Completely irrelevant. City are only 'at their best' against pony teams. Any team that gives City a game gets a result against them. Do you think Juve or Barca will be scared of this City team? They will take the game to them and City will shite themselves.

This happens all the time with Baldy teams, they get massively overrated playing shite teams and fall on their arse against the first top team they play. Barcelona or Juventus will win the CL, because Ronaldo or Messi will carry them through it. As long as Ronaldo and Messi are performing one of them will always win the CL.

Simeone needs to move on because he has built the foundations of Atletico but they need a coach to unleash the extreme potential in this team. I swear they are wasting the careers of some of their midfield and attackers.

I agree, they need an OLe type manager. Someone who tells them to just go out and express themselves instead of going out and trying to express the views that their manager has. United have gone gone through that during the transition from Mourinho to Ole.

Atleti staying true to their style. It's shocking that they don't commit more players forward when the game was tied and they needed a goal.

Ronaldo either air humping or doing the degeneration X “suck it” move needs to be a gif. His girl crying and son cheering .. good to be cr7 tonight.

Allegri's subs and gameplan for this game were amazing. He destroyed Simeone

Best manager in the world for me. I think I said that last year either after the Spurs or Real Madrid game that he seems like someone who could give any sort of footballing problem and he'll come up with a plan to solve it. I was surprised that the first reaction on here after the Pep to Juve rumours surfaced wasn't to do everything to get Allegri to United.

Nobody has a clue how to defend a first leg lead. Athletico should have gone for an away goal but obviously you can’t blame them for not. So many comebacks.

feck Ronnie, fair play to him he's 3-5 in the best players ever but he never gave a shit about United. I'd love to knock them out just to see his face after. And most of all I wouldn't fear Juve.

Those that were telling us that there was no way atletico would concede three because look at these amazing stats: biggest cliche in the world but football is played on the pitch, not with numbers.

Could have said the same for us pre 99. They are the best team in Europe and they are the most capable of winning this entire thing.

The only thing worse than Chiellini dive is the false moralism that permeates this topic.

That Juve - A Madrid game was like watching a game coached by Moyesy and Jose.

Your posts throughout this thread have been embarrassing.

What the hell have City done exactly do deserve that praise? Better than Barca or Juve at their best as well? Based on what?

They have a chance to win it obviously but you seem ready to crown them now.:lol:
