I saw Mbappe at the Etihad when he was with Monaco. Even then you could see what a player he would be. Almost impossible to handle in this mood. Is Messi really going to stay at Barca?

Moise Kean who scored the header for PSG is the guy who was subbed off for Everton at the rags last year after less than 20 minutes.

Duncan Ferguson it was when he was caretaking hooked him off as he was getting destroyed.
Crazy stat about the Barca v PSG game is both managers have managed Southampton.

Mbappe plays in a different league so that's a bollocks stat.

None of them played in the same league during age range. So why only me mention Mbappe?

From the start of City's resurgence, with the exception of that first "Hey World, we are City, so sit up and notice us" transfer that was Robinho, we have never really ventured into the transfer world of global diva superstars.
As time has gone by, the players we have bought have been largely never been feted at the top level.
The one consistent factor has been their personalities, their willingness to learn, their ability to fight to the end. and stand up when knocked down.

Why would we wish to change that?
We have an amazing group of players who stand together as equals, no matter what their level of ability. Every player a cog in a precision machine.

As great as Messi has been or even is, I think he would change that balance. Mbappe is an amazing talent but seems to be more about himself than the team.
"If we don't win trophies I'm leaving" is a self centred comment which doesn't fit with City's "If we don't win trophies, we will fight harder"

No more clearly seen than this season's turn round over recent months

Both the PL and La Liga are harder leagues than the French league, by a fair bit.
