Well, Lyon are.Congrats to Pep for his first Premier League title! He has 3 consecutive with Barcelona and 3 consecutive with Bayern Munchen. Is this the first one from 3 consecutive titles with Manchester City also!? I dont know. One thing is for sure - his team will get better next season. Will the opposition be better ?!

Yup it is. He's having a meltdown after Silva briefed him Courtois banged his wife.Surely that's not De Bruyne's voice?
No thats not from tonight, it was last season I think.Is that actually from tonight? What's going on with De Brain there?
Beating Madrid in the penalties is hardly "wiping the floor". Barcelona didn't even had a coach when they lost 7-0 to them. Heynckes' Bayern might be the most overrated side of the century. The team peaked at that year, it was never destined to win multiple CLsYou mean, the way he transformed Bayern from a side that wiped the floor with Real and Barcelona to a side that had their asses handed to him by those two sides? Oh and that was also beaten by Atletico.

Nothing more overrated than your side winning back to back UCL with offside goals, red cards not given the list goes on.Beating Madrid in the penalties is hardly "wiping the floor".

Chelsea fan talking about overrated CL wins...Nothing more overrated than your side winning back to back UCL with offside goals, red cards not given the list goes on.
Bayern outplayed Real for around 190 of 210 minutes of that tie.Beating Madrid in the penalties is hardly "wiping the floor". Barcelona didn't even had a coach when they lost 7-0 to them.

We've looked the worst in the CL during Pep's era, while having the best players during that time. We looked closer winning the CL last year (probably should've won that tie against you lot) and even under Ancelotti than we had ever under Pep.Beating Madrid in the penalties is hardly "wiping the floor".

That’s nonsense.Bayern outplayed Real for around 190 of 210 minutes of that tie.
Anyways, overrated or not, they reached back-to-back CL finals. Pep could not reach one with them in three years.
Lost to Monaco and Lpool while at City. His brand of football amplifies the gulf in class when he has the superior players but does not work well even against sides of similar man-for-men quality.
Let's see if he can break the pattern, I have no reasons to believe that he can, given how stubborn he is.
That he lost to Monaco and Liverpool is not nonsense, it's a fact.That’s nonsense.
Needs a pep in his stepNeeded to take the line.
You’ve pretty much ignored all his wins against top sides last season or prior and used defeats against Monaco and Liverpool as evidence of the fact that... his style doesn’t work well against sides that boast similar quality. A quick glance through his history would show that claim up as nonsense.That he lost to Monaco and Liverpool is not nonsense, it's a fact.
Regarding the rest of what I wrote, I am waiting for him to prove me wrong. Pardon me for not being overly impressed with winning the CL with a Spain midfield + Messi or with winning the Bundesliga with Bayern. Or with guiding City to their third title in seven years after spending half a billion.
We were lucky in 2012. You are right, but we deserved to win CL in 2005,2006,2008,2009 before so we deserved trophy!Chelsea fan talking about overrated CL wins...
How on earth did you come to that conclusion?We were lucky in 2012. You are right, but we deserved to win CL in 2005,2006,2008,2009 before so we deserved trophy!
Addition of Kyle Walker and Ederson all of a sudden pushes the team to world class status? You'd have thought they're peak Cafu and Yashin. Mendy missed the whole season basically, and Bernardo/Danilo were not even regular starters. Laporte arrived when the PL was more or less already decided.That he lost to Monaco and Liverpool is not nonsense, it's a fact.

I will eat my words if he wins the CL with City. For me, his first season at City exposed his true colors. No world class team, no party.
And which sides would those be? I mean, what are the sides of similar quality of players that he did well against?You’ve pretty much ignored all his wins against top sides last season or prior and used defeats against Monaco and Liverpool as evidence of the fact that... his style doesn’t work well against sides that boast similar quality.

Yes, as they had great quality all over the pitch bar a few positions and that's exactly the sad part. A couple of weak links and boom - it all goes crashing down.Addition of Kyle Walker and Ederson all of a sudden pushes the team to world class status? You'd have thought they're peak Cafu and Yashin.

Essien’s calculator probably.How on earth did you come to that conclusion?
What were Real Madrid while he was at Barcelona? What are Man United, Liverpool (at home), Tottenham, Chelsea... are all those minuscule sides now compared to City?And which sides would those be? I mean, what are the sides of similar quality of players that he did well against?
He had a chance to prove that he could do it with Bayern, but was beaten by all of the three big Spanish sides.
I maintain the stance that City have by far the best squad in England and that Europe is the real big test for him. He had a chance to prove himself against Barcelonas, Reals and PSG's with City, but could not even get past Monaco and Liverpool, two inferior sides. Let's see if he can do it this time and I will gladly eat my words.
So far, all that he has done was to repeat the achievements of managerial greats such as Frank Rijkaard and do it in a way that is a bit more pleasing on the eye.
Which Real Madrid outfield player would get into his Barcelona side?What were Real Madrid while he was at Barcelona? What are Man United, Liverpool (at home), Tottenham, Chelsea... are all those minuscule sides now compared to City?
It’s your prerogative to maintain that standard of CL or bust for Pep, such an argument is pointless to engage in if you think the only test for him is Europe. Lord knows what you must think of Zidane with a star studded Madrid team or our Mourinho with the amount he has spent.
Ouch, that’s a nail in the head buddyChelsea fan talking about overrated CL wins...
No words regards what question / topic?Anyone seen Dimitry Seluk’s twitter feed? No words.
That's only half true:You mean, the way he transformed Bayern from a side that wiped the floor with Real and Barcelona to a side that had their asses handed to him by those two sides? Oh and that was also beaten by Atletico.
Garcia goal in semi final in 2005 didn't cross the line. Liverpool on penalties in 2007 again SF unlucky. Terry slip in Moscow and we hit the post two times in OT, we were all over Utd. Again unlucky.How on earth did you come to that conclusion?
Have a look.No words regards what question / topic?
Im not on Twitter, whats been said?Have a look.
