Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola said it is "incredible we are fighting for everything" after his side reached the FA Cup semi-finals in dramatic fashion to keep their quadruple hopes alive.

 

Pep, have a look at the above graph,.... it ain't that incredible !

 

 

Guardiola is obviously an excellent coach but his success is down to two main reasons.

 

1. Messi

2. Money

I saw that graph yesterday -- I didn't notice we were on it (twice!).

 

I think Guardiola is a superior coach to any other. 

 

There's no doubt money has helped -- and it looks like his CL wins have been down to Messi -- but I don't think it's the main reason.

Look at his time at Bayern Munich without Messi or Money (in amount relative to direct CL competiors) where he didn't make a CL final and tended to get THUMPED in semi-finals or DUMPED by a Diego Simeone masterclass.

 

Let's see how the CL goes this season..............

Three Semi-finals on the bounce, I think (?), and they ran away with the League / Cup every season. 

 

I agree it is looking like Messi was the difference. I don't see that changing this season. They'll lose -- hopefully! :D -- in the Semi-finals.

Juve were 16/1 before the Atletico game, I should have jumped on it. Signing Ronaldo is probably going to be the difference between constant runners up and winners. I think its between them and Barca.

 

Liverpool to go through.

Barca to go through.

City to go through.

Juve to go through.

 

Barca to beat Liverpool in the semi 1

Juve to beat City in semi 2.

Liverpool will have too much for Porto if they play as they can. City been comparatively stuttering a little lately but Spurs also have two faces. On paper it has to be City.
