Good game, good result.
Strong start to the game and took a deserved lead.
After about 25mins, Juve started to give the ball away a lot, so the goal was inevitably going to come. At least Juve showed the resilience to get through to half time having only conceded one.
The defence then stepped up in the second half as Man City took control of the game, but they were up to the task and held Man City at arm's length.
Shame Juve didn't make more good decisions on the break, as there were some great opportunities on the break.
That was one of the best, most controlled games I've seen from Sissoko.
Grygera was also very good. Not many people have played Tevez that well in the last couple of years. He also took his booking when he needed to, as Man City were breaking in a dangerous position.

I think the thing that impressed me most was how we coped with Man City physically and the pace of the game. For the best part of the last decade we have struggled against British sides because more often than not we were used to playing at our pace and controlling games. We weren't used to teams being overly physical and in your face.
I suppose you could argue this Man City team isn't traditionally british in style but they are very powerful and we coped with them. I'm suprised we weren't labelled with the ageing Juventus side cliche as usual, despite us being a younger outfit than the teams Chelsea and Man Utd usually field.

I don't know what Mancini was doing out there, but Vieira and Adebayor are two players that you would rarely see starting in a league game.
Still, Juventus defended remarkably well for their low standards this season, for the first time they actually looked like a unit. Bonucci actually played well today, and Chiellini was very good too. Sissoko was a beast in the middle of the pitch, and surprisingly enough, he didn't lose the ball a lot today. He kept it simple most of the time and passed the ball to a nearby teammate.
Del Piero was dangerous on occasion, but age is obviously showing on him, he screwed up two very good counterattacks by being too slow, while Iaquinta screwed up two others because of his poor intelligence and decision making with the ball at his feet.
