City just haven't faced an elite attack this season, and just because of that you think that Man UTD's gameplan is the only way to beat them. Bayern have proven that they are the best in the world last season. What have City done?
They have no pedigree in Europe to be called the favourites, or to be compared to the likes of Bayern. Once they face Bayern or PSG's attack and still are dominant, then I give them their respect. However I think that they got a rude awakening coming their way.
