Lol away? I don't remember any counter LMFAOThis match reminded me of our 2010 away game against Farca. Very solid defending with some good counters. All in all great performance.
Yepp, that's exactly what Pep said after the game as well:City were better here than in the final imo. They were nearly perfect aside from a few missed occasions.
Guardiola addressed the past Bastoni buzz and Erling Haaland struggling versus Inter:"The road to win the Champions League is long, but we played better than in 2023. They defended very well, and I admire that, but we did too. They didn’t have big chances other than with Lautaro Martinez on a counter. They are a top team. Nicolò Barella and Hakan Calhanoglu are exceptional. I would have rather won, but we have no regrets.”
Guardiola dished on the tactics of Inter coach Simone Inzaghi:“It’s not true that I tried to bring the defender to Manchester City. It’s hard for our striker since six men were guarding him. It’d be tough for everybody. The only way to solve the problem is to have more players close to him. I don’t expect to create 25 scoring opportunities against them, though. The credit goes more to them. They also have an excellent goalie.”
Full of praise. Glad that the team managed to hold on and schooled Conte in the process.“I admire their defensive prowess and how they can stay behind the ball. I like how they play a lot and consider them highly. We did everything we could to prevail. This match can’t be compared to a final. Plus, it would have been different if it took place in Milan. They are the Italian champions and are fully in control. I can only say that I have great respect. I still appreciated my team a lot. We’re not at the top of our capabilities, but we have started well.”
Good shout. We would give them a run for their money in our home match.Surprised to see so many neutrals saying this was a boring game— this was some high level chess. But I guess most people would rather see a scrappy goal-fest. I’m annoyed we don’t get to play City at the Meazza

Don't ever disrespect Grealish like that.That's because the majority of them have been through shit and mud, and their perspective isn't tainted. And their city rivals are the despicable Manchester United so they know how it feels to be the cunt of the town.
Plus football wise they enjoy the best the "school" after Mancini and now with Guardiola, their talents aren't usually domestic and they can see that their best players are always the ones they import rather than the useless turds they overspend for within England (Grealish, Sterling, Phillips, Stones till he turned DM etc). Only Walker was a proper success. And they sort of know that, ever since 2010 at least.
Problem is with their detached new fanbase that learned about the club via video games and the 2010s or even 2020s. They have no idea about the club culture.
A lot like the English speaking Barcelona (and Bayern) fanbase that popped up in the last 15-20 years.
Grealish is the only Manchester City player in the two games we played with them that I had zero concerns over.Don't ever disrespect Grealish like that.
Ha, concede that one. None of the players I mentioned were useless though, but still.They overpaid for Grealish. Useless turd is a bit too much.
You complain about video games way too muchBecause neutrals like highlights, not football.
They like shitty hoof the ball playing style with many mistakes and many chances created, because it feeds their low attention span.
And they're the video game generation(s) where enough football could be played with 8 or 12 minutes of gameplay, many goals and chances, because that's what they know.
I wouldn't put much thought into what these gullible fucks are saying. If the media they followed and respected called it a great game, they'd find a way to call it one too.
LMAOi would take grealish over thuram
Typical boomer.You complain about video games way too much
