The CL is a glorified FA Cup set to music

Always amuses me when the cameras focus on a proper original loyally-supported-through-the-shitty years City fan in the crowd winning trophies and tournaments at Wembley and the like. Even after a few years dominance, they still look like a disbelieving tramp at an aristocrat's wedding reception.
Long may this continue, if the alternative is a closed shop for these aristocrats.

Our team was so full of midgets back then that it became a meme.

Messi, Villa, Pedro, Xavi, Iniesta, Alves, and Mascherano were all 5’9 or shorter.
But they were probably the best team that ever played...or one of the best ever.

It really tells you something. Being a tall isn't an advantage in football at all. I don't know why coaches reject young players for their stature. I remember Scholes and Griezmann getting told they were to short to play football when they were young.

It's also interesting that Guardiola's teams are almost always short
