Last time City met Lyon they got schooled on the pitch.
So Lyon might be the weakest team left (not the roster BTW, but overall), but they're not that easy to beat.

City has the most talent and is the best team.
No one is talking about Barca because they’re ass. Lol at Suarez being motivated. He’s only motivated to beat Pipita to the buffet line.

And that’s fair too but I think that kind of makes them dangerous. As I said, just a feeling

City-Lyon is also a one off game on a neutral ground. Perfect chance for a team to upset the other and win.

Maybe? But Lyon also finished 7th in L1. I’m not counting on an upset there. Not sure if anyone is easy to beat at this stage of the competition, but I’m fairly certain City is happy to have dodged Juventus.

Again, Lyon players have shown resilience against Juve and have dominated City in both games they met last year. With basically the same guys on both teams.

We will see. That’s why they play the games

 

[Evilo]

Yup, but right now, no team should underrate the talent level of that Lyon squad.

Happy to see Kante wear the armband and hoping we don't get rinsed!

Need to win by 3 goals, which is quite the ask. I just hope we can make the tie competitive by getting a couple here so the aggregate score isn't a blow out.

No puig suck dick Setein

Messi a yellow away from suspension. So much for catering to the big boys.

RLC was supposed to start and now he's not even on the bench, looks like he got hurt again. He's never going to reach his full potential when he can never stay healthy enough to string a few games together.

Was he supposed to start? Coulda sworn he was one of the names listed as not up for it - wasn't in the squad against Wolves either

He made the trip and it was between him and Barkley to start, but now the only midfielder we have on the bench is Lewis Bate and he is 17.

What channel is Bayern on in US!!? I got 3 channels showing Barcelona wtf

 

[koyvoo]

Oof Mertens

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

How is Goretzka viewed in Germany? I know in the past he's caught stick, but he's been a pretty constant presence for Bayern this year.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Great start fellas hahahaha

 

[Evilo]

Damn Mertens could have changed this tie in the first 2 minutes.

 

[Blender]

Welp...

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

We needed 4 anyway, let's go lads!

 

[Halladay]

Goal. That was fast.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

James vs Davies is a fun matchup

 

[Evilo]

Damn Frenchman!
But he fouled the defenseman there.

 

[Halladay]

He pushed him there.
