No shots on goal for two hours after the fifth minute, averaged about two passes a minute, one of the most shameful cowardly performances ever seen in a Champions League final. Played for penalties and got what they deserved.
If you spend £2bn of a state's money, no conversation about Guardiola's greatness should happen without mentioning it. Nor without noting that UEFA sanctioned City for breaching financial regulations, and that the most serious charges fell on a time-bar rather than being disproven. Or that 115 Premier League charges remain outstanding, with a verdict that may arrive sometime this decade if we're lucky. Any discussion that leaves all that out just isn't honest - and we'll get a lot of that from the media this week.
I wonder if the unnamed person who approved the illicit payments to agents and others at Chelsea is connected to the unnamed person who approved a £35m payment to an unnamed Chelsea director after the sale to BlueCo took place.
The 28 page PL decision document, which reviewed 200,000 pieces of evidence, does not name those who signed off on dodgy deals, why the silence?
Look at Amad's left leg twist when he falls. It's in the same movement as when Truffert blatantly pushes him. Stuart Atwell deemed it not 'sufficient' enough for a penalty. The constant inconsistencies in officiating is a joke. @FA_PGMOL Any answers?
