Is that their worst ever bench? Who the feck are they
Lots of injured guys: Ramos, Hazard, Benzema, Valverde, Marcelo, Carvajal, Odriozola so the bench is crowded with Castilla players

One thing I've noticed when I watch City: when their opponets manages to get a foot on the ball and block or intercept, the ball magically bounces in favour of city and they regain possession. It happened in their game versus us, and I wonder if it's a due to Guardiola's tactics. Maybe he positions his players to always be prepared for loose balls, and trains his players really hard to regain possession quickly if they lose it. Either way, it's fecking annoying.

Man, these City lads sure do know how to kick a football, 5 minutes in can only see one winner!

Good players can do that, it’s a trick they have. City are very good at it.

Seems like the Gladbacher Borussia has found its footbing a bit after 10 minutes.

Why do UEFA have such a hard on for Real Madrid and Barcelona?

I don't see how you can call that an obvious goalscoring opportunity. A yellow would have been fair.

Celtic, Barca
They are honestly the jammiest team in the CL, all sorts of things just seem to fall into their lap. :yawn:
