Champions League - 2021/22

[Centurions]

In City’s full history of playing in Europe, we’ve lost on all five occasions that we’ve been involved in ties decided on away goals.
Widzew Łódź (UEFA Cup 1977-78)
Groclin (UEFA Cup 2003-04)
Sporting Lisbon (Europa League 2011-12)
Monaco (Champions League 2016-17)
Tottenham (Champions League 2018-19)

There's a record we're never going to break then...

Perfect Draw: Sevilla, Ajax, Club Brugge. Great away trips, minimal travel. Should piss the group.

PSG, Ajax, AC Milan

Bring it on

Swap PSG for Real Madrid and I'm with you.

Big games early on, get people raising their level from the beginning.

We've been actually been involved in six ties that went to away goals and went through on the first occasion, against Linfield in the Cup Winners' Cup in 1970/71.

We won 1-0 at Maine Road in the first leg with a Colin Bell goal, meaning that Francis Lee's penalty in the 2-1 defeat in Belfast a fortnight later was enough to take us through, as described here: Linfield v Manchester City European Cup Winners Cup 1st Round 2nd Leg 1970/71 – City Til I Die

Thanks for confirming that my memory hasn't entirely given up! That goal at Maine Rd came quite late in the game too.

St Petersburg!! Fuck off UEFA

£600 for a flight and £120 for a visa .... no thanks

Can’t the visa be avoided if you travel in on the ferry from Tallin?

Thanks for the correction. I didn’t realise that the away goals rule was in place that early - thought it was introduced in the mid 70s. Always good to learn new new stuff!
