And were you around in 2019 when we won 14 games in a row with Gundogan playing defensive midfield?
He was still a risk defensively in nearly every game.

How many times did he play there this season though? You must admit it's a bit strange to do it in a final?And were you around in 2019 when we won 14 games in a row with Gundogan playing defensive midfield?

This cheered me up.We are literally only missing out on a couple of million.:
2021 Champions League final prize money
The Champions League finalists will each get $18.3 million, but the winner will net an additional $4.88 million for automatically qualifying for the UEFA Super Cup, a one-off match against the UEFA Europa League winners, Villarreal CF.
The full outline of prize money for the current 2020-2021 edition of the Champions League follows in the table below. Making the group stage alone is enough for all 32 clubs to cash in an automatic $18.6 million. The more matches won in the group stage and the deeper a team advances, the bigger the financial rewards.
- Champions League Winner: $23.18 million
- Champions League Runner-up: $18.3 million
This season alone, Manchester City and Chelsea have already collected $75.2 million and $73 million, respectively, before taking into account the prize money coming to them in the final.
I'm guessing we've missed out on a damn sight more in sponsorship money.
Not that I really care like.
He was still a risk defensively in nearly every game.
Yes. Such a risk that we conceded 3 goals in 14 games and 2 of them were consolation goals when were were 3+ goals up.
There are some very poor memories on this forum.

Its no more strange than 100 other changes he made this season that worked.

The morons who are asking to replace Pep, should really fcuk off to the OT. We don’t want you here. We have come a long way.
He has changed the way English football is being played, not just by us, but by EVERY team. How can we not be proud of that ???
Some of you are becoming like those entitled cünts at the toilet and dipperland, it’s sickening.
I’ve been a blue for 45+ years, seen the dark days of division 3 etc, some of you need to give yourself a slap if you think he needs replacing. He made a MASSIVE mistake, yes it’s hurting like fcuk, but I’ll take the PL and a cup next season as well.
We ARE CITY!!!

Having slept on this result it isnt the disaster some may think , the best team in europe finished nineteen points behind the best team in England , a cup final is a one-off and its all about who gets it right on the day, we didnt.
Our poor performance was self inflicted and Chelksi took advantage , we had a few half chances and they missed several chances there wasnt a gulf in class Chelski were defeding for their lives for the last 25 minutes.
On another day Pep doesnt experiment we play our usual game and the players know exactly their responsibilities and we play to the very high standard we have achieved all season and we win the game
Maybe next year.
I think the exact opposite. The game was an absolute disaster and it doesn’t get any better when you break it down.
You said that Chelsea defended for their lives but aside from two or three good defensive blocks, we created fuck all. I don’t think I’ve ever seen us play with such little composure under Pep.
We had players misplacing simple passes and kicking the ball out of play. We had Ederson needlessly smacking the ball up front when he had two defenders open. We had Kyle Walker taking multiple long throw ins into the box.
As a team we lacked ideas and became desperate and that’s worrying in our biggest game of the season.
Add to the fact that Tuchel has already turned us over twice in the past month playing exactly the same way, it doesn’t reflect well on Pep in the slightest.
For the record, I’m not one who thinks Pep should be sacked or anything. No one could have done what he has for us this season. That said, his record in the CL with us simply cannot be defended. Every season we have got knocked out by sides we are better than.
