Sergio Aguero claims the key to Manchester City's famous victory over Barcelona was pretending they were playing a different team.
City finally turned the tables on the Catalan giants after defeats in their five previous Champions League meetings with a memorable 3-1 win at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday.
City finally played to their potential, responding to Lionel Messi's early goal with Ilkay Gundogan strikes either side of a brilliant Kevin De Bruyne free-kick to beat the five-times European champions.
Striker Aguero said of Barcelona: "They're a difficult team, obviously. If you give them the time and the space to think, they will beat you.
"You always have to respect Barca and any team would respect that, but we had to pretend that it wasn't Barca and try to play how we know, and win, which was the most important thing."
