7 games with 6 wins and a draw with only 3 goals conceded for City ever since Gvardiol has been placed in his actual position of Centre Back.

Turns out Pep finally realized using your best CB out of position on the wing isn't the best decision.

 

So Bayer is now our feeder club for coaches.

 

Hey if we benefit from it, why not. It will make for an excellent training job for Arbs.

 

Guardiola has also changed Manchester City's shape in possession (no more 3-2-5, it's 2-4-4 now).

 

One of the reasons why Arbeloa will probably manage the first team before Raul does. He is willing to grow and learn while Raul is ok with stagnating in Castilla.

 

Valladolid isn't beating Barca. So not having my hopes up that it moves the La Liga title needle today.

 

You jinxed it.

Interestingly, Dortmund could still be in the top 4 in a few hours if things go their way.

 

Niko Kovac has done a fine job since he took over.

 

This F1 sprint race has been hilarious.

 

QSG had rested all of their key players today, I suppose we're going to see a scary result next midweek.

 

Oddly enough, Arsenal put out a very strong XI, even though the league is done.

 

still a distant possibility they don’t qualify for CL so they need to secure points which probably why they had a strong team today.

Still, odd to play some of the players for 90 like Odegaard.

 

I have a feeling that PSG will score early, again, and that will be the end of the tie. Bad ending to Arsenal's season once again.
If Spurs or Man Utd win the Europa, they would have had a more successful season than Arsenal, the irony...

 

Valladolid 1-0

 

lol. Barca will thrash them 5-1
