wendyredredrobin Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 Having missed Bayern thrashing Barca 8-2 last night, I thought I would give Man C a watch tonight. Fully expect City to win this one but will be interesting to see how they fare against the Germans if they meet in the semis or the final. I think I read somewhere that Sergio Aguero is out, but they do have fantastic strength in depth. Reckon it should be a decent game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted August 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 I normally support the British teams in European matches. I might make an exception if Leeds ever get there again though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Its Smith Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 Hopefully Man City win. Much rather watch Man City v Bayern than Lyon v Bayern. Going to be close tonight I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetterRedthanBlue Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 Although Lyon finished 7th in Ligue 1 they beat Juve in the last round, drew with Leipzig in the group stages and unlike Man City who are expected to win and are one of the favourites to win the champions league they have no pressure they have nothing to lose (like Ajax last season). I think it has the makings of an absolute classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portland Bill Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 The way the commentators were talking during the Bayern v Barca game I thought Man City were already through! I do found it really annoying when people from this country write off the opposition before a ball is kicked, pure jingoism, just remember Man City have just two more Englishman than Lyon!!

Don't think they were being that bad, if Real Madrid were playing Wolves would it not be justified for them to be heavy favourites, Lyon were not all that good in the League this season so went into this game as big underdogs.

steviestevieneville Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 I did find Man City’s starting line up strange . A bit Liverpool really in midfield and didn’t understand de bryune so far up the pitch . Ark at i mind questioning pep as soon as he drops deeper it’s carnage . anyone that was at Man City away that night. When he got the ball bowled out to him inside his own half , I said to my mates straight away oh **** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the way they repeatedly carried on about what Man City would have to do in the semi with Bayern, then each time they said it, they would say ‘ but they have to beat Lyon’ as an afterthought. No one can take the result of a football match for granted, otherwise the bookmakers would be bankrupt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
