Those teams are good, but City are the best on the planet right now.
We trounced Bayern a couple of years ago in their own backyard. They are bigged up over here but I genuinely don't believe they are a patch on your lot.
Weirdly the only team I see stopping you is us. Can't put my finger on why as we've been shiiiiiiit for a year now.

hasn't worked for us over the last 5 years
I tell you what, If City don't win it this year,............when will you ever win it ?
It begs the question !

The Bayern of last season would have turned you lot at your best over. They weren’t all there when you played them.
We beat Bayern away when they had Robben and Ribery.
They are only just ahead of RBL in the league and Liverpool disposed of them with ease.
I said in a post a few weeks back that if yous drew the bigger guns it may actually work in your favour a bit. You have been knocked out by lyon spurs and us the last 3 seasons, all teams at the time of playing them you were considerably better than.
It might just take the heat off a bit, not going into the tie as overwhelming favourites. Whoever you get in the semi (if you get there) it will be 50-50.
Dont buy into this guff that its now or never though, thats a nonsense. Sooner or later yous will win it, its not an if merely a when.

When we have a world class striker, it’s the one thing we’re missing.
Peps billion pound squad should see you through.
See you in the final
I'd be more than happy to meet Liverpool in the final after our last 3 meetings.
the defeat against Spurs was just a fluke and if we had met liverpool in that final with KDB returning from injury I feel we would have beat them. We were unstoppable that season.

Not sure why you'd think this. Weren't you our biitches back then?
The 3 top teams are all in one half of the draw and given our record I am not ruling out Dortmund at all. Whoever comes through from the City half of the draw should start the final as considerable favourites.
Looks like we'll be playing in Budapest again.
Seems to suit us but not German teams.

the pitch there looks great so pep will be happy.
We didn't trounce Bayern in their own backyard,
it was 3-2 and we lost the home leg.
I am glad we might face them over 2 legs and not a one off final.
Our record against them in the CL is pretty much even steven.
A few years back in the CL , Dortmund put on the best away performance I have seen at the Etihad. They ran us ragged for 90 minutes and we escaped with a 1-1 thanks to a Mario penalty and Joe Hart having one of those games. I am more concerned with Dortmund at this time.
On a personal note , I would love to beat Liverpool in the final so the next time their fans, media and pundits bang on about "that night in Istanbul " we can say yeah but you lost
