I have to say City probably should have had that penalty to be fair.

What were Otamendi and Stones doing there? Otamendi just gives up and gives him all the time in the world to line up his shot. Stones runs away. Emphatic finish, but City didn't even try to stop him.
Think they were expecting the keeper to go out.

Typical, Shades of the 0-4 vs Everton, another game another stonewall pen not given and the team start sulking and strolling instead of playing. Play the fu**king game and stop feeling sorry for yourselves.

They need another one if they can manage it as I have a feeling City will score in the return leg

Cheeky double bid for Mbappe and Bernando please. Them and Martial would be class.

That is what I am saying. It should have been a pen but Aguero gave the ref the opportunity to book him for a dive.
It's not a pen if you let your fool explicitly hang to force contact, it's like saying Young's dive vs Aston Villa a few years ago is a pen, it's not natural contact and referee's wont give that, rightfully so. Play the game fair and dont try to outsmart it.

That midfield can really be got at.. Yaya is useless and Fernandinho on a yellow.

But if he had carried on running the foul would have been made as well. He made too much of a foul challenge.

Monaco's attack is great. The city backline today is pretty dodgy. They can end it tonight.

:lol:So all our hard work rehabilitating Falcao is finally paying off.
Scoring against City is the least he can do after all the money and rehab we gave him:D

Well, as much as I hate to say it, but the relative strength of the PL looks rather poor given English clubs' performances in Europe yet again. We're actually the only ones holding the flag up high unless Leicester can continue their good CL form, which I doubt.

He dived...It was the correct decision and Sterling's goal was offside...But no-ones mentioning that!
