospect of facing Lionel Messi and Co.

Pep Guardiola's men drew 1-1 with Everton on Saturday but the Belgian playmaker, who saw his first half penalty saved by Maarten Stekelenburg, does not think his side played badly against Ronald Koeman's men.
