Rubbish!
City bottled it plain and simple.
Perhaps the ref might have been biased because Casemiro probably should have been red carded with 2 yellows and also the time issues looked favourable to RM.
But bottom line only Pep and his boys are to blame and they choked it. Happens all the time in life under stressful situations. The enigma of life.
2 points of interest.
1. Pep has yet to win a CL w/o Messi. Every season passing makes this psychological factor even greater and I think these negative vibes pass down to his teams with Munich and now City.
2. Stand corrected but don't think any of the City players have won a CL before. They are a very very good team no doubt but somehow lack the maturity when it counts in the CL context.
