But Pep has specifically said the Premier league is number one priority, he's said it many many times, including the beginning of this season. Of course he wants the CL, but he now realizes we don't get the VAR calls and you can lose over 30% of your games and still win it, you can't do that and win the Premier league. The CL is a knock out comp, anything can happen, need a bit of luck. We haven't had much luck at all for the big calls in it.
The Premier League has to be the priority every year because to win the CL is so difficult. This doesn't stop it from being the more important to win if at all possible. I am simply making the point of what is ultimately the most important to the club, the players and I would expect Pep.
Yes, that's what I meant/
I get that bit entirely and we will sell out the knockout stages no problem. Even Pep's so called history club's have empty spaces in the less favourable ties.

I agree with you cant understand fellow blues sometimes I get we hate UEFA I do myself but I love City more and I'm going tomm with lad . I think some have let uefa crush them that much that they can't enjoy the competition. I just refuse to let anything spoil my e enjoyment of watching City.
You only live once as I've found out sadly over the last few months.hate gets you no where.
Come on City let's win it .

You may not agree with them, but most football fans around the world think the CL is more important. So if City are to achieve the maximum fanbase/commercial exposure that the owners seek, then we have to be seen to be doing well in the competition and preferably winning it from time to time. Now you may argue that it is because we've been unlucky or that UEFA have fixed it against us but any way you look at it we have underachieved in that competition compared to where we are at as a team.
Probably should have got to a final by now , or at least a couple of semis, but it took Fergie 13 years to win it. He (only) won it twice in 26 years.

Of course we are trying to win it, but sooo many factors are against you and it's a cup comp, not always the best team wins it. It's more like a superbowl, time your best games at the latetr stages and peak for the final. The league, the best teams win it, that is THE best gauge.It took Fergie 13 years to win the CL and he (only) won it twice in 26 years.

Absolutely, especially if there is something riding on them. The 3-2 against Bayern a couple of years ago springs to mind - we were bouncing all over the place when Aguero scored the winner. However, City may have been a victim of their own success here in that by despatching the opposition ruthlessly the last couple of seasons it has made the last few games in the group stage a bit of a formality.
That's jinxed it for tomorrow night now!

I didn't say anything about size , I meant its similar to the Superbowl as in the team with the best record to get there doesn't always win it in the end, it's about timing, good luck.... and peaking at the knock out stages and final . Liverpool lost every away group game and yet still won it.
Didn't it take Fergie about 9 years to even get to a final too.
