Allegri is back, life is back.

Sarri and our performance aside, I can't help but feel bitter.
We deserved to beat Lyon and we got extremely unlucky for the following reasons:
1-They only scored in France while De Ligt was out receiving treatment so they had numerous advantage and we fucked it up.
2-We deserved a clear penalty in the second half of the first leg and were inexplicably denied a deciding away goal.
3-Conceded the K.O in the beginning of the home match with a non-existent penalty.
4-Missed some chances that could've been enough for us getting through and were deprived from our attacking threat (Dybala and Costa).
5-Finally, we played the away game in a fully packed stadium and played the home game in an empty stadium and lost on away goals.

I believe with a proper amount of rest and a pragmatic game plan we could beat City, but wouldn't stand a chance against Bayern but no heavy score either.

To be fair, Sterling had an incredible miss in front of an open goal seconds before Lyon scored their controversial 2-1. Lyon had some luck on their side like Allegri always preached in finals.
Bernardeschi also failed to score an open goal. Lyon's penalty against us was BS, as was ours, but theirs made them proceed on away goals. Luck is always a factor in CL. Unless you're the much better team and even bad luck won't stop you. Juve and City weren't dominant against Lyon and that's it.

The stamina and energy levels of French and German teams who finished their leagues earlier are way above the rest at this point. It was pretty evident in the final minutes of PSG-Atalanta, Lyon-City and Leipzig-Atletico

This is what Pep managed to achieve since 2014 in the KO stages.

2014 with Bayern: 5-0 against Real Madrid after taking over a complete Bayern side that just won the Treble under Heynckes.

2015 with Bayern: 5-3 against Barcelona, losing 3-0 in the first away leg due to retarded approach with a half team out with injuries.

2016 with Bayern: 2-2 against Atletico losing the first away game 1-0, already there making life more than difficult. Going out on away goals.

2017 with City: Winning the first game 5-3 and losing the second leg 3-1, going out on away goals yet again.

2018 with City: Retarded approach against Liverpool, losing the first away leg 3-0 and already there being out before the return leg.

2019 with City: Losing the first away game as usual, going out on away goals again.

Guy is beyond retarded in the CL. He had a great Bayern team but couldn't get to a single final. He overtook City and had endless funds, he now had 4 years to get all the players he wanted. Still he didn't manage to get City with their finances and players into a fecking semifinal.

What a disaster really.
