How Pep Guardiola made a mess of Manchester City's big Champions League chance

Sterling wouldn't be able to play for a club like Bayern, at least not as a starter. We're not easily impressed with circus tricks. We are a very serious club about winning competitions and especially the Champions League and our record speaks for it. We're also usually very careful about who we invest our money into; we don't just throw 50-60 million on each defender to see if it's a hit or miss. (no offense).

With players like Sterling and his established record of missing sitters in front of goal due to weak composure and other mental attributes, it's a hit and miss in front of goal and in later rounds of CL, you get very little of those chances and your finishing rate must be a lot higher than his. We can't leave things to chances.

I'm looking forward to Bayern fans finally understanding why Sané had problems with Pep

I like Pep, we played some of the most entertaining football under him but I'm looking forward to City fans finally understanding that Pep's ideas aren't the ten commandments of football carved in stone. And even he said he wanted Sane to stay.

Löw

Sane is already back in the mannschaft and looks like his national team career could be longer lived than Löw's.

even Kroos

irrelevant
