Very good second half after switching back to usual formation. Our most composed performance against a big team in Europe.
I hope we dedicate the win to Javier Tebas.

Bye Juve...
Lyon aren't pushovers
That was really funny!...vs Lyon.
Sarriball is trash.
Well, yes and no. Yes, the both us and barcelona have dropped a level, but also, City are just an amazing side
Congrats to them. Well deserved
Sarri to get the sack. Horrendous football.
Caqueret is a great talent
City, PSG, Atletico and Bayern/Barca. United, Inter, Shakhtar and Wolves/Sevilla. Should be a cracking set of semi's.
How the feck Sarri is going to stay after this ? I can't believe they won't pull the trigger now. They're wasting the last good years of Ronaldo in football.
Bayern look the team to beat and they have all the assets we struggle against. strong strike who can bully CB's and most of all rapid pace out wide.
Juve entire gameplan was to hope Ronaldo do something. They are so average in almost every other part of the pitch.
City should be wary of Lyon.
Could get picked off on counters with their current soft defense similar to that Monaco match 3 years ago.

RM looked knackered tonight. Both teams were struggling with an oppressive 30C temperature, but RM really looked laboured, especially in the 2nd half, and then two absolute howlers ....
I hate to admit but City are looking good. They just rolled over Madrid. They are hitting form at the correct time
Not inevitable, but they're the best footballing side in the world. Will likely have Bayern to meet in the semi finals (or Barcelona, but probably Bayern), who are the 2nd best team in the world IMO. Would rank Liverpool 3rd right now.
Could see the nightmare scenario (for purists) of City vs PSG in the final.
HopefullyI don't think we'll be consistent enough due to fatigue, need to beef up the squad. Sancho obviously a huge step in the right direction
Any news about that? You know something we don't?
Pep is a god
Nah, Bayern are better still i think
I meant in hypothetical terms, remains to be seen if we make that step How did Juve manage to lose to Lyon?
I don't give Barca much chance vs Bayern to be honest. They could even go out to Napoli.
Haven't played a professional game in over a month though, could be a real issue for them
Juve have some big decisions to make in the coming weeks, managerially and on the market
Yeah, his football already looked tragically boring at Chelsea and this hasn't changed at Juve. Since I have never really watched Napoli that closely I can't even say if it was any good there but I know everyone was just drooling over it before he joined Chelsea.
We wax lyrical about the talent Juve sign and their clever transfer strategy yet they win naff all outside of Serie A.

Higuain

Danilo
Rabiot
Actually, quite poor.

No feking way! Lyon are awful.
I cannot believe how rubbish Real Madrid were tonight. Man City look like real contenders tonight, sadly.
Honestly, hilarious ref gifted two ludicrous penalties in this game. Otherwise i think they would have gone through
But still, yeah. They're far from the level they need to be
The EL matches might actually be more interesting.
And varane should be raked over the coals don’t get me wrong, but he’s been better for longer than Maguire
Thought City were much, much better and probably deserved to score few more.
The first Juve penalty was weak as well and Juve couldn’t score against Lyon for nearly 135 minutes. But the ref was crap for both sides
They have a worse squad then Lyon bar Ronaldo and Dybala which is the saddest thing I ever had to type.
They are lacking in creativity and dynamism both in midfield and attack.
Seems to me the only ones standing in the way of a City CL title *barfs* is Bayern.
