Match Preview / Previa del Partido

Barcelona is welcoming Manchester City to their Stadium, "The Camp Nou", for this game that will be a very good one to witness!

Pep Guardiola, the DT of Manchester City, wants to get a victory very bad in the stadium that witnessed him being born as a world icon by winning 14 titles in 4 seasons and by making one of the best teams in football history!

Current Standings for Group C

---

Barcelona

With Lionel Messi fully recovered from his injury, Barcelona will count on Messi as much as possible in this match against Manchester City!

Barcelona is in a great position as they stand at the top of the Group C with 6 points and also, they've just won their last domestic league game against Deportivo La Coruña with a 4-0 score!

Barcelona which is managed by Luis Enrique has defeated Manchester City in their last four matches played; although, none of the games were against Pep Guardiola, whom as we all know, is the mastermind behind the actual game style of Barcelona and will surely be a more difficult rival to beat in comparison to the former City's DT, Pellegrini.

Con Lionel Messi recuperado de su lesión el Barcelona contara con toda su plantilla para hacerle frente al Manchester City en casa.

El equipo se encuentra en gran forma ya que encuentran en el tope de la tabla con 6 puntos y vienen de obtener una formidable victoria en casa contra el Deportivo La Coruña con un marcador de 4-0.

El equipo dirigido por Luis Enrique ha logrado imponerse al Manchester City en sus últimos 4 enfrentamientos de Champions League, aunque ninguno de ellos fue en contra de Pep Guardiola quien como todos sabemos es el arquitecto del actual estilo de juego del Barcelona y será un rival más difícil de vencer que el anterior técnico del City, Pellegrini.

Manchester City

The visiting team, Manchester City will arive at "The Camp Nou" with only one mission and that misson is to get the victory and move up to first place in the division! Pep Guardiola, Manchester's DT, plans to use this match as a turning point in order to retake the winning path to silence his haters. We must remember that "Pep" is a great manager with lots of experience and he has reached the semi-finals the last 3 seasons in the UEFA Champions League!

Pep won many of titles with Barcelona and he hopes to carry that over to his new team, Manchester City. Currently, he stands in first place in the premier league table for titles; with that being said, we are sure that he will line up his team to get a victory! This time, Barcelona won't be the clear favorite to get the victory. This will be a very even match.

El equipo visitante llega con la misión de arrebatarle el liderato del grupo al equipo de casa Barcelona.
A pesar de no llegar en buena forma debido al empate que consiguieron con el Celtic en la última fecha y posteriormente haber perdido un partido y empatado el siguiente en su liga domestica, Pep Guardiola planea usar este partido para retomar la senda ganadora y callar a sus detractores.

Debemos de recordar que a pesar de estos últimos resultados desfavorables Pep es un gran técnico con mucha experiencia en esta competición, alcanzando 3 semifinales en las últimas temporadas, sin contar las victorias que alcanzo con el Barcelona, además se encuentra en el puesto más alto de la tabla en la Premier League, dicho esto estamos seguros que su equipo dará el máximo para obtener un resultado favorable y mejorar su situación actual.
Barcelona no es el claro favorito para llevarse la victoria, será un partido muy equilibrado.

How to Play

• Vote on the main post to enter the bet (main post rewards will also be added to the Stake Pool).

• Cast your Vote Bet on ONLY ONE outcome for which you bet on for the win (Multiple comment votes will be automatically disqualified by the script, unvote and revote counts as multiple votes and will be disqualified).

• After 24 hours, the post and related game comments payout to the pool; remember 25% voters rewards are deducted from the total post payout value first as per Steem curation rules. Voters are rewarded in standard fashion in proportion to their Steem Power holdings.

The Stake Pool:

• The remaining 75% of the total payout is paid out in 50% Steem Power and 50% in liquid currencies, the latter now varies in payout ratio after the new fork. To make the process less complicated, we have decided to use all paid out SBD to buy Steem in the internal market to create a grand total Steem Stake Pool.

• 30% of the Stake Pool will be retained, of which 15% will go to the writer/sports presenter of the post, and the 15% balance towards editing, development and advertising.

• 70% of the Stake Pool will be held until the event/game outcome is determined.

• Once the winning outcome is determined, we will execute a proprietary developed script that will divide and pay out the Steem rewards equally, using the Power Up method, to Mass Distribute SP to all participants that voted on the main post as the entrance fee as well as voted on the correct comment representing the winning outcome.

• Only participants with a Reputation of 35 or more will qualify to earn SP rewards, but non-qualifiers can still vote and comment in support of the redistribution initiative.

• Entry cut-off time is the earlier of the post payout or the start of the event.

• @steemsports in the unlikely event that when the Stake Pool is divided up between the winners and the nomenclature resolution goes below the third decimal place (example: 0.0001), then Steem decimal restrictions won’t allow a payout and the pool will carry over to the next game.

• Please vote responsibly :).
