MANCHESTER, England -- Kelechi Iheanacho began his month-long stint as Sergio Agueros replacement by scoring Manchester Citys equalizer in a 1-1 draw against Celtic in a Champions League game carrying little significance on Tuesday.Iheanacho drove a rising shot into the roof of the net in the eighth minute to cancel out a fourth-minute goal by winger Patrick Roberts, who is four months into his second straight season-long loan at Celtic from City.The result mattered little since City was already sure of finishing in second place in Group C while Celtic had no chance of avoiding a last-place finish. The group ended with City on nine points -- six behind Barcelona -- and Celtic on three points from six games.The 20-year-old Iheanacho started in a young, makeshift City lineup and will likely stay up front for the English team this month. Aguero is suspended for the next four Premier League games following his red card against Chelsea on Saturday, his second sending-off of the season.The Nigeria striker proved a handy back-up for Aguero during the Argentines first ban this season, scoring three goals in three games, and came into this match with 12 goals in 17 starts for City.Make that 13 in 18 after he raced onto Nolitos ball behind the defense, took one touch and planted a shot high past Celtic goalkeeper Craig Gordon.I have the responsibility to be striker for the team now, Iheanacho said. I have to prove myself and get the goals for the team.With nothing on the line in terms of qualification, City included two 19-year-olds -- Pablo Maffeo and Tosin Adarabioyo -- in defense for their Champions League debuts alongside Bacary Sagna in the unusual position of center back.That defense endured a wobbly start and conceded a sloppy goal, even if it was well-taken by Roberts. Leroy Sane couldnt control City goalkeeper Willy Caballeros pass out from the back and Roberts picked the ball up on the right wing, jinked inside two defenders before placing a shot past Caballero into the corner.Iheanacho had a flicked shot saved, Nolito had a goal disallowed and Sane fired just wide from a free kick, but Celtic also troubled City at the other end in an open game at Etihad Stadium.Celtic had the better of the chances in the second half, and City was thankful for a save by Caballero from substitute Gary Mackay-Steven late on.City has qualified for the knockout stage for the fifth straight season and will discover its last-16 opponent on Monday. Asked how he felt after a group-stage campaign in which City won two of its six games, Guardiola said: Were in the (last 16) my friend. We will see in February how we are.Guardiola has never failed to reach the semifinals of the Champions League in past spells in charge of Barcelona and Bayern Munich.

MANCHESTER, England -- Its hard enough to compete with Barcelona with 11 men. With 10 players, its pretty much impossible.Doesnt Manchester City know it.City has played Barcelona five times in the last four seasons in the Champions League and ended a game with a full complement of players only once. Its one of the main reasons City has lost all five of those games.Ahead of the latest meeting, in Manchester on Tuesday, City manager Pep Guardiola has impressed on his players the importance of keeping discipline and a cool head.You have to learn, Guardiola said Monday. (Former City manager) Manuel (Pellegrini) lived through that, sometimes they were unfair, the last time it was from a mistake. But at that level, its impossible to achieve your targets (with 10 men).Its football, and football is a game of mistakes.The roll call of red cards are as follows: Martin Demichelis (professional foul) and Pablo Zabaleta (two bookings) in the last 16 in the 2013-14 campaign; Gael Clichy (two bookings) in the last 16 in the 2014-15 campaign; and Claudio Bravo (deliberate handball outside the box) in a 4-0 loss in the group stage two weeks ago.The dismissals can be put down to a number of factors -- the pressure of the occasion, the difficulty of handling elusive players like Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar, and simple brain freezes as with Bravo when he compounded his error of misplacing a pass outside the area by blocking a return shot by Suarez.Individual errors are part of football, Barcelona coach Luis Enrique said. Its difficult to evaluate whether or not these are one-off errors or its because the other team (Barcelona) pressured them.But I think the (4-0) result didnt really reflect the way the match went.City has had its disciplinary issues this season. Aside from Bravos red card, Sergio Aguero was handed a retrospective three-matcch ban for elbowing West Ham defender Winston Reid in a Premier League game, and Nolito also got a three-match suspension for aiming a head-butt at Bournemouth defender Adam Smith in the league.ddddddddddddNolito could have been shown a red card on Saturday for a similar offense, too, when he motioned his head toward Craig Dawson during Citys 4-0 win at West Bromwich Albion in the Premier League. Nolito was yellow-carded, and may have been saved by Dawsons reaction in not falling to the ground.I had no intention to hurt any other player, Nolito said Monday, (but) I have to show and set an example for children and other players. Hopefully it wont happen again.Before Bravos sending-off in the 53rd minute at the Camp Nou, City played well, created chances and was perhaps unfortunate to be behind 1-0. With 10 men, City unraveled and Messi completed another Champions League hat trick.It follows 2-1 and 2-0 losses for City in 2014, and 2-1 and 1-0 losses in 2015.Guardiola said City will have to play almost perfectly to beat Barcelona and keep qualification in the teams own hands.I think we know what we have to do to beat them, and they know us, Guardiola said. We will try it again ... I have never entered a match thinking we cant win.Luis Enrique expects Guardiola, his former teammate for Barcelona and Spain, to make some tweaks in personnel or tactics.I sense there will be changes, he said. We know Pep and we know his ideas. We have to be very attentive to what they do. He will try to touch the correct key to get the right result. I love his philosophy, I love his ideas.I dont think they can be any more aggressive in terms of pressure, Luis Enrique added. They were pressing us up to the stand (at Camp Nou). ' ' '
