Bayern is a mess right now. Tuchel is a good manager...but it's going to take him a bit of time to get it going in the right direction. Luckily there is only one real team that will push them for the B'liga title, so he should be able to get it fixed sooner rather than later.

They just need to get rid of Oliver Kahn and they’ll be fine.

They players actually refunded the tickets to all the Spurs fans who traveled to the game. Not sure who is going to pay for their therapy bill. πŸ™‚

Insanity incoming for City...huge amount of matches in a compressed window. Lots of guys dragging right now. One less day to prep for 2nd leg of CL semi because of some goddamn festival in Liverpoo that means they can't play Everton until Sunday.

Gotta rest DeBruyne and Gundo vs the Toffees...Nathan Ake also not fully fit. Some people worried about the treble...FFS, I'll just be happy to win the PL again.

City was knackered vs RM Tuesday. Gonna be a tough, tough 2nd leg.

TBF, they've been knocked out the FA Cup earlier for years and it hasn't yielded results in CL.

Treble means shit to me. I've always said PL is always #1 in my book...that we've persevered to be in a position to win it has been gratifying. Only reason I care about FA Cup is because fuck ManUre.

Haaland or not, we are not built to win CL. Pep doesn't want a deep bench, so when it gets to this point in the season, it hurts us. He has two solid options on the bench...Laporte and Kalvin Phillips...doesn't use either unless it's an emergency. Hats off to RM if they win...Ancelotti is CL GOAT manager...dude just knows how to win it.

We have a chance because it's a punchers chance...being at home means little IMO. Could also see us winning, then losing to Inter in the final. We were a much better team than Chelski a couple years ago...and in a one-game winner take all, all it took was a Kyle Walker mistake to lose it. Wouldn't trade Pep for anyone.

Gotta say, Courtois is the best keeper in the world and it ain't even close. He had 3 saves no one else makes IMO. Unsung heroes were Bernardo and Kyle Walker...KW bossed Vini Jr., Bernardo was able to do the one thing that has plagued so many other City players...finish. He set the tone. He owned Cavaminga.

3 saves on Haaland that defy the laws of physics. That was as dominant a performance I could have imagined. If not for Courtois that is a 10 nil win.

Honestly two of the goals were not his fault. First one he gave up…Bernardo whipped that shot with so much pace no one saves it. Second goal he was out of position, ball bounced to Bernardo for a wide open net. Not his fault.

3rd goal was an own goal…may or may not have saved it if Akanji gets a head on it. Would have been a world class save.

4th goal was kind of an afterthought…defenders were spent, Foden slotted a perfect pass…basically a tap in.

RM just didn’t have the firepower they’ve had in the past. Benzema carried them last year…dunno if it’s age, or he had a knock…he was a non factor in both legs.

Inter will park the bus and pray for a counter. City shoukd win…but they should have beaten Chelski 2 years ago and a Kyle Walker gaffe…just one…cost them the match. Anything can happen…

Yeah, Arsenal "bottled it," but City had no margin for error. We had to win out, and hope they stumbled. Never imagined they'd stumble so many times, however, much like Leicester in 2015, EVERYTHING broke their way in the first 3/4 of the season.

FA Cup would be nice, but the only trophy that matters now is CL. If City can't win it this year, they likely never will. They beat the two strongest teams in the competition soundly...if they can't bury the 3rd placed squad from Cereal A at a neutral location...

Age is getting to DeBruyne...he looks like absolute garbage the last two matches he played in. Hopefully the rest will do him well. Haaland had lots of opportunities vs Real, KDB just couldn't get the ball to him which is rare.

We played like absolute shit but won. We played a much better game two years ago vs Chelski and lost. I'll take the dogshit performance victory all day.

Club will look very different in 2 months. Lots of guys a part of this won't be on the squad. Some rumors swirling Pep gonna hang it up for now. Hard to believe he didn't give Haaland assurances he'd be here a couple years at least.

Hate playing Serie A squads...dirty motherfuckers.
