Toure: City can be as good as Barca

Yaya Toure believes Manchester City will prove they are worthy of a place in the European elite this season.

Toure joined City from Champions League winners Barcelona last summer and, after a promising first season that saw Roberto Mancini’s side finish fourth in the Barclays Premier League, the midfielder now expects to see the Eastlands club operating at a similar level to the Spanish giants.
