Today’s Football 2019/20 Season

[Borussin]

Wow, well played Lyonnais, and great to see Man City will still not win the CL.

Saying all that...Lyons 2nd goal shouldn't have stood.

 

[Big Sams Undies]

Pep always overthinks these Champions League ties. World's best manager but tonight is on him, gotten it totally wrong.

Is he really though?

Inherited a Barcelona side that were already superb.

Inherited Bayern who were European champions and in a totally uncompetitive league.

Inherited a City side with unlimited funds and no real sustained competition during his time in England.

 

[Tea_drinker]

Man City only bought the league cup this year then.

Saved city from a Bayern bumming

Genuinely think Man United will challenge Liverpool next season

Fernandes stays fit and they go with Henderson rather than De Gea and I agree with you. Also if they don't spend idiot money on Sancho.

And should VAR have ruled out Lyons 2nd for either offside or a foul on Laporte I think it was?

 

[zukai12_]

Strange line up a d formation from Pep

Why not stick to the 4 3 3?

We may never know

 

[DOMNOLAN]

Was VAR working? I’m confused as to why Lyon’s second goal was allowed?

 

[ToffeeTim]

Genuinely think Man United will challenge Liverpool next season

Maybe not next year but they will challenge again soon. A strong Liverpool will provoke them to improve.

While we'll flounder in self pity at them being better than us and do nothing about it.

Uefa have their revenge

Yep, poor decision. Yes it may have been accidental but he tripped him

That Barcelona side were not superb - in fact the previous utter humiliation (before last night) was the 4-0 where they had to give Real Madrid a guard of honour at the Bernabeu before kick off, and then proceeded to get absolutely and utterly ruined. It was that bad that when they realised they'd have to do it a lot of the then stars (Deco, Eto'o) got themselves banned so they wouldn't have to do it.

He had a lot to turn around there.

All I'll say to those sleeping on Ake is just wait

He's darn good, been saying it since before he joined Bournemouth

He’ll start about 6 games next season.

Pep’s selection was rubbish but that VAR decision was shocking. Decent refereeing and Sterling tapping in and City win easily. They’ve got a mental block on this comp.
