Big lesson for Guardiola today. I think the demolition of Barcelona wrecked havoc on Guardiola's mentality. That is the only excuse I can give for this show of shame. Why start three central defenders and two defensive midfielders? What was he thinking? What happened to bravery and going down with your swords held high. This was embarrassing. Not about the dynamics or chances. The strategy was stinking. He taught us what bravery was all about but was too scared. Either way, kudos to Rudi Garcia. Such a brilliant tactician and was immense today. The Lyon guys played very well and indeed Dembele is a boss. Denayer was magical. Shocking we let such talent go. I wonder why Guardiola never wanted him. Congrats to Rudi Garcia and Lyon. Well played. 1 Like |

1realBobby: I made a post here yesterday about the possibility of Lyon upsetting city,so I won't same the result shocked me... Things like this happen.. I don't think people are looking down on the French league.. They are just saying the truth as it is... The French league is the weakest among the top 5 leagues. PSG have dominated the league since the Arabs took over, and to make it worse, they and other French teams don't post impressive results in European competitions like their English, Spanish and German counterparts.. so to some extent, the farmers league tag is justifiable ![]() As for those people that predicted City to win, you can't blame them na ![]() 4 Likes |

TheGoodJoe: Obviously Guardiola wanted to control the mildfield because he knew Houssem Aouar was far better than what he has in the middle but Aouar still proved to difficult to control. He did the damage. I now realized why Chelsea, Arsenal and Man city are after him. I hope we get him to play for Chelsea instead of that Derice. |

komekn: Lyon Won the game because they were the better team Nobody asked Sterling to goofed Or Gabriel to take the Tammy's challenge serious Or for Ederson to turn into prime Karius Lyon for the first 30 minutes were better and also after Man city equalized, Lyon came out to play Football is not all about possession mbok Put the ball in d fucking net 7 Likes 2 Shares |

komekn: Very precise. I did not even take note of the foul but as for the offside, the player was definitely interfering with play. If the ball went in front of him, it could be allowed but stepping over the ball is offside and Dembele fouled Laporte. No two ways about it. The fact is that if we played our normal game, this would have been a routine win. Guardiola also let us down. ![]() “Surely he can’t give that!” exclaimed Steve McManaman on BT Sport commentary. “I was very surprised the contact wasn’t given as a foul, especially as the consequences were the player who instigated that potential foul went on to score the goal. He had a material impact in that decision – so I am surprised that wasn’t given as a foul.”

However, both Ferdinand and Hart believe there was clear contact on Laporte, albeit unintentional, and the goal shouldn't have stood. "I think it's a foul," Ferdinand told BT Sport. "If I'm on that pitch, it's got to be. He's connected and he's the one who went on to score. City were dominating at that time. "There is 100 per cent contact. I don't understand how they can't call that? People will be saying conspiracy theories now if you're a City fan. "I believe that's a foul and it's the man who goes on to score the goal." "It's not intentional, that's clear but there is a clash of legs," Hart added. "Does it then go with the referee's decision because he's seen it?" https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/man-city-var-ferdinand-hart-18776960.amp Funny if anyone still thinks there is no gang up against Manchester City. Corrupt folks.

JayromWrites: From my view, I will call a penalty but it was clear Cornet went down on his own not because of the foul. But, my take was a foul. But, they did not go to VAR for that. In this case, they went to VAR, saw the foul and refused to chalk off the goal. |

I rooted for City or Bayern. But City out Now revelations Pep's transfer spend: €383m at Barça (4 seasons) €204.4m at Bayern (3 seasons) €841.1m at MCFC (4 seasons) Total = €1.429 BILLION in 11 seasons As of now, Pep since 2011 has spent €1.105 BILLION with Barça, Bayern & Man City without winning a Champions League! #UCL https:///Jvt4ICO0gz |
