@JuveJay How come you beat Man City so easily? In my savegame, Man City is amazing. Very hard to beat. They have Kane, Higuain, Aguero, Jesus, Mbappe, Lautaro, Sterling, De Bruyne and others, lol
Have to bear in mind that I was 9 seasons in at that point and their squad has changed a lot. It's still world class but apart from the first 4-5 seasons where Liverpool dominated and were the other strongest team in Europe, the PL is changing hands between the top 5 teams on my save. Spurs are currently top, even Man Utd and Arsenal won it.
After that defeat Pep went to Liverpool and City got Pochettino, so things change but not that much. On that particular game I think it's just a combination of a strong team and one of those perfect games where most shots go in. I just played a home game with Torino and had 27 shots on target and scored once, whereas that first game with Reggina I had 32 and scored 12 times. The game tries to recreate football randomness but not always very well.
For random's sake, coaches of some top clubs right now:
City - Poch
Liverpool - Pep
United - Zidane
Spurs - Ancelotti
Arsenal - Gallardo
Real Madrid - Laudrup, with Van Basten as assistant
Barfa - Koeman
Bayern - Emery
Inter - Bruno Lage
Milan - the mighty Graham Potter, current Brighton manager
PSG - Allegri
Atalanta are the regular challengers in the league, they have Luis Castro as coach. The random new moneybags team in Europe with a takeover is West Bromwich Albion...they are absolute shit but sign players for silly money.
