Modric is 36 and outpaced De Bruyne, meanwhile 33 year old Matic can only play once every 3 weeks

Guys does anyone know why the stadium has an empty patch on the sides?

Wow Modric... may be he doesnt have a back injury like Rashford to chase the ball like that.

A question for you , my son just asked.
City's first CL or Liverpool's 7th ?
Easily LFC’s 7th - we ain’t catching up on them anytime soon anyway and there’s less difference between 6 and 7 wins than between 0 and 1. Also how sweet it is seeing Pep fail again for ca. tenth time in a row when he enters the competition with the strongest team and still doesn’t manage to win it.

No English team is winning CL this season though.

Might also result in Pep fecking off which is a thing we want.
Wouldn’t you prefer us to win the league under ETH with Pep still as city manager? And Klopp at pool?

It’s far more satisfying, and impressive to boot.

I think it takes a lot a way from winning the title again if we only manage to do it once those two have departed.

Yeah I feel like saying this when people wank over the threepeat team. It’s an amazing thing to win 3 in a row, but it was a feat of mentality more than anything. They never played good football, and I definitely wouldn’t have them in the conversation of best ever.
I don't know how they did it. It was the luckiest run I've ever witnessed, in the KO stages during that run it seemed like the other team would almost always either get someone sent off/out injured or miss a boatload of chances while Ronaldo needed one chance to score twice. God is definitely a Real Madrid supporter.

City lack pace to counter attack.
They never replaced Sane’s pace.

I love Spanish teams fopping about angrily after rightly not being awarded a free kick when they go down for no reason.

Always felt the Sane Sterling wide attackers was their most aesthetically pleasing era under Pep too
