      Ideally, City get done by Atletico in the final.

      England gets the points for the UEFA club rankings, they don't win it and in turn stop Real from winning it and the lesser of all evils takes it out with Torres scoring a winner. Sorted.

      We dont get many Atletico games here on tele so i'll take your word for it. It's either the Barca or Madrid La Liga games, or the early kick offs which are almost always the sh*t teams against each other when no other league is playing. Only time i get to watch them is the half dozen or so games a season they play that are big games.

      Still rooting for them though. F**k Real, f**k Bayern and f**k City.


      fair play mate, have a huge amount of respect for Simeone, pound for pound he's probably the best coach in the world at the moment, but the team definitely play in his image.

      So hypothetical here....City drop out of the top 4, but make the CL final against Bayern. How does Pep approach that game? Does he go for the win with Bayern and he knock his next team out of the competition. ;D

      Perfect scenario would be what Crouchy said, City do Real and then get beat in the final by Atletico after finishing 5th in the league.

      Pep has to make do with the Europa next season!  :D

      Madrid vs Atletico in the final 2 years ago, potentially the same again this year.

      Navas, a player I've long wondered why he gets so many minutes, is letting City down badly here. S@int was talking how manager's have their blind spots and I definitely think this is Pellegrini's blind spot. They've had great opportunities on this right hand side and made virtually no chances whatsoever.

      Madrid are looking bereft of ideas without Ronaldo, Bale hardly even in the game.

      I think this would suit Sterling more than Navas, I also think Sterling is a far better player than Navas. He reminds me of another Lennon, just runs down the wing and does F**k all with the ball.

      You can definitely tell how much Madrid rely on Ronaldo. You can see how he does basically everything for them because they look like a team that's just been put together.

      Surely City can get something from this game now. Benzema was shocking in that first half and now he's been subbed for Jese. Never been that impressed with Jese when I've seen him.

      When he was first breaking through I thought he'd be a lot better than he currently appears. We've been linked with him but I'm guessing we'll be linked with 100s between now and the close of the window.

      Ye I remember when he and Morata made their break through and there seemed to be a bit of hype about him. I'm shocked they got rid of Morata over Jese though.

      Shows how much I watch Italian footy I'd totally forgotten about Morata, yeah I liked him too! Just checked his stats, seems to be doing very well for Juve.

      I remember him being mentioned with us a few months ago for £45m, whilst I don't think he's worth that I still think he's a very good player.

      Owen Hargreaves saying the game needs a world class talent like the original Ronaldo to turn this game on it's head. I thought there were 22 world class players on the pitch already? :roll:

      Iheanacho is going to be one hell of a player isn't he.

      I think he will. I think it says a lot when he's the go to guy off the bench when Silva got injured, especially when you have a £50m midfielder sitting next to you.

      What a crap game. Both teams look so blunt.

      After getting beat by Wolfsburg in the 1st leg of the last round I think they've come into this guy with the aim of conceding as few as possible. I think they'll have too much for City in the home leg if Ronaldo plays.

      Wonder where James will end up next season. Jese, Vazquez and Isco all playing ahead of him now.

      I don't know how James is behind Jese and Vazquez. They both look pretty average to me.
