Despite that being a really good performance from everyone, the best thing about that result is topping the group and getting a freebie in the last game while also avoiding Bayern Munich in the next round too.

 

[Beanhead]

Rodri was again, just metronomic in being there to recycle.
Definitely a Godri performance tonight.

In fact, if that thunderbastad had gone in, he'd be verging on Zodri!

Rodri is the best deep lying midfielder in the world the past year imo.

 

[oddfellows]

No Debruyne, Foden, Grealish, wow what a fucking squad we have!!

No Torres

 

[Hayley Croppers chopper]

They wouldn’t live with this side with the pressing alone, a key recruitment up top and we’re taking about one the greatest teams ever imo, pep is for me, a Renaissance master

Totally agree, it still fucks me off we never got a platinum trophy as it was far better what we did as Centurions than what the tarquins did

 

[IrishBlueSince92]

That ref was very good tonight
Allowed just about the right amount of contact to go in some tackles that other refs would be giving soft free kicks for

 

[ysmsa]

I believe Herrera said the same thing about that fur coat when giving a statement to the gendarme

Ha ha, fur coat and no fanny more like.

I still don't think a lot of people get just how good Pep is and what he is doing with this City side. He evolves all the time. Just look at the actual formation the team is playing this year. Tonight was almost 4-1-5; it varies from game to game but it's not really 4-3-3 any more.

Anyone see the little lad on the pitch asking for Bernado's shirt (and getting it)

Messi?

 

[Blueknows]

Hope he can go on and surpass them all
23 - Raheem Sterling has now scored as many UEFA Champions League goals as Frank Lampard (23), with Wayne Rooney (30) and Paul Scholes (24) the only Englishmen to score more in the competition.

 

[JRockBlues]

Go on I'll say it. Good referee

Apart from getting in the way a few times (don't they all) I'd pretty much agree with you. Didn't fall for PSG's histrionics too much.

 

[MarsLlama]

We lost my grandmother this morning, and since the only footballer’s name I ever got her to learn was Raheem Sterling, I told all my mates that he was going to score tonight. When he did, I was filled with a strange mix of grief and happiness that I never knew I could feel.

thanks, Raheem

He still bought into some of PSG’s play acting at times

 

[14aguero]

Winning the group with a game to spare. The squad is coming along nicely.

[SWPISHOME]

One of our best performances under Pep. The way this club has moved forward from when we originally started off in the Champions League to now is phononemial. We are one of the biggest boys in it now if not the biggest! We turn up and dictate the likes of PSG...Masterclass from Pep and the players tonight.
Bernardo, Rodri, Cancelo and Walker in particular with sublime performances.

This is also the best I've seen Walker since he has joined, He has had 2 or 3 fabulous seasons since his arrival, But since August to now he looks the full package not putting a foot wrong, Both sides of his game seems to have just clicked, Marvelous to watch.

CITY CITY CITY!

 

[ancoats]

to dish up that style of football and beat one of the fav teams in champions league without 3 BIG players stands out for me. manchester city players work so so hard in what they do that the other team are beaten in the legs and can not keep up. some very fit city players and its a nightmare for all the european teams to match

this sqaud is now ready and add a striker and we win the champions league 3 or 4 times in the next 5 years

 

[jamesha]

Pep looks absolutely ecstatic - cannot remember him being so happy.

 

[CelesteItis]

Buzzing! Beaten a 12 men side filled with galácticos
bloody bent ref gave them all, that yellow to Rodri is a total travesty.

Bunch of cheating cry babies those Psg diving divas; should've been 4 nil at half time.

Chuffed for Raz & Jesus.

 

[Blue tiger]

I've slated Rodri while he has been at the club, but at the start of this season he is shoving my words back down my throat and then some. Fair play to the boy and long may it continue.
