I’ve been looking at their squad and:

KDB - 30 next season
Gudogan - 30
Fernandinho -35
Aguero- 32
Mahrez- 30
Scott Carson - 35
Pep Guardiola - 50

Looking very tired now, how much longer can it last?

They will spend and replace over time. They aren’t going anywhere.

They're really not all that, been saying it for weeks

Fair play to their insane level of consistency but had Liverpool not opened the door for them to challenge for this title then they were going no where. Their defence is brilliant I'll give them that but they lack consistent goal scorers if Sterling isn't at it

There's no such thing when you have an unlimited budget. Liverpool for example can't rebuild in one swoop. City will spend 250m this summer, maybe more.

We need Pep to rant about our pens & the karma gods can get them like they did Pool!

It’s very very unlikely they blow this but lets just hope this triggers a bad patch for them

If they don’t win the CL this year they will never win it under Guardiola,

Didn't realise KDB, Gudogan, Mahrez were that old. They will replace Gudogan easily. Bernardo and Foden are both better than Mahrez. KDB is irreplaceable. They need a striker above all.

Alot of Europe's top remaining CL clubs will be looking at that performance and thinking abit more confident going against them.

What’s the deal with Agüero? I expected him to come on.

As long as Pep's there they will be the best team in the country. If he wanted, he'd break Fergie's record.

Honestly no clue, pretty sure he's done at the club and Pep wants rid of him. Not bringing him on today was the final nail in the coffin imho.

I am surprised that they have had this dominant a season because I don't think they are anywhere close to the Yaya and peak Aguero teams. They have good depth but that attack is not frightening.

KDB pushing 30? Thats reassuring
Not even sure he features in their best team currently. Arguably best player in the division, but City as a unit might just click better without him. United had a similar situation with RVN.

And they will be going for Haaland next, clear favorites as it stands imo.
Good god, i would hate for it to happen.....

Cant believe KDB is almost 30.

They'll just keep buying player after player until they find the right one, like always.

Luckily for them others have stepped up. It's rare you see a CL winning campaign fall on the shoulders of only 2 players as far as finishing is concerned
The main scorers have handle their business. If they don't, you won't be winning it. Sure, the rest can chip in here and there but most of the chances will fall to the furthest forward players and theirs will let them down. Don't know why Pep hasn't figured that out.

Looking tired? They just won like 18 games in a row before they ran into the juggernaut that is Manchester United. I swear this website name should be changed to "kneejerkreactions.net"

Yes they have unlimited money but it’s also harder than it sounds to replace big players. They will struggle to replace the likes of De Bruyne when he eventually slows down. They haven’t really replaced the likes of Silva, Aguero, Yaya, etc. They have had a decent season but let’s be honest the competition has been poor. If we had just a couple more key players we would be pretty close.

They were genuinely bad. If other teams stopped pretending they were peak Barcelona then they would certainly struggle a lot more.

They will be elite as long as Pep’s there. They will remain top 4 certs with the Arabs but won’t be as dominant when Pep goes.
