The MUEN reported yesterday that City haven't yet clinched top spot in the group. Seeing as City are 3 points ahead of Dortmund with a better head to head this is incorrect irrespective of tonight's results.

"Manchester City find themselves in a luxurious position heading into their last Champions League group stage match of the season.

Although top spot is not yet secured in Group G, a major collapse from the Blues against Sevilla is the only way they would be prevented from facing a second-placed qualifier in the round of 16."

These are the criteria in order for clubs level on point at the group stage.

UEFA Champions League criteria for clubs level on points

1. Points in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
2. Goal difference in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
3. Goals scored in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
4. Away goals scored in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
5. Goal difference in all group matches;
6. Goals scored in all group matches;
7. Away goals scored in all group matches;
8. Wins in all group matches;
9. Away wins in all group matches;
10. Disciplinary points (red card = 3 points, yellow card = 1 point, expulsion for two yellow cards in one match = 3 points);
11. UEFA club coefficient

The MUEN (bar Stuart Brennan) are mentally disadvantaged.

I'm sure that Sevilla side is actually the Irish squad.
Jordan and Delaney in midfield and Bono in goal

It could give them the edge...

 

[JewelZee]

That turncoat **** Delaney plays for Denmark. I would love to see one of our lads leave one on him tonight. Not enough to injure, just to give him a few sore days.

So he's in the Declan Rice/Grealish club?

 

[aguero93:20]

Not quite, they should go one circle lower in hell.

 

[James2401125]

Better be a lightshow for our hard work going tonight

 

[stonerblue]

I'd like a game, 59 year old ....was a bit of a Mike Summerbee type winger in my younger days.

What times kick off?
When you get here..

 

[OntarioBlue]

This a toughie. I am in South Manchester and it’s windy and pissing down. I have to leave at 6 if I’m going but I dont want to get soaked.

What to do ?

 

[Blue Maverick]

I watched the last episode, series one of Ted Lasso last night and it had us actually scoring a well taken penalty, made me realise it wasn’t real life.

They’ve just been filming an episode of Lasso at City a few weeks ago.

 

[MCFC1993]

The weather is fucking awful, pissing it down and strong winds.

 

[urban genie]

weathers shite, we have won the group, Pep will play the reserves, as it's a cup game bound to be annoying kids or numpties in the regulars seats around me

feeling very unmotivated to go as I trudge out of work into hard rain and winds

will still be there though.

 

[mexico1970]

I am getting all dressed up for the weather, it's going to be an adventure tonight that's for sure.

 

[Sheik Battle and Goal]

It could give them the edge...

Not you too at the puns as well.
