The strange timing limits the damage significantly, though. They can bring someone in or even sell him. I'm not sure where the ban applies to, either. Loan to Saudi for six months, perhaps?
Not that Brentford's a bad club to be at at the moment by any means but you do have to wonder just how badly Toney has done himself over, after the season he's just had, he'd have likely been the subject of a number of clubs looking to pay good money for (and to) him.
Just a reminder that we were the last team to beat City. The last side that they dropped points against were Forest. Southampton knocked them out of the League Cup. **** team.
Madrid have been absolutely awful. It's like watching City v Arsenal again. Modric clearly isn't fit and they need changes at the break.
City look imperious. Still, it’s Real Madrid. I’d be simultaneously shocked and utterly unsurprised if they come out second half and put 3 past them to go to the final.
City really were breathtaking. Some unreal football and complete domination of a Madrid team that whilst probably at or past its peak, is still a top side.
Gundogun said a short while ago that they're kinda used to losing at our place now. I think that suggests that at least part of it is mental. We're in their heads. Counter-attacking is basically the only way to beat them, too. Mourinho and Conte love that ****.
De Bruyne furious that a couple of his teammates didn't support his press. Got to maintain that mentality.
Jack Grealish really is starting to look like a £100m player. Huge improvement. Thank goodness we only bid Josh Onomah and a packet of wotsits for him a few years back. Dodged a bullet there, Richarlison is clearly the superior player.
Of course I don’t want them to win The Treble, but there is a part of me that does want them to because they are so good. They should do it. But Utd denying them to win a domestic cup double is too appealing
I wonder if Madrid will give Ancelotti the elbow if they go out? It would be odd, but not really for them.
