UCL, UEL, ECL 2021/22

[Jamesc]

Pep stop playing after 70 mins when City when 2 agg goals ahead.

He was thinking about Newcastle saving the legs of KDB.

Its not over till the fat lady sings.

Its not over till its over.

The chicken is not in the basket yet!

Don't count your chicken burgers till its in your mouth.

A bird in the hand is better than 2 in the bush.

[Jamesc]

Anyway its only Newcastle what.

Why need to rest any players?

Man City reserves can beat them.

You are never tired when you are winning.

Man City of all team should know about injury time goals.

Pep never read Man City history.

Klopp knows all about Liverpool history.

It's a curse from Africa that Pep will never win UCL ....  

The curse should have waited until ManC goes into the final first meeting Liverpool..... 

 

 

Yahoo news : Agent who said 'African curse' would stop Pep Guardiola winning Champions League claims 'nobody forgot'

The football agent who suggested an "African curse" would stop Pep Guardiola winning the Champions League has described being bombarded with messages to tell him he was right.

Dimitri Seluk, who hit out at the manager's treatment of Yaya Toure in 2018, added that he believes the whole continent had been willing Real Madrid to beat Manchester City on Wednesday night.

Seluk had first weighed in on Guardiola, with an eyebrow-raising prediction that "African shamans" were out to get him, after Toure, his then client, had declared he wanted to “bust the Guardiola myth”.

“God sees everything,” Seluk said immediately after Toure's departure from the club. “As a man who acted with Yaya, the legend of the club, which under different pretexts did not give the opportunity to go on the field. He turned all Africa against himself, many African fans turned away from Manchester City. And I’m sure that many African shamans in the future will not allow Guardiola to win the Champions League. This will be for Guardiola an African curse. Life will show whether I am right or not.”

Four years on, Seluk tells Telegraph Sport that he has received countless messages on his phone after City's dramatic semi-final exit that his forecast has proven correct. He said, however, that his only intention at the time was to point out that Guardiola was wrong to part ways with Toure. "I remember saying this many years ago," he said. "When I tell this, many people say 'now this looks like it has really happened.'

"I'm not really opposite Pep. He is a good coach.... [but] I know Africa supporters, one billion people, were opposite Pep."

Seluk said his initial thought after Real Madrid's 3-1 win against City was that "everybody forgot about me saying this". But after looking at his phone he saw "nobody forgot".

"From all countries in Africa, I received a lot of messages because everybody supports Real Madrid as they are opposite to Pep," he added. "Yaya did not question [Guardiola] but he gave a lot to the club. When he came, Manchester City only dreamed of playing in the Champions League. Yaya was from Barcelona. Normally a club like Manchester City would always invite legends from the club for the game, but of course nobody did anything last night - this is a problem. In life, if you do something opposite you will receive back what you do not do."

Riyad Mahrez opened the scoring, but City ended up losing 6-5 on aggregate after Rodrygo came on to turn the fixture with two goals, before Karim Benzema slotted home a penalty in extra-time.

First manager to win all the 4 different kinds of European Cups  

UCL, Europa, Cup Winners Cup and now Conference League Cup. 

That's why whoever clubs that sacked him, have to pay minimum 23 millions pound before his contract is up.

Carlo is a better tactician than Klopp.

Carlo is just like Rafa.

[Jamesc]

RM is old but gold

They really have some world class players

like Kroos Klopp knows him well and Modric.

Of course Benzema and Vini Jr

and a keeper that couldn't have a better day

[Jamesc]

Starting Diaz was the wrong choice.

RM was happy he played because they know how to contain him.

Should have started with Firmino for more control.

Diaz is an impact player come on when defenders are tired

and run at them.

Even Jota should have started before Diaz.

Just to get the first goal especially with RM packing their defence.
