It's not true, it's because they don't have fans. If Chelsea is playing fans of Man Utd, arsenal and Liverpool won support the opponent and hope they loose, but as city no get fans nobody dey support them

I remember when Leicester kicked out Sevilla ,the fan base was much

Maybe you will tell me they Leicester has fans

Bros leave matter ok

TheGoodJoe:


You guys are hilarious. I did not turn off my phone. I was receiving laughs from my elder brother.

More like Liepzip vs Lyon

1realBobby:
lol.. the picture can never be complete without Bayern there. Pitch 22 Lyon players against Bayern's eleven, dem go still collect at least 5

TheGoodJoe:
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.

It's not about the hype... It's basically about rubbing it on the faces of those who look down on others, that you don't just write anyone off. I was listening to Nigeria info fm prior to the start of this match, and virtually everyone who called in predicted man city to win with a huge margin.. Buut i was damn so sure that eleven against eleven, anything could happen..

ChrisKels:


Are we in for a long run on quotes, analysis, YouTube videos on how apt Pep's tactics were and how it was rightly interpreted by Garcia the genius?

Danielnino00:


What Leicester have are admirers and not really fans..

Their premier league victory was one hel of a remarkable feat that attracted a lot of attention to them... They gained a lot of admirers but not fans....

TheGoodJoe:


What matters is Garcia was spot on. He did not show City respect and go for the negative. He believed they were up to the task and his bravery paid off.

ChrisKels:


What's your take on Lopez's ability as a goalkeeper?

benji93:
. I cwould rather play defensive strategy and win than play an offensive one and lose. I honestly think Guardiola is a little overrated. Win this thing so at least the English fans can brag that we still have one team in the tournament you can't. Where's that guy that was running all over the place talking up offensive strategies. Offensive strategy my ass. . Perhaps you have learnt one or two things. .

@Edopesin. Team defensive, wetin you think?

babatundey5:
Guardiola is a big fraud

1realBobby:
Victor Osimhen outclasses Gabriel Jesus as a striker. Put Osimbaba in this team and watch him paint the EPL red.... Haba! so much deliveries from midfield and yet no reliable striker to execute them. If Aguero was here tonight, Mancity would win the game with a very wide margin.

No, playing defensive football is easy and means the coach doesn't know anything, it's better to loose 8-2 than pack bus and win 1-0 via a counter attacking goal

forgiveness:


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.

They won the game, a dubious goal from a foul and offside and a huge big gaff from what has been a previously reliable goalkeeper.

However, l feel that Pep made a big mistake changed the formation and played very negative. He should have had Foden, Sylva, and Mahrez from the start.

Today Lyon won the game but did not out play or dominate City. But got a very lucky win against a better side. It happens but City played too negative. It's knock out football you can't recover in the second leg.

Now for the first time we have a French and German semi final and possibly on paper it seems it will be Bayern and PSG. However, with the number of upsets we could have a PSG vs Lyon.

Still farmers league nothing has changed

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

TheGoodJoe:


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.”

JayromWrites:


What about Walker's push in the 18' box against Cornet?

TheGoodJoe:


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.
