Dunno. Bitterness. Jealousy. Most of these sides are made up of foreign players.
Except Bodo lol. They are the exception left.

Lucky that O’Rielly missed

Marc Guehi hasnt had much of an impact on the City defence has he. I thought he'd make them a lot more solid at the back tbh
Donnarumma having a Kinsky of a game here

The mendacious hubris of those peddling the "product".
Sky, TNT, the print media all falling over themselves to anoint "our league" as the best in the world for their own naked self interest. It's a lot easier to charge extortionate subscriptions and inflated ticket prices for "the product" if it has this kind of propaganda behind it that is then vindicated on the field of play. And then there's the weird "pride" taken by some in what is, as you say, a collection of foreigners drawn to the league purely for financial reasons. You know, like the ecomomic immigrants so many of the same people are furiously engaged in keeping out.
For what it's worth, I think the Premier League is, on balance, probably the best league in the world. It doesn't always have the very best players in the world - they still tend to play, primarily, in Spain - but it has the best overall standard. It's a globalised league, with foreign owners, managers, players, and, yes, fans. But it's also the spawn of often extreme capitalism. To see the Super 6 crash and burn, by and large, this week should gladden the hearts of anyone who wants a more competitive competition and less inequality across the continent.
Ironically I think the first challenge by the defender was a pen, and Donnarumma’s challenge wasn’t. Evened out.
Even if the keeper brushes him there, I think the second an attacker sticks his legs together and leaves them hanging back it should be automatic dive. Zero times that is how the human body actually reacts to contact.

Could be a turning point that save
City need two goals though IMO

Went down very easily, glad it was saved. Would have had more chance of scoring by going round him rather than taking a pen at Donnarumma

Bayern look a level above everyone but I’d fancy Arsenal to beat them in a one off game if that’s the final
