It’s a bit of a myth that he keeps replacing expensive players with new expensive players. Of his £20m+ signings which there have been 20 of, 14 are still at the club (with just 1 not having a significant role), 4 have been sold for significant profit, 1 is currently on loan and 1 is in jail. He has amazing transfer record at City and has wasted almost no money.
Champions League Semi Finals (9th - 17th May)

No subs.
No wonder why Carlo is getting the sack. It's ugly when he is on course to fall flat on his face tactically.
The tactical approach is designed for Modric and Kroos to play, which is why he insists on Camavinga on the left, who has delivered, but took a knock against Getafe and is in a Champions League semi-final out of position.
The normal thing would obviously have been to play Rudiger from the start. And I'm in favour of always keeping the centre-back pairing, not changing to reward a match, but he has taken advantage of that fact to fit them in when more physicality was needed.

Where are those guys who were twerking for Carvajal last week?
Grealish is literally toying with him. Embarassing.

Only if Pep overthinks and outwits himself again like he has done before otherwise no they wont.
Breaking news: City fans are cnuts. More at 10.
Oh it was the fans? It was fairly ridiculous to just give the ball to Ederson. Why should they profit from the situation?
I like this referee
Walker is literally an antidote for Vinicius
Also, Grealish staying wide ensures Gundogan can drive a semi into Real's box

Yeah, although my fav, Modric is finished. Rodri just walked past him
city already dropping off
time for self choke ?

Not sure Carvajal will finish this game.
Marciniak, also did last World Cup final. No bullshit lad
Bayern in top form and without injuries would definitely cause City problems. Unfortunately, Neuer is injured and firing Nagelsmann didn't help either.
It's all on United now. You are our best (only) hope to stop City's treble now.
Baecause Carlo is an idiot
Agree. If someone among the Real players is willing to do a Diego Simeone or a Slaven Bilic to deprive a key City player of the final, be my guest.
You can't say he has wasted almost no money. They spent around £150m on terrible centre backs. Also i don't think pep is making the signings because they have a vaguely proper set up
Idiotic foul by Militao
Don't think I've ever seen Ancelotti so rattled as he was at half time. He was like a rabbit in the headlights.
First names on BT. Cringe commentary.
Real look like they just want it to be over.
We certainly matched City's way of playing, but I wouldn't say we were more of a threat - just badly missing a finisher like Benzema or Vinicius.
Yet all those supposedly awful center backs are still there and playing significant minutes for a team about to win the treble while our £80m signing doesn’t even get a look in during injury crisis. He’s basically recycled Stones into a very solid option, has got Ake playing at a good level, Laporte and Dias have always been fine. Even Akanji is fine and he cost next to nothing.
ha shouldve been another card there stopping a counter
You can think what you want of CIty but boy, KdB, what a player.
I'd like City to score at least one more so I can go to bed without having to wake up to headlines of another legendary comeback.
Grealish just falls over, horrible and useless player.
Ooo, last weekend's Gündogan scored that blindfolded
should be 3-0
I think this is the worst I’ve ever seen Modric play. Think age has finally caught up.
Grealish has done really well again
Apparently it's clever play and using his experience
We must all become Inter Milan supporters now.
The longevity of Kroos, Modric, and Benzema has helped mask that Real need a bit of a rebuild. All 3 look dusted out there.
What an awful take! Are you watching the game?
Arguably the best player on the pitch and toying with Madrid.
If he was French or Spanish you'd be fawning over him.
Possibly the worst I've ever seen Modric play
My name is Luke Modric, and for some reason I couldn’t hit a barn door with a banjo.
What in the world is this sub then?
This main commentator is very meh
I don't like mcmanamans accent and he's a Scouse ....
But at least he's knowledgeable
