Remember that Promes "offside" goal in Amsterdam against Chelsea, and now the ref fucks them over with four massive decisions in five minutes (offside goal, red, red, penalty) 😆

Good thing Ajax fans weren't allowed in the stadium because they would've burned West London down and rightly so

First red was okay. Three big decisions. But yeah. Turns a 4-1 or similar result into a draw. And makes Chelsea look like a resilient team. Suddenly they’re joint top of the table instead of worrying about teams behind them

It was a foul by Blind but he was fouled right before he kicked Abraham's ankle. If it was a red card then the penalty should be given too, but the whole sequence was preceded by Blind being brought down by Kovacic.

Chelsea still have plenty to worry about, it's as tight as a group can be. Same GD as Valencia but lost the H2H, worse GD than Ajax but won the H2H thanks to the reffing shitshow tonight. They still have Valencia at the Mestalla to come too

I'm sure they're true but they've probably been a little blown out of proportion. It sounded to me like Guardiola asked Teta to do extra individual work with Sterling on some issues to better utilise him on the wing. Another staff member would probably have gotten results too. Suspect things like this are quite common in a working environment where your job literally is to improve player performance, and the main reason we've heard about Arteta specifically is because Guardiola was being generous and complimented a colleague when he got asked.

If you ever want to see how powerful the media are at shaping opinions based off nothing but bullshit, look no further than Mikel Arteta. How this guy even came into consideration for being our football manager is beyond me.

Clearly, he has no track record, so you can't judge him. Therefore, those who are seeking a Messiah will fall hook, line and sinker for someone like him with zero credentials. He's not even managed an under-5 team, ffs. Laughable.

Perisic knows how to make an entrance. Replaces Gnabry and 60 seconds later scores on a beautiful counter. 210 Bayern versus Olympiakos. Beautifully managed counter by Coman

I don't know why I get excited by the Champions League group stages, most of the games are just one-sided snoozefests.

So many crap teams making up the numbers.

VAR taking an age to decide whether Icardi's goal was offside. Can't be more than two centimetres in it if that. The goal stands.

Tell that to Red Star who is battering Gazzaniga's goal.

That goal was ridiculous  😆

Douglas Costa, my word.

City with another beautifully constructed goal against Atalanta. Scored by Sterling. A team that makes life simple for itself by doing passing and move drills all day until where others will be is like a 6th sense.

But Jesus with one of the worst penalties, you'll see. About 2 1/2 feet wide of the post and low. Holds his head in his cupped hands and cries.

Do his eyebrows still look like he'll start crying any second?

Feel like he's stalled out

City were all about keeping that ball in the corner flag. 

Rodrygo the youngest player to ever score a hattrick in the Champions League. Also scored the quickest brace ever, with 6 minutes and 14 seconds into the match.

Edit: Raul was younger.

I quite like the look of Rodrygo. He's the more natural footballer vs. Vinicius; better finishing, passing, decision making. 

Probably will spur Real into dropping ungodly amounts of $$$ on future Brazilian kids.

I didn't watch the match so I suppose this was it.
