That game won’t determine our CL fate, but the next two might!
Brugge been the dark horse in the Group, so 6 points from them in next two games and we are pretty much through. 9 points from 4 games, with Brugge on 4 points, Leipzig probably on 0 and PSG on 10. That would mean we have to beat them at the Etihad by 2 goals (City 12 pts, PSG 10pts) and get a draw at Leipzig to top the group. If we don’t beat them by 2 goals, then we probably have to be perfect from here, unless they trip up somewhere else!
Who knows, this year, 2nd in Group might be better?!
VERY good overall performance, with sole disappointment of zero good fortune in front of goal, while everything they got on target seemed to go in!
Time to get back to England, rest and recover, shake it off and prepare for 3rd Cup Final in a week! 3 pts at the weekend would be even better than 3 pts tonight, although with Messi scoring and Liverpool bagging 5, while we fail to score, it’s easy to know what the narrative will be….
Messi downs Pep, new King of Paris
Liverpool dominate, scoring for fun
City all possession, but no center forward to finish their chances.
Now, you can turn off Sky/BT or whoever shows it over there, and you don’t even need to read the papers tomorrow!
You’re welcome!
