Was written in the stars - Ilkay #8 secures 8th top flight title for City!

Atleti maybe could have planned on attacking Cancelo on the left as the least sturdy of our defenders, but targetting Ake seems unlikely. He just gave no quarter, shut it all down.

City defense was spot on, Cancelo dawdled on the ball once and lost possession near our goal but otherwise they were totally focused. Rodri and Gundo both a bit loose w/passing and the attack generally had issues with pulling off the key pass until Foden's arrival. That ref was pure trash, and...

Cmon City, need to buckle down the D but also speed up the build up!

Rodri superb, taking the ball away before people even know he's there

Where are the subs? Need an energy injection

A quality view on what City have achieved from US media, much needed after BS "football is ruined" narratives post FA cup final http://www.espn.com/soccer/blog/marcottis-musings/62/post/3858143/manchester-city-are-the-greatest-team-of-the-premier-league-era

City lacks an advocate sitting on the board, huge difference it seems!

The actual corruption is plainly stated in the final 2 paragraphs of the Times article, where Panja notes the PSG chairman is on the UEFA board, and his BEIN Sports is the biggest rights bidder for UEFA. Hence PSG (who had the same the "inflation of sponsorships" years back but at exorbitant...

He is unbearable on ESPN, he was the Rag blogger previously there but got upgraded to "Senior Writer" and still spouts horrible pro-Manure/anti-City trash generally

yes you beautiful yellow sub! Denis learned that touch at City...

yeah sorry just late catching up on this thread. At least that makes the spectre of nil-nil through 210 minutes in the semis a virtual impossibility!! I appreciate great defending but can do without turgid stalemates...

Atleti is an exception methinks...

quality from Lallana with the air kick

I wouldn't call Otamendi trash, but seriously he screws up more in one game than Pique does in a month. Pique has calm, something that most all of our CBs could use.

Maybe you are thinking of Alexis' season in 2010-11 when he was 22 (his last year at Udinese before Barca signed him), but his season of 2009-10 when he was 20-21 (Dec birthday like Raheem), he scored 6 in 36 games in all comps. Sterling has already scored 150% of that goal tally by early December!

Just a superb performance in the 2nd half, thrilling to see City's relentless work pay off, BMG def wore down with the continued pressure and likely the exertions from the Bayern match too. What an amazing birthday for Sterling, hope he celebrates mightily but skips the shisha! On the media bias...

very unconvincing penalty attempt by Dzeko, lucky to even win the penalty, Roma having a mare all through

Giddy from that display and getting ahead of things, but play wisely and with the motors charged up like tonight in Turin, snag a win and then City could play Willy at #10 and Navas in goal on the last matchday!!!

Stellar tactical setup by Pellegrini, immense performance from all, especially the Ferns, Sterling and Sagna. Yaya was superb too, the setup seemed to stoke his motor in some fashion, really was up for it. I love Silva like no other but I wonder if his ball retention tendencies and slower pacing...
