Champions League group stage opponent watch (Sevilla V Barca)

This is PSG's starting 11. Di Maria on the bench. 2nd best team in Europe I think. Trapp; Aurier, Thiago Silva, David Luiz, Maxwell; Verratti, Thiago Motta, Matuidi; Lucas Moura, Ibrahimovic, Cavani.
 
Without sounding like a arrogant ****, I'd rather have City's squad.

Who's Trapp? is Sirgu injured?

Trapp is one of a few youngish very good German goalkeepers, not as good as Leno but he's good. I'm in agreement though, would rather have our squad.
Man for man:

My combined XI:

--------------------------Hart--------------------------------

Sagna/Zaba-----Kompany-----Thiago Silva-----Kolarov

------------------Yaya----------Veratti---------------------

De Bruyne---------------Silva----------------------Sterling

-------------------------Aguero--------------------------------

A good point could maybe be made for Ibra and Matuidi but a good point could also be made for Fernandinho and Otamendi and even the inform Mangala.
 
@MadchesterCity got it right when he said our rivals would all lose.

3-0 Atleti, Sevilla have been impressive in patches without creating much.

Yup 3v0 Athletico good side and Seville shown glimpses, just one game but good to get a feel for them.

Without wanting to appear arrogant or presumptious I'm sure all our rivals are really pissed they got City in their group from the pot 2 teams

Onwards and upwards CTID

For what's it's worth I hate these comparisons as its so difficult to be subjective. I would actually rather have the entire City first 11 right now

Make no mistake, right now I wouldn't swap any of our players, more of a general view as to how much stronger our team is on paper based on form and ability in arguing against them having the 2nd best squad in Europe, in a match scenario its completely different of course.
 
None of our champions League opponents have managed a league win yet. Best is Sevilla with one loss one draw! Very surprising since 3 of the teams in our group are rated in the Euro top ten.
