Thought it was a 50-50 call. Seen them given, seen them not given. Dortmund was unlucky as they had the run of play, but that's why you need to put away the chances you do get.

Very True, big thing that we have confirmed is that Man citys defence looks really shaky, and when they are up against teams who have a good defence they will start to have big problems. Still no clean sheet for city, expect to see lots of highscoring games at Man city all season long.

City do not deserve that point at all. Was completely outplayed all night by Dortmund and would have taken all 3 had it not been for the ludicrous penalty decision by the referee. Utterly ridiculous for the ref to give when Subotic(IIRC) was only like 1-2 yards away and he could have hardly moved his hand away. Furthermore, it was ball to hand and not hand to ball FFS!!

I actually think Dortmund is the ideal football model to follow. Both financially where they manage to be successful in a tough league despite spending wisely and on the field where they play an attractive brand of football that is more realistic for teams to emulate than what Barcelona play. They play beautiful, quick counter-attacking game. They open up space beautifully for their attackers and are adept at passing short and long. Even in this game where Dortmund vastly outplayed City, City still had 64% of the possession. I find that style much more exciting than the infinite midfield passing of Barcelona. I think people obsess about possession too much anyway. Just my POV.
