Neymar takes a corner that goes straight out before even reaching the goal :lol: Nani would be proud.

Nkunku failing to impress so far. Had at least 3 good chances and was just too short to get to the ball.

The commentators on BT Sport keep talking about Dortmund playing extremely defensively as if they're parking the bus, when that's not really been the case? Of course City have somewhat more possession, but Dortmund have looked fairly comfortable in possession too at times with some decent passing.

They are defending well when city have the ball, everyone gets back. They'll tire themselves out doing it though.

Yeah, he's actually doing nothing here, if Rashford or Ronaldo was putting in this performance our fans would be calling for their heads.
Well he scores a lot of goals. No one would be slaughtering our players if they would stand at 10 league goals already.....

Spoiler: City didn't buy him for the nice passes and his defensive work

Someone needs to dig up that Grealish thread to show how overrated Grealish was in 20/21. It was the most bizzare thing I've seen on the caf in a while. There was that gem of a comment where he was even called the English Ronaldinho.

City with Sterling and G.Jesus we’re so much better than this.
They now have a Norwegian Lukaku upfront and are much more predictable.

Think we will enjoy playing against this City defence. Just need the midget and the Scot to keep Haaland and De Bruyne quiet.

This City-Dortmund game is pretty boring to watch, might switch to the trillion front 3 game.

Riyad Mahrez needs to feck off the pitch and be a lazy cnut somewhere else. Disgrace tonight.

Sterling is too wide. He shouldnt be used as a winger and needs to get on the end of these chances because no one else is

He might never play another game and Messi wouldn’t catch him imo
Agree with that, no way Messi catches him ever.

But knowing how precious this record is to Cristiano, he must feel some discimfort seeing Messi on scoresheet.
