Don't think that they wanted to get stretched

On the line.

Barca played it conservatively, no doubt about it. A nod to City's attacking threat.

Definitely outside the box. But it's super close if you're viewing it at full speed...can't expect the ref to always get that right.

Yeah the tie is over, but that first half should be fun. City might not play defenders as wingers that go round. They certainly have the offensive players to grab 2 goals on Barca, even if they tiki taka 60+% of possession. Of course them pushing will result in a goal for Barca then it will all be over.
Barca will be very conservative early on I'm sure, but if City can mess around and grab an early goal in the first 15-20 minutes, then it'll be right back to a very interesting tie.
Who knows? With Aguero back I'll give them a 5% chance to advance. Still very unlikely. If they can't put one in early and we get late in the 1st half with no goals, they're toast, as it'll be only a matter of time before Barca puts one after a multitude of counters. But if City gets one early and doesn't have to push forward as hard for the remainder of the match, things could get interesting.
But I agree, it'll be a wide open, fun match.

From what I understand, if the contact continues into the box then it is a penalty. The crucial bit of contact (what actually caused Messi to go down) happened inside the box, though the contact as a whole started just before.

By the way, def outside the box.

Damn.
ETA: It ain't over. City will be healthy and Barca's defending is so sloppy.
Chelsea scored two at the Nou Camp with a much, much worse team and 10 men against a much better Barca team. City can do it.
One thing for sure is if City get the first one it's going to get fun.

For sure. It probably wasn't the right call, but it's so close what can you do.
Kompany says it was there for the taking, and when asked if they were the best team they've faced all season, he responded "not at all."
Posted on 2/18/14 at 3:57 pm to RandySavage
So Kompany said that Barca isn't the best team they played this season.

wtf was he thinking on this offside trap that led to the goal.

Laws of the game do not prohibit penalty being awarded if contact starts outside but continues inside the box. #mcfc #barcelona
apparently the rule isn't particularly clear there (shocker)

Idk really.
He was very active and had a great game otherwise.

I'm watching "Crowd Goes Wild" now. Has Trevor Pryce always talked soccer or are they forcing him to do it now? 
It's awkward either way.

That show is literally terrible.

I stand corrected:
-rules says "if a defender starts holding an attacker outside the penalty area but continues holding inside the area, the referee shall award a pentalty kick.
Interesting it says "shall award" and not "may award"...might be mandatory.
