***Champions v Bayern CL Official Match Thread***

[Harry Dowd scored]

Like a few others have said, prefer Walker in the side ahead of Akanji. But that apart as good as we can expect, come on City.

Dangerous looking bayern team. All pace and no striker. Going to be a good game this!

Should have started. Well suited to handle Mane

[blues2win]

Mane’s not starting

[Mase]

BBC have Bernardo up front, Gundo defensive midfield and Stones further forward in the midfield, Ake right CB. Fuckin tossers

Love to see the Krauts crying into their steins after tonight

Every time the same. No idea how they come up with thsoe formations but they must be doing it on purpose.

They hate us. They’ve got some women’s friendly as the main headline. Paedos

Bt a joke

Pep's gone full control mode with that lineup. Wish Mahrez was playing, though. He's much better as a starter than coming off the bench. Bayern have benched both Cancelo and Mane, as suspected. Upamecano and De Ligt are plenty physical enough to deal with Haaland. We need to get runners in and around him or else we could see him isolated.

Thought you wanted Ortega in nets, anyway there was never a chance Walker was starting tonight and Akanji has totally justified the trust that has been placed in him. No issues with that line up at all, exactly as predicted and it is their privilege to tread the path to glory for City.

Musíala needs to be taken care of — he’s their most dangerous player - Will make mincemeat of Akanji !

I'm thinking it will be exactly the other way around

In what way?

Have you noticed our excellent record with Akanji in the side and the totally abject form of Walker virtually every time he comes on - he cost us two big league losses this season - Rags and Spurs & the Southampton goal last time out plus the League Cup defeat.

Here’s hoping the ref doesn’t fuck us over
