Amazing how many people are comfortable with this.

I suppose the rest of the top six are ethical to the extreme

lad I'd take money directly off Hitler if it led to Everton winning the champions league, I'm not gonna pretend city fans are worse than us for being happy their team are good

What should be done?

Stop selling the game to the highest bidder. It is possible if there is the political will. In Germany, for example, a City or PSG or Newcastle could not happen. But UEFA is now in cahoots with all of this, so nothing will be done. That's why I find tonight depressing.

Well done Saudi Arabia with your spanish coach and largelyveuropean squad.. Best team in Europe.

Abu Dhabi.

 

[Woolverhampton_Blue]

Not the best game, but City are the best football team in Europe right now, and deserve it based on that.

You can make a case for them being financially doped, but let’s be honest, the game as a whole is rotten and has been for a while now; teams like City are just the inevitable result.

Of course not. But this is the European Cup. Not every contender needs to be run by human rights abusers.

 

[bluelife]

Guardiola to leave possibly…

Neither am I. But neither do I think tonight is an uplifting experience in any way.

I have less problem with them being financially doped - actually, they've spent it well - than I do the source of the doping.

Yeah Ronaldo was let down by his knees but Ronaldinho was just a party boy

Prime Kaka was close to Ronaldinho imo

 

[Librarian]

They certainly stopped Citeh playing their usual game which many try, but not many do (apart from Brentford)

Played a bit themselves to be fair
More shots and more shots on target than City, thought they deserved to bring it to extra time and were unlucky not to do so

It was by no means the backs to the wall display that was predicted

 

[Drico]

And how many people have Bayern murdered to win those titles?

 

[Gwladysstreetlad]

Not really arsed about Man City winning but I find the whole morale panic about them "buying success" to be laughable. As if the likes of the RS and Man Utd haven't been doing the same thing for decades before Man City joined the party and took it up a notch. Don't blame them for being smart enough to exploit a system that they (along with the rest of us) had pushed on them.

 

[TommyDavo]

Of course not. But this is the European Cup. Not every contender needs to be run by human rights abusers.

And we have no chance of joining the party. Made up for City.
