Some of their combination play is breathtaking. Every player fits into their gameplan to a tee.

Isn't it amazing how Jardim has completely transformed a scrub like Fabinho, who by all accounts looked like a dime a dozen talent at right back, into one of Europe's best midfielders? He needs to bring that bloke with him when he comes to Arsenal this summer to replace Arséne.

He was pretty highly rated at RB actually, plenty of teams wanted him 2 seasons ago before Jardim converted him into a brilliant CM. In him and Bakoyoko, they have 2 of the most balanced B2B combination. If Jardim were to come, he better bring Mendy along. He's probably the best LB in europe this season, the consistency of his attacking runs and crosses is top notch.

I like how Jardim's team don't fuck around when they attack. Every move is done with purpose. If he can make Bernardo Silva plays like this, I wonder what he can do with Ozil.

Its annoying that we used to play like this 15 years ago.

My word it's been 15 years since the double winning side. That's nuts.

Monaco is tiring badly again and it looks like Bakayoko is struggling with his thigh injury. Needs a sub to prevent a goal I reckon.

Raggi is injured as well.

Bryant

Sane scores. I think Monaco stuck with 4-4-2 too late, it wasn't working this half. too much space out wide (Sane/Sterling runs are killer) and space in between the midfield and defence.

Clrnc

It's been coming. They can hardly run in the 2nd half and they have no depth on the bench to replace the injured players with Falcao and Glik suspended.

EDIT: Bakayoko scores. 3-1

Segway

That's why you don't play Kolarov at CB.

Clrnc

Monaco is such an English club killer. Chelsea, us and now City.

goon

Lol City. Great tie though, two proper games of football.

Humbling experience for Pep

Would you take Bakayoko here Clrnc?

Claudius

Lol. Wenger grins over his evening hot chocolate. Champions League respects no reputation

Gazza M

Well done monaco. They were missing key players and still pulled it off

Leicester flying the flag for the English clubs

Coombs

Nice work Monaco. Hope things stay this interesting and the Semis have some unlikely participants.

Claudius

Is Sampaoli still a candidate for Barca? Does Jardim slip ahead of him? Does it matter who the manager is when you have four of the world's 10 best players?

Definitely. We are missing a strong and powerful ball winner like him in the middle of the park. It's so crucial in big games to win the midfield battle like they did.

Pep will be kicking himself. Monaco is missing 2 of their best players are still manage to make City look like mugs. Should have killed them in the first leg alone mind you.

QF will be interesting with Monaco and Leicester in it.

English football has gone to complete and utter shite. So far off the pace it's unreal.

MistaT

Moncao vs Leicester would be great, like the idea of one of them advancing.

I would say Barca are more likely to hire someone that has a history of playing or coaching for them. Ernesto Valverde and Unzue are names that are popping up.

Clrnc

Take a bow.
