2015-16 UEFA Champions League

City up to their old tricks.

To quote Jeremy Kyle....


Well Well Well

What a finish by Morata

What a goal!!

I'd definitely take the point now!

Another hat-trick for Ronaldo tonight. Might be 3 in a row when Real play Granada at the weekend.

GreNoLi

Fair play to juve, nervous feel to the game from city supporters and team, Fernandinho the only one in their ranks to perform to his usual level, Pogba supposedly off to barca in january would be sickening for them.

Best league in the world

4th English place looking at risk now.

brianregan09

The English sides really are not able for the Champions League are they......Or an alternative explanation

United were bamboozled by that shocking injury and probably underestimated PSV in the 1st place

I watched the City game and both teams played poor but two moments of magic beat them

Hopefully Arsenal can win tomorow

We've never really taken to the competition, either as a team (as our results will confirm!) or as supporters, hence the, it has to be said, piss poor atmosphere tonight. I was over at the Watford game and it was a cracking atmosphere. It's hard to fathom why we feel the way we do about the CL. I do know that some fans feel the constant tough groups we get has a certain "whiff" about it. But we'll keep on getting them until we achieve something in the competition (q/f or better). Disappointing.

Listening to 5 Live and Pat Nevin commented on the pace of European football and how Man City couldn't handle it.

Yet, most pundits on Sky etc are always claiming that the Premier League is the quickest in the world....

In fairness to Sky, they're not the only ones who claim such bullshíttery.

They'll always promote the PL as the best as they show a good chunk of the games.

'Arry saying PSV are average opposition.

Don't believe the (Sky) hype. It may well be one of the most exciting leagues around (due to the poor technique of a lot of the players playing in it), but the best? No way. It's a long, long way behind La Liga or the Bundesliga. Even Serie A, which has been through a slump in the recent past, is once again catching up.

He's some clown.

Get rid of Redknapp and TV3 have a decent panel.

If I was a Manchester City fan I'd be quite concerned. I think they've had a free pass in Europe for a while and that's fine. But now with the calibre of players they have and the way we know they can play, they have to be performing better.

They just seem to hit a wall as if they think they're the underdogs in some games.

They have one of the best midfields and one of the best strikers in Europe but they just look so flat.

Sevilla might cause them some serious trouble in this group if they can't impose themselves against teams like this.

Boring competition really, Barça will just walk it again this year ...

Boring

Jasus the bottom team of Serie A beats City, that forth place really is in danger.

Going by last years form I would have expected Seville to City at home and get a draw away. I haven't seen them play this year but going by their poor results, the loss of Bacca and Vidal has hurt them quite a bit. It will be an interesting two tie's

Eh? What Serie A table are you looking at?

Harry should know better.

CSKA wont be a pushover.

Go back to your deluded friends at Sky Sports Souness.

Agree a great way to watch when multiple games are on and having the European football show pundits doing it makes it work well.

No way could I listen to Gerrard, Ferdinand & Lineker like that.

Missed the first half of the Arsenal game. Annoying goal to concede but I don't know what Giroud was thinking. Can have no complaints.

Muller with a cracker.

Some great goals tonight.

Must have been the Greek police getting their own back on the Germans for cutting their pay.

He is useless.
He has conceded more goals this season than he did in all of last season.
