UCL Last 16: Manchester City vs AS Monaco

Don't see Guardiola bowing out this early.

2-0 City tomorrow.
2-1 Monaco in 2nd leg.

Can never support rivals.

Forza Monaco.

2-2 tomorrow

Monaco are averaging 3 goals a game, while conceding only 1 a game.

City are averaging 2 goals a game and conceding also 1 a game.

Aguero has only scored in 6 games out of City last 22, while Falcao has scored in 12 out of 22.

To me regardless of who wins, it's going to be tight, but I'm going with City due to experience of the players and managers as being a deciding factor.

At City the scoreline will be something like 2-0, 2-1, 3-0 or 3-1 in favor of City, while at Monaco, it'll be a 1-1, 2-2 or either a 2-1 win for City or Monaco.

Monaco definitely seems like a team that can cause Pep a lot of troubles. So I wouldn't be surprised if they knocked out City, but I think City's experience and individual quality will see them through, but it should be a tight tie.

that was 2009? ffs, I feel old AF

Yeah man, I already forgot Adebayor played for City

Anyways an ex player celebrating against you does not a rivalry make.

I think Monaco got this. A lot of underrated players on that squad and they're playing at a ridiculous level atm.

Falcao will flop in England once again. City will win the first tie by a 2-0 margin or something and Pep will pull off a Mourinho to scrap through in the second leg.
Mbappe, Silva, Sidibe, Fabinho  and Bakayoko. The number of scouts who will be in attendance for this game. Hope all of them impresses. Especially curious to see whats the fuss about this Mbappe lad.

Yep. It's just another ex Arsenal player feeling like a free man again.

will be scouting future United GOAT Bakayoko intensively during these ties.

2-1 tonight for City, City to go through.

Wasn't he Monaco's best defender a season or 2 ago?

City bench

Expecting Pep to play with 2 DM at home against a Ligue 1 team?

Bench is meh, Nacho only real option to back a difference. Also I just realized that only reason Kolarov isn't playing is because he got injured on the weekend instead of Pep dropping him

That was park-the-bus Monaco.

He's slow as shit for this current team especially in this type of game imo. Didn't know Jemerson was suspended.

Monaco could be setting up to park the bus

Doubt it. Team is too attacking for that.
