We often criticise BT Sport’s coverage of City in Europe, but just watching the game back and tbf the commentator (Darren Fletcher) seems to be genuinely enthusiastically celebrating our goals. Shouldn’t really be noteworthy, but this is where we are.

Did you see the pre match Ric? Spent 90% of it talking up Bayern. Just inexplicable for a home broadcaster

Wise!

I just accept it as normal now. And I know why it is as it is. But it shouldn’t be

I actually think BT commentary isn't too bad for City, including tonight (barring the 'Manchester United defender Manuel Akanji' comment).

Yeah, it’s usually the co-commentators (Keown, McMananan) that I take umbrage with.

Liverpool control of the media is impressive. Bellingham has clearly snubbed them but it's wall to wall 'we didn't want him anyway' coverage.

Icing on the cake to get back from the game to read all those headlines about Bellingham.
If that beer company did Tuesday nights …

Either there was a lag on the stream I watched, or he could see Rodris shot going in as soon as his laces connected with it, but he was definitely caught in the moment & whooped.

BBC report… Utter bollox and they know exactly what they are doing.

For all their domestic brilliance, Guardiola's outstanding work at Etihad Stadium will be judged - rightly or wrongly - through the prism of whether or not he wins Europe's elite club competition, a crown he claimed twice at Barcelona.

“ Bayern are not the team they used to be as they suffer defeat in a half full soulless concrete bowl in East Manchester”
