VAR saving the day.

Aguero's miss from the spot turns out to be the difference.

I mean, win Europa League to play Champions League next season.

Yeah that but being in Europa league with the build up isn't the same as being in the Champions league with the build up you get from that. 

Then again if we do make it we need to step up a lot or plop back into Europa.

i so wish we had Var back in 2009, Pep would have never won that Champions League with Barca.

Great result as it now keeps them fully focused on the league title. But that was not an offside IMHO. 

Bet they'll destroy Spurs on Saturday. 

What do you mean it's not offside lol?

That was an offside. 

If it wasn't for VAR that would have stand. 

But it sure was.

little details always make the difference, City bottled it no doubt

[petre.ispirescu 4,928]

Watching some refs on TV, it seems it was 100% the right call at the offside.

no worries we will not finish 4th

yes but I cannot imagine a worse season (short of us finishing 8th or worse in next couple years)

of a potential

Spuds CL victory (or Victimpool)

Victimpool EPL trophy

and Arse EL trophy

plus us not getting top 4

which, if you are laying odds

as long as Barca lose

VERY likely could happen

the bindippers are only english team to beat Barca in Barca and knock them out

they have done it twice

Though guess other way to look at it is we could've got to the final and lost to Man U again.. That been to much. 

2012 had the perfect crazy ending. 

[Pizy 18,515]

Barca v Ajax is the dream final. For fucks sake, if Liverpool beat Barca I'm going to be devastated. City may be demoralized by going out and now slip up in the PL as well. Liverpool winning the CL and PL? Oh god....😩

you have a good point, fuck United, not gonna lie i was really happy  when they lost to Barca in 2009 and 2011.

I'm sure it will be glossed over, though. Mahrez's PK miss could prove to be pivotal in the title race as well.

It's going to be an Ajax V Liverpool final. I'm sure people will be rooting for one team. [emoji1]

[BlueLyon 9,359]

As I said a while ago, City will get knocked out again and they did.

Perhaps the best english team my ass  United 99, 08, Chelsea 05, 10, Liverpool 06?, Arsenal invincibles were all miles ahead because back then the PL was actualy strong and they had great CL runs too. Beating Burnleys and Stokes or piss poor Chelsea, United, Arsenal is peak of what Pep City can achieve. And even then they are likely going to lose title to Pool.

Imagine if Spuds beat City in PL again, within a week they would literaly destroy whole City season haha.

As for semis, fantastic pairs. Pool-Barca will be a massive spectacle and Ajax will have a nice chance against Spuds without Kane and Son in first match.

Yeah I thought because Bernardo Silva only slightly touched the ball it would not matter, but it seems it does

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Also Laporte. A definition why I still prefer good ol' reliable CB over these modern ball playing defenders who fuck up everything in key moments. You have a couple with strong character like Pique, Ramos, Van Dijk, De Ligt,..that still perform reliably enoug but 80% of these ball playing CBs are some of the biggest frauds in football that cost their teams in key times. Bonucci, Laporte, Stones, Christensen,..

[Fernando 6,497]

Despite Pep not going through on another quarter you still have to give it to Pep, he has put City more competitive then before. 

Even if he was to leave whoever take over will take a nice little team. 

That being said, spend more money on defense!

Imagine... Last year was bad enough. This even worse but to win both. Hear about it for bloody years.
