Hmmm something doesn’t seem right with this Munich team,yes a team of good players some very good but in context an unknown coach suddenly within a few months has them playing football like that,endless running I’d even go as far as saying they could play another ninety mins against a fully fresh team and play at full tilt,reminds me of Leicester city title win ..
Whilst Barca were bad, Bayern were good. Their pace, strength and ruthless finishing will see to most teams. I hope that we get through Lyon as a game against this lot will be incredible.
It will. We have the energetic lads playing and It’ll be a game. That high line is waiting for Kevin. Raheem’s and Foden’s off the ball movement and prime and ready. That’s if they beat Lyon. Need to be switched on tomorrow to avoid any surprises.

We rarely take our foot off the gas in those situations, our problem is often getting our foot on the gas before we concede a daft goal.We 100% would have taken our foot off the gas at some point.
Make no mistake barca were truly shite, resembled a pub team at times, messi was a disgrace in that second half.

They play such a high line they are definitely beatable. Barca were piss poor tonight.If we beat these then we deserve the trophy. I will always believe. With De Bruyne anything is possible.

Gavin Williamson has reviewed Bayern Win , 1 - 0
It is due to the political side. Presidents are elected for a few amount of time and they need to build a legacy before they leave. Bartomeu clearly planned to win in the short time while Messi is still the best player but it has backfired when their 3 biggest signings are becoming substitutes/loaned out/injured.Massive rebuild at barca. Seems bizarre clubs of that size let their squad age so much.
He’s not Dawn Butler ;-)Ah! It's 3-0 for an abandoned game!
If I were Messi, at 2-6 down I'd shouted something about racism to the ref and marched the team off the pitch!!
Shoddy leadership!

We need to start on the front foot on full gas. If we do we're capable of giving BM an 8-2 drubbing.We rarely take our foot off the gas in those situations, our problem is often getting our foot on the gas before we concede a daft goal.

Most were. No pressing. No fight. Suarez the only one to try. Did Griezmann touch the ball? There was a moment in the first half where Messi pressed their defence looked around him and saw no one close. It was just a shambles the whole night.

I'll bet Bayern wish they'd saved that performance for the semi-final. Difficult to reproduce that against anyone, let alone a team that won't throw in the towel with half-an-hour to go.

I agree, I can’t explain it. They are playing like City in the Centurions season and look unstoppable. How long has Hansi Flick been in charge?
How do they get them off their books, or are the contracts up. They could all do a Bale.They are "skint" because they pay astronomical wages for players who won't be on their wage bill if they rebuild.
Messi alone gets 100 M with all his bonuses and clauses. They will definitely have money but they need to let those players go first.
You can see why they are shit scared of City’s/PSG financial clout

That truly frightened me.I'll bet Bayern wish they'd saved that performance for the semi-final. Difficult to reproduce that against anyone, let alone a team that won't throw in the towel with half-an-hour to go.
This will be a tough one for city. We do not have pacy players out wide to stretch the field therefore davis will be bombing forward all day knowing he can track back. We could use the pace of Sane right about now. Fingers crossed that if we get past Lyon we play one hell of a perfect game against Bayern. We can't play Rodri and Gundogan in midfield together which will make us a bit slow in the midfield. Fernandinho is susceptible to balls over the top. We need a hail mary here, Lord.

BREAKING - Eric García would now like to sign a new contract at Manchester City.
But they score more than everyone else. That's the issue. We'd have to defend for our lives to beat these. They can put 7 past anyone, including us.They play such a high line they are definitely beatable. Barca were piss poor tonight.
