What makes you think we will get another penalty after the stick we took from the media after the Arsenal one. ;-)

When was the last time we went through on away goals?My biggest fear for this season is that without the Away Goal Rule, one of our Champions League games might go to penalties.
We've lost a few though - Monaco, Spurs ... those would now go to penaltiesWhen was the last time we went through on away goals?

I was meaning in a more general sense as the odds of a penalty shootout are now more realisticWhen was the last time we went through on away goals?
In the days of Yaya and Balotelli I would have backed City against anyone in a shootout. Not anymore.

Haven't we won 7 of our last 8 penalty shootouts?
Need to practice these in training now that Mahrez is off for a month or so.
Sterling has clearly been practicing them and putting his name forward to take them this season, probably because of the Euro 2020 final.
I wouldn't be surprised if he took any while Mahrez was gone.

Obviously "touch wood" but we seem to be lifting the ball now when taking them. Invariably a keeper dives low so giving the taker greater odds
I noticed the same. Looks like some attention has been paid on the training ground.
The last 3 pens (2 Mahrez, 1 Sterling) have been placed where they cannot be saved.

That’s correct. Before losing at West Ham this season, we’d won seven shootouts on the bounce going back to 2008-09.Haven't we won 7 of our last 8 penalty shootouts?
