Schalke Post Match Thread

Awesome performance. Motm performances everywhere. I confess I have not always been Gundogan’s biggest fan but right now I am advocating kidnapping his wife and kids and holding them until he signs a new contract. Ok I’m joking but he has been great the past few weeks. Zinchenko top class again as was Sane. These two seem to have a really great understanding. Sterling, Bernie, Sergio all brilliant.

What a joy it is to be a City fan. Happy days
 
VAR (and the idiots in charge of it) will kill the game. I was there and celebrated the first 3 only to then have to wait, for the second goal 2 minutes forty five seconds, before I could celebrate properly, after that it was all an anti climax, yes we won but if you cannot celebrate a goal what is the point. It was almost as if they didn't want to give the goals (off to the agenda thread)
 
Ederson works on his beard....

Yes 2 minutes in the first half when one VAR decision took over 2 minutes, and non in the second half despite 4 goals and a whole raft of substitutions.

UEFA make up the rules as they go along.

Yeah, there needs to be a bit of cop on with those VAR reviews on offside. If it's incredibly, incredibly close just either go with the on field or the attacking side and wrap it up as quickly as possible.

On average 24 years old. (Stones, 24, not being involved.)

Young and wild - most of them ;-)
Good times ahead.

Get rid of walker and Gundogan. No room for pensioners in this team!
 
Oh and how did 30 or so Schalke fans get seats all together in CB3 by the tv stand ? There were quite a few dotted around, which I have no problem with, but 30 together ? who sold the tickets ?
 
The guardian report of the match is quite fair but in their stats section they claim possession was 50% to each team WTF?

Not bad..

  • Guardiola has qualified for the Champions League quarter-finals in nine of his 10 campaigns, with 2016-17 the only season he failed to do so.
  • City won 10-2 on aggregate - only once previously has a team won by a larger margin in the Champions League knockout stages (Bayern Munich 12-1 Sporting CP in the 2008-09 Last 16).
  • Their progression means there will be at least three English teams in the quarter final stage of a single Champions League campaign for the first time since 2010-11 (Chelsea, Manchester United and Spurs).
  • City have scored at least two goals in each of their last seven Champions League games; the longest such streak by an English team in the competition.
  • Guardiola has won all six of his home games in the Champions League against German opposition as manager - his sides have scored 28 goals, while conceding just two in return.
  • Aguero has scored in four consecutive Champions League appearances for Manchester City; the joint-longest run of any player for the club (along with Sterling in November 2017).
  • Sane scored his 50th goal in all competitions at senior club level (37 for his current club and 13 for Schalke).
  • Sterling has been directly involved in nine goals in his last four starts for Manchester City at the Etihad in all competitions (six goals and three assists).
  • Foden is the youngest player to score for Manchester City in the Champions League (18 years and 288 days.
