One lesson learned by Lescott from the Champions League final when Manchester United beat Barca's Messi is the skill will be very difficult unstoppable. Even he would let the other teammates to keep Messi, than he who must carry out the task.
"We need to avoid them. I saw their match and I must be honest if their game is amazing, probably the best team I've ever seen throughout my career as a professional player," said Lescott.
"If we have to face them in the preliminary round then I'll leave the task of escorting Messi to Nigel De Jong or Vincent Kompany."
City can finally compete in the Champions League next season since the last time they competed at the same event in 1968. Where many rules are changed compared with the time.
Due to lack of competing in the Champions League will cause the City are in pot four, or an underdog team in this competition. Hence their chance to be in a group with Barcelona is huge.
