The worst commentary ever, such an excess of hyperbole just embarrassing It took Citeh 12 years and the budget of a country to win their first Champions League. Brian Clough and Forest won it twice in 4 years on a shoestring.
They won it twice in two years with Britain's most expensive footballer (Francis) and most expensive goalkeeper (Shilton). Agree commentary very poor.

Good question. I wasn't impressed with them. They relied on keeping City out and catching them on the break.

City had more possession, while Inter had more shots, and more shots on target, but none of them counted.

On balance, I think City deserved it, and Inter didn't.
In the end, City had a bit too much and in the end, they found a way.

That's a mixture of stats and 'feel'. That's the best I can do!
Could've gone either way, IMHO.
City scored their clear chance, but what would have happened if Inter scored one of their own?
May have put the game in the balance to go either way.
Nevertheless, City held clear but felt there was some luck in that.

Whoever recruited that lot and gave them contracts should never work again.

Absolutely fecking shite, the lot of them. A total embarrassment.
Which one of this fine list who said 'this is the most predigic* competition'?
PS Rio is great

Grealish tears talking about this group of staff. They have quadrople the staff size of other PL teams. They have absolutely bankrolled it. Corporate. Abu Duabi play thing. Multi-Millionaires winning all the trophies. Who would have thought it. Lets hope this win is the beginning of the end of Pep and co. They are so dominant - it's boring. They're boring.

At least it'll piss off the red half of Manchester/Hampshire.
That’s so cynical. Sheikh Mansour is a MASSIVE City fan. He went to his second game ever tonight. How’s that for glory hunting? 😂

BT Sport are renaming and will be called TNT Sports.

Accurately describes them as self-destruction.
