City fans' view towards the Champions League

[MCFC1993]

I love it. Like you said, loved watching it on TV as a kid when we weren't even involved.

The losses to Monaco, Spurs and Lyon have been as painful as any game I can remember.

I hope to see it in our trophy cabinet this year. Then I'll look forward to us playing Champions from all the other continents in the winter.


I've added a poll, feels like it's a good way to see where we're at as a fan base.

patronising as i find you usually are

I'm patronising to posters who I think are silly. If you recognise yourself then that's tough I'm afriad.

I always wanted to win it. I understood the implications of the club needing to win it, we've all move in the same direction and now we're here (Except those negatives who are now probably missing out on all the fun?)

My bro, didnt watch a single CL game, he listened to R2 the other night whilst we were all stressing. Now he;s excited about the CL final talking about how hard its been and whatever whatever , quite fucked off with him, and those that are now celebrating this success whilst they've scoffed at everyone supporting it.

I have no problem with anyone who says they were wrong, no issues at all btw.

Maybe it’s because I couldn’t be at the match but when we beat PSG I wasn’t particularly emotional like I normally would be when we have a huge win. Honestly I was a lot more emotional both when we beat Spurs in the final and when we beat Villa recently.

The CL is shite, its everything that’s wrong with modern football, it’s Super League lite. I want us to win it but i don’t get excited by it like I do the other competitions

I enjoy the competition and always have, I have not enjoyed the way UEFA have treated us and the bias we have had to put up with. It’s funny how having a decent and fair refs this year coincides with us getting to the final.

You are missing out mate. Tuesday was one of the great nights in City's history.

Totally agree, another poster who belittles others if they have differing views, I have to read and re read all of my posts before I post due to the culture on this forum( I know I can be confrontational sometimes as well so I am not innocent of this).

The only issue I have ever had with the UEFA Champions league is the fact that it is run by UEFA.

My enjoyment of the games I have been to personally has been absolute. Even when we have not won it has been a joy to watch Juve, Barca, real and Bayern etc in the flesh.

When I have not been at the games in person my enjoyment has been spoiled to a degree by the coverage we have received. Listening to Rio Ferdinand explain that he hopes my team will lose has not been pleasant, nor has the absence of the support that UK broadcasters invariably give UK teams (until recently) been enjoyable. Nor is that just a BT Sport thing, because back in the day Sky and ITV were exactly the same.

So I don't like the organisers and I don't like the coverage, but that doesn't mean I don't like the competition.
